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.

I purchased the black one and have no issues with reflections and have not used the gold one.

The gold lens lessens the glare from oncoming headlights as well as city lights. The gold lens also diminishes the lack of visibility when driving in fog. I would not wear anything else. Hope this helps.

this might be helpful: 3M Privacy Filter for 17.3 Inch Widescreen Laptop (PF17.3W); available here on Amazon; from the product description page: "Filter is reversible. Choose matte side for anti-glare or glossy side for increased clarity."

I have owned both Std and Gold, and yes the Gold is "Glossy" on both sides but one side is black the other side is Gold. I prefer the Gold side over the black as it does provide higher rejection compared with the black side, but setting the angle is more important as you can reflect major light into some one's eyes as it can be like a mirror, sometimes I'll flip the screen over to avoid that in very sunny locations but in-doors the Gold is awesome and you can use it to see if someone is behind you scouting you out too. :) LoL But the Std black matt on one side and glossy on the other does cause light diffusion with a very minor loss of sharpness, hence why I like the Gold over the Std for those two reasons. Hope this helps...

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.

I have the privacy version. It is crystal clear viewing, and no glare for the most part. It is super thick so kind of like impact protection =). I got it because of the thickness as I had a cracked on my screen. U can't see or feel the cracks at all what so ever. All phone functions still working perfectly ever with the thickness.

Depends on the individual needs. The gold version has much more storage and table space. I looked at both at a Home Depot before I bought mine.

One frame with a white filter (translucent fabric for diffusing bright glaring light). There are two different covers with a total of four surfaces for reflecting/blocking light: white, black(absorbing obviously), silvered fabric and gold fabric. To me, the white filter and the white reflector are the most useful and the item is worth getting just for these. Haven't found the silver useful yet, but I haven't had it that long either. Gold(ish) coloration can be added in post processing in software. Hope this helps.

No. It makes it very private. That's why I got this. BTW, I've had several comments about how nice this looks. One person actually thought it was the glass !

I have used these for DJ'n (especially in smaller bars, etc) where speaker is 20' or less away and the music gets to be too much to understand requests. Can still hear people talking as long as they are close by. I think I have hearing damage already so without ear filters/plugs I can't hear people very far away anyways.I have not used the gold filters but the silvers seem to do real good.

The filter is not very removable once in place. But it is not a particularly dark filter. If you have your screen brightness between middle and High you wont even notice its in place even from ext ream angles. Once the brightness hits about 1/3rd it becomes a decent privacy filter, but no where near as good as the previous 3M filters I have used. I was quite disappointed with this one.

I always have used gold one and i have already tried platinum. It seemed to have a different touch in the keyboard and the disply of the gold one is more clear for me. I prefer the gold one. Regarding fastness I could not see any difference

That would depend on what you want--I use clear because my shower wall is gold tone, plus my bathroom is tiny, so I wanted a more open feel. I wouldn't use white at all, but a tan might work, if you wanted less see-through.

Off hand, I would ask, WHY? The gold filter is made to work on its own. The ceramic FILTER HOLDER is meant to be used with the 4 cup paper filters (bleached or unbleached). I've not tried using the gold filter I have inside my ceramic filter holder as it seems redundant. The single problem that I have had with my gold filter is occasional granular leakage when the coffee is ground too small. I can not really see any benefit to placing the gold inside the white ceramic except, perhaps, to save the cost of the paper filters.

Well I would recommend the transparent ones. To me the black ones are too thick amd I feel more comfortable using the transparent ones.

I have the black, gray and green curtain. It's thin enough to allow light in, but still able to provide plenty of privacy. Hope this helps.
