I’ve been using privacy filters for close to 15 years. Perhaps more. I was really eager to ty this one out. The magnetic attachment means sounded fantastic to me, and it might be for others, but it was a problem with my Acer Swift Go 14. The magnets would shift up about an 8th of an inch leaving a small uncovered strip at the bottom of the screen. Not enough to be much of a privacy concern, but it is disconcerting.Fortunately, the magnets can be removed from the screen. The filter can be attached with the magnets, with adhesive strips, or with side “guides” on the sides and bottom. I’ve always used guides.The top cut out for the camera is a generic cut, but it leaves a bit uncovered right below the camera. Again, not a privacy issue, but it can be a bit distracting at times.The filters I have always used came from one of the biggest names in office supplies. You can always get new guides from them for free. They don’t even charge shipping. At least they didn’t the last time I needed new ones. I don’t know how you’d get replacements for this filter.The packaging says that if you have questions to contact the sales team, but provides no contact information. A piece of paper inside says “If you have any questions please contact me,” but there is no English contact information in English and I don’t know if the Chinese writing below that is contact information.I’m not sure that it narrows the viewing angle as much as previous filters I’ve had, but I don’t have an old one to compare. None of them will help if the person is right next to you.Of course, the filter will make the screen darker. I don’t think that it is any darker than what other filters do, and I am not penalizing them for that. Still, with a screen that doesn’t get bright anyway, any of these types of privacy filters will have a significant impact.The lack of contact information cost one star. The fact that the magnetic attachment didn’t work with my computer cost another star. It’s not a bad product, it just could be better. That includes having contact information.

Tried the other 2 options for almost 20 mins unsuccessful, only frustration... The magnet did work however, keep in mind the negative and positive poles are not marked so you will occassionaly see the magnet strip jump to attach itself to the other magnets, don't rely on the sticky on the back of the magnet to hold it in place. luckily there are also thin metal plates inside the screen bezels which along with the magnet pads also help to keep the privacy screen up - but expect that you occassionally line up and adjust the screen to the monitor. BECAUSE THE PRIVACY SCREEN STILL WORKS AND IS GOOD, REGARDLESS OF THE FINICKY INSTALLATION METHODS ( I DIDN'T WANNA USE THE PERMANENT OR LONGER TERM INSTALL AS I DONT WANT ANYTHING REALLY STICKING LONG TERM) I WOULD STILL GIVE THIS 4 STARS - JUST BE AWARE OF THE FINICKY INSTALL AND DON'T EXPECT THIS TO BE PERFECT, BUT EXPECT THE PRIVACY SCREEN FUNCTION WORKS VERY WELL...
