FAQ
What size monitor is this privacy screen filter designed for?
The Kensington EQ238A169A is specifically designed for 23.8" LCD monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The exact measurement is 604.52 mm diagonally, ensuring precise compatibility with widescreen displays of this size without gaps or overhang.
How does the privacy function work on this screen filter?
The filter incorporates a limited viewing angle technology that narrows the field of vision to approximately ±30° from center. This means someone viewing the screen from the sides will see a darkened or obscured image, while the primary user directly in front sees a clear display, effectively preventing visual eavesdropping in shared environments.
Can I use this filter on a touchscreen monitor?
Yes, this privacy screen filter maintains full touch compatibility. The material and construction allow touch inputs to register accurately through the filter, making it suitable for interactive kiosks, touch-enabled all-in-one PCs, or monitors with touch functionality without compromising responsiveness.
What are the differences between the matte and glossy sides?
The reversible design offers two distinct viewing experiences. The matte side reduces reflections and glare in brightly lit environments, while the glossy side provides more vibrant colors and sharper contrast. Both sides maintain the same privacy protection and blue light filtering, allowing users to choose based on their lighting conditions and visual preferences.
How is this privacy screen filter installed and removed?
Installation offers two methods: using the included double-sided tape for a permanent, clean look without visible holders, or using the frameless tab holders for temporary setups that allow quick removal. The tab holders clip onto the monitor bezel without adhesive, making them ideal for shared workstations or situations requiring frequent filter relocation.
What durability features does this filter include?
The filter features a 2H surface hardness rating for scratch resistance, along with specialized coatings that provide glare resistance and fingerprint resistance. These durability characteristics ensure the filter maintains optical clarity and protective functions over extended use, even in high-traffic environments where monitors may encounter incidental contact or cleaning.
