Best for Laptop use, but will work for monitors 
2008-08-29
This product is really meant for laptop screens but 3M also recommends it for LCD monitors. I bought one for my LCD monitor because it was such a good value when compared to screens that are meant to hang on the monitor frame.
This essentially just a sheet that perfectly fits the screen. The downside are the tabs that you attach to the frame of your monitor to hold the sheet in place. They don't provide much support and if the monitor frame has a beveled edge like mine does they can be tricky to apply. The tabs are pretty small and non-obstructive.
If you don't need to ever remove the privacy screen after putting it up this will do the trick. If you have to take it on and off I can see those tabs becoming a pain and probably the glue will not hold for long.
The product does what it claims and will black out the screen if viewed from the side. Make sure it will work for your particular office set up. The best part is as long as I have brightness turned all the way up , it doesn't darken the screen tremendously when I view it from the front, and is much easier on the eyes than the type of filter that blurs the text.
Eh.

There is a very (VERY) limited area where screen is dark from onlookers. Wish I didn't buy this.
It works like magic!

This product is just what I needed. I use a 17 inch monitor and the pricacy screen fits like a glove. There are sticky tabs that come with the privacy screen sheet to hold it up against the monitor that might distract you from time to time but what the heck, just ignore them.
Perfect! 2007-10-26
Just what I was looking for ... especially when it involves privacy issues in Healthcare.
Doesn't work unless you are next to monitor

The viewing field with this product in place is far too wide. You can stand 45 degrees from the monitor and still see the screen. You practically have to be standing at a 90 degree angle from the screen to have it blank out. Most LCD monitors are difficult to read from that angle anyways.
Returned mine.
Terrible product, Read why 2007-04-04
3M PF17.0 LCD privacy filter keeps confidential and private information private. It utilizes 3M's blackout privacy technology so only persons directly in front of the monitor can see the image on screen, passersby see only a dark black screen. 3M PF17.0 is excellent for high traffic areas. It protects your LCD panel from scratches and damage.
decent for the price

I'd been looking for a privacy filter but everything I found was almost $200 for the same type of product. This isn't 100% effective (due to the angle of my desk), but it serves its purpose for where my desk is situated, plus you can't beat the price.
Best Privacy Filter to Purchase 2007-01-09
I searched in local stores for a privacy filter that would fit my LCD monitor at work. This search was unsuccessful so, I almost gave up on the idea of having my monitor filtered away from people leaning over my desk. I went to Amazon and found this 3M Privacy Filter PF17.0 for my 17in LCD Monitor. This was the best purchase for my office since there are no ground wires attached. Now everyone in the office is wanting a filter.
Great product! 2006-10-04
I ride a bus twice a day and want some privacy there when working on my notebook computer, so I bought this product. It includes sticky tabs to affix the screen to the monitor, and also sticky tabs with little clear non-sticky handles so that you can slide the filter out when you don't need it. I used the ones that allow for easy removal of the filter, since I do not need the privacy screen except for when I'm riding the bus. The filter does somewhat darken the screen to the user, and it also does the job of keeping your screen private from people sitting nearby. I like this product and would recommend it to others.
Great Product 2006-08-23
You can almost completely stop those peeping toms with this filter. While it is not 100% effective, it does block or blur most of the view from people who are not directly behind you. You can kind of see the double sided tape squares you place in each corner to keep it affixed to your monitor but it isn't obvious enough to be annoying or distracting.
Amazon.com has the lowest price I could find on the web plus free shipping. I got my in 3 days and am completely satisified with this product.
