Pros & Cons
Pros
It is possible to buy a privacy filter that you are satisfied with. The gold reflective side (it is reversible) can reflect a lot of light.

Packaging/appearance

This can happen if you don't have a perfectly dry environment, or haven't been careful in wiping the screen and your hands dry!
Competitiveness
Even with flagging anti-glare properties and manufacturer-specific adhesion hiccups, this is a 5-star buy if you can find it at... Read More
Fit my hp laptop with 14in screen and looks great.
This is certainly possible -- either by design (off-brand, non-approved suppliers), or a cheap knock off product from china .
