I bought the Gold privacy screen for my new Mac Pro 15.5 Laptop. It works great! Fellow workers complain because they can't see my laptop screen unless they get directly behind me. It works especially well with window light hitting it. If fellow workers do stand directly behind me, I just spin around and they back off. I reordered the one for a 17" Mac Pro as it fits better than the one 3M recommends for the 15.5". The 3M recommended screen fits only over the viewing area and leaves about a 1" border to the edge of the screen and is held on with cheesy plastic tabs that glue on the screen. It looks bad and in two weeks the cheesy plastic mounting tabs fell off. You will have much difficulty cleaning the laptop screen with the cheesy plastic tabs glued in place. The Gold Screen for the 17" Mac Pro fits over the entire screen of the 15.5" Mac Pro and is right to the edge of the entire screen. It just leans up against the screen as it leans back. It is a glove fit and is well worth the difference. It lays down flat when I close the screen and travels well. Don't buy the Gray Screen Filter, the Gold is 500% better! The Gray was a costly mistake. Cheaper isn't always the answer. Also, I bought directly from 3M and paid way too much one the first round. (sales Tax, shipping, and a higher price) This time Amazon was my source. (3M(tm) GPF17.0W Widescreen Gold Notebook Privacy Filter) Roger

I use this in my Physical Therapy office on my laptop and it works well. I like the color side because it has a cooler feel but you can turn around the filter and get the old blackout look.

3M does need some competition with this product because the screen is so expensive.

For three years I've used the smoke colored 3M privacy filter on a 15" macbook pro, and it's been awesome. Just bought a 17" and saw this new gold filter and had to give it a go (it's really cool looking :-).

But, big bummer when I put it on the screen unlike the smoke colored one, this gold one has visible diagonal lines that made me dizzy within a minute of viewing. Sending it back to get the smoke filter.

1. Very susceptible to fingerprints

2. VERY REFLECTIVE

3. VERY Hard to keep in place. The stickies provided to hold it to the screen keep falling and yes, I did clean the area with a solvent before applying them.

Two issues:

1. Paid for 2 day delivery. It was delivered late in 4 days

2. Ordered a GPF 17.0W (wide screen) Received a GPF 17.0 standard width screen that is mislabeled with a sticker stating it is a GPF 17W wide screen. The OEM packaging is labeled GFP17.0 standard. How does this happen?

Paid to get it expedited and get something that is unuseable for intended purpose and delivered late. 0 for 2! Now the hassle and associated delay of getting a replacement. Can you say headache?? Rated as one star due to experience (delay, and wrong product)

Spoke with Amazon customer service, they were very helpful and are refunding the shipping fee and sending a replacement productWill update when received. via overnight shipping. Changed from one star to two stars based on their helpfullness in recovering). Will update when received.
