Is gold or black more effective as a privacy filter? Gold seems more expensive, does price/color influence the level of privacy?

I have owned both types in the past, to me they seemed equally effective in terms of privacy.

I have not owned a gold one but if you adjust your brightness on the black one it is very hard to see. Plus you have the shiny and matte finish to the black one so you could flip it and play with it to see what works.

Samsungs tend to be very reflective. I'm getting my new LG 42LD550 within the next two weeks so I'll post here how it turns out. In general though I recommend keeping the lights turned off or very low, if possible. Also, getting wood blinds instead of plastic, or thick, dark curtains. Color of the walls help as well, darker is better than lighter colors (affects reflection of light). Viewing position makes a big difference too, be sure to get as centered as possible. If none of the above works, you can always buy TV filters, same as PC monitor filters.

mine has one of those gold screen filters but you could fit a standard paper filter in there if you wanted.if you're within driving distance of Oakland you can have mine. I don't use it anymore and i don't think it's worth boxing and selling.

It is translucent and will filter all colors out, except the color it is. However, it should not affect any focal properties.

Consumer level (nice for snapshots) but not as forgiving regarding exposure as Portra. Ultramax tends to be grainier. A lot of people seem to think it' s Gold 400 under another name. To me the results of Portra can't be beat especially by a supermarket brand.

probably the ultra dark. the darker the tint, the more expensive it is. compare prices per same amount in ounces. hope that helps :)

In my opinion the additional $70 for the Gold over the Silver is worth it. Basically, what the Gold has that the Silver does not is the LCD timer, the larger work table and the charcoal bin. These are all simply convenience items but I use them all.

yes; the difference is a richer, darker coffee if you use the gold filter by itself.

There are versions specific to all the Macbooks, Macbook Air, and iMacs on the market. They are a perfect fit and cover the whole screen. I have the Gold on my 17 inch macbook pro and it does a great job of providing privacy and protecting the screen

You have a choice. Go incognito wearing black. Hardly noticed until people are up close. Yellow if you want to go with the bumble bee look.

I bought the golden/beige one and I use it to block the western sun. I really can't see anything through it in the daytime. I imagine if you and a light were behind it, it would probably show images/shadows.

It's darker than a typical widow screen (the material is thicker and darker), but I wouldn't say it provides much privacy.

The privacy filter is attached directly to the screen. The product includes two adhesive strips that are placed on opposite sides of the filter. After carefully placing the adhesive on the filter, you need to carefully line up the filter so that it sits inside the border of your laptop on top of the screen. The filter is manufactured to completely cover your respective laptop screen size. I purchased the gold filter and I love it. There are two sides to each filter that may be used to cover your screen: matte and glossy. The gold-colored filter is the glossy side of the filter and the opposite of its glossy side is the matte black. The glossy and matte side of the filter reflect light differently; you should spend some time looking through the filter to decide which side you prefer. The gold-colored glossy filter looks awesome on my airbook and I receive consistent comments from other people that they cannot my screen through the filter unless they are looking directly at the screen. I highly recommend this product.

Yes, I have both the Light and Platinum on my home and can honestly say the difference is very hard to see. From the outside they both seem to look as reflective and from the inside the platinum may be a bit darker looking but not by much. I like both and have no complaints but just trying to help.

I believe it is. I chose the gold over the silver because of the charcoal bin, lower storage rack, and much nicer table area. I feel it is just much more convenient to use. My gold performer is the absolute best grill I have ever owned...and I'm 72 yrs old so I've owned a few.

The silver empties out the bottom. That's also where the air flow comes through. The gold has a solid bottom and has air holes in the side for the flow. The gold has a wire that locks down the lid. As you can see the gold is better for travel and camping. The Silver is better option for back yard. If your porch has a wood floor the Silver might not be safe because of the chance of coals slipping past the catch plate.

The Personal Ionic Air Purifier--Black is a bit larger and seemed to have greater output. One thing for sure though, it lasted longer the the mini_Mate. It is what I always used when traveling, going to movies etc.
