    I bought the greenonion one through Alienware when I bought the laptop. It does indeed cut the glare a bit which I really liked. It's cut to fit the screen perfectly with cutouts for the camera and microphones.

    Here's the tricky part. It is a PITA to install! I have a lot of experience with films and decals (tinting cars and applying graphics as a hobby) and this screen protector really tested my patience. It's VERY easy to screw up the install and waste $35.

    I have 1 tiny spec of dust at the bottom edge which caused a small bubble. The rest came out perfect but I think I got lucky. It's almost impossible to fix if you do it incorrectly. If you can pull of the install it's worth it. It's not a privacy filter but it helped me a ton for brighter lighting conditions indoors.
