FAQ
What size laptop does this privacy screen filter fit?
This Kensington privacy screen filter is specifically designed for 14-inch widescreen notebooks with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The exact display size supported is 14 inches (355.60 mm) measured diagonally. It will fit most standard 14-inch laptops with this aspect ratio, but you should verify your specific model's screen dimensions for optimal compatibility.
How does the privacy feature work on this screen filter?
The privacy function utilizes Nanolouver technology to limit the viewing angle of the display. When installed, the screen remains clearly visible to someone sitting directly in front of it, but the image becomes obscured when viewed from side angles. This prevents visual eavesdropping in open office environments, coffee shops, airplanes, or other public spaces where others might glance at your screen.
Does this filter reduce blue light from my laptop screen?
Yes, this privacy screen filter includes blue light reduction technology. It filters out a portion of the high-energy blue light emitted by your display, which can help reduce eye strain during extended use and minimize disruption to your natural sleep-wake cycle. This is particularly beneficial for professionals who work long hours on their laptops or use devices in the evening.
How do I attach this privacy screen to my laptop?
The filter includes two attachment options for flexible installation. You can use the included frameless tab holders that clip onto the top of your laptop screen bezel, or you can use the double-sided tape for a more permanent mounting solution. The reversible design allows you to choose which side faces outward based on your preference, and both methods provide secure attachment without damaging your laptop.
What does the 2H hardness rating mean for durability?
The 2H hardness rating indicates the surface hardness of the privacy screen filter on the pencil hardness scale, where 2H represents a moderately hard surface that provides good scratch resistance. This rating means the filter can withstand normal cleaning, accidental contact with objects, and everyday use without significant scratching or damage. Combined with the scratch-resistant and glare-resistant durability features, this ensures long-term optical clarity.
Is this privacy screen filter reversible and what does that mean?
Yes, this privacy screen filter is reversible, meaning either side can face outward during installation. This design provides flexibility in how you mount the filter to your laptop and allows you to choose which surface characteristics you prefer facing outward. The reversible feature also means you can easily clean both sides and switch orientation if needed without affecting the privacy or blue light reduction functionality.
