The screens are great at providing privacy but we have purchased several and have the following complaints.

Some users say they darken the screen too much. That means sometimes they are not used.

The weight of the units is a problem. The side-mounted adjustable tabs slip when used with the larger (17" and bigger) filters. There are top-mounted tabs included also, but they are not adjustable, so the filter sits too low on some displays, obscuring the top of the screen and sometimes hitting power or adjustment buttons on the bottom front of the monitor.

Some displays use a spring-loaded adjustable stand . The extra weight of the filter can overload the spring, so the display won't stay up and has to be propped up to keep it from dropping down to the desktop.

The weight comes from the frame and the fact that the filter itself as a thick plastic pane. We are now looking at a lighter, flexible film-type filter that doesn't have the plastic frame and rigid pane. The other product also has a stronger spring-loaded mounting system.

Weight is less of an issue with the 15" diagonal units.

It is a Privacy Filter but it is rectangular in shape and the wrong size for my monitor. It doesn't look like the photo (it doesn't have little hangers on the top corners) It has velcro stickies to hold the filter to the front of the monitor. I can't use this.... disappointed.

Does the job! I've tried other privacy filters and this one is the best.
