I have confirmed it does the same with filter in place. I already know it leaves a little mark on my display when I close my lid, even without the filter. This means that it will be more annoying if I am watching a video or doing something requiring greater clarity or brightness to remove and replace with the adhesive tabs, so it will likely just stay on and I'll live with the reduced visual clarity.The other thing I'm concerned about is where the pointer stick is.

What I mean is that the instructions say you can remove and replace, but it's clearly not intended to be removed every time you use your laptop. I'll have to see how annoying it is over time, but must be noted.A trade-off to having used the adhesive strips vs.

This is, in my opinion the primary drawback of this item. I assume it's due to the "louvers" they have in place to create the filters.

Even with brightness cranked up all the way, it is probably about 70-80% of full bright with the filter in place. None of the images or text are as sharp as they are without the filter. The matte was too dim for me.What I don't like:Main thing is that the filter, whichever side it is one, reduces visual clarity and brightness, even from straight ahead. That's a better situation than getting one that ostensibly "fits" but is then too small to use the adhesive strips, for example.My display is already glossy, so I kept that look. My advice? Get the largest one for your application and trim if necessary. I don't need to use any additional pressure, so that's a positive. It went on easily and sits right on the display with no bubbles.The touchscreen actually works just fine. As I mentioned, I used the adhesive strips, not the tabs. Those slide mount tabs are so unsightly and this looks really nice.Installation was very straightforward. It is a VERY clean look and almost looks as if there is no privacy filter even attached. Only if I intentionally moved closer to get a better angle could I see, and that would be quite conspicuous.I used the adhesive strips so it would stick to my flat display. I positioned myself at about where I would expect a fellow passenger on a plane to be sitting next to me and I could see hardly anything. Not that it makes a difference in functionality, necessarily, but something to note.What I like:The filter does what it says - it filters the picture for those trying to look at the screen from an angle to the side. Slightly off, but not significantly so.Note that my filter has a curved notch offset of center on one of the long sides of the filter, whereas the product image shows a sharper notch in the very center of the long side. The package says the dimensions are 194mm x 345mm. The instructions say to clean your display with the enclosed lint-free cloth, but there was no cloth included in my package (the packaging does not mention a cloth, to be fair). Fortunately, we have a nice paper cutter/guillotine, so it was very easy to do.What's in the package (see picture)It has the filter, 6 adhesive strips, slide mount tabs, and instructions. I did have to trim it about 17mm, but it is now a perfect fit. I went with the 15.6" black filter because I wanted the filter to extend past the actual display area onto the black bezel area.

Decided to go with the known brand name over the Akamai privacy filter, also sold on Amazon for a couple dollars less. It's good, but not great.I have a 14" HP Elitebook 840 G3.
