User Manual
FAQ
What size laptop does this privacy screen fit?
The Kensington FP156W9 privacy screen is designed specifically for 15.6" widescreen notebooks with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The precise dimensions of 15.6" (396.24 mm) ensure proper coverage without obstructing bezels or controls. It fits most standard 15.6" laptop displays from major manufacturers.
How does the privacy screen limit viewing angles?
The privacy screen uses limited viewing angle technology that restricts visibility to approximately +/- 30° from center. This means anyone viewing the screen from the sides beyond this angle cannot see the display content clearly, effectively preventing shoulder surfing and unauthorized viewing of sensitive information while maintaining perfect clarity for the primary user directly in front.
Can I use this privacy screen on a touchscreen laptop?
Yes, the FP156W9 privacy screen maintains full touchscreen compatibility. The design preserves touch sensitivity and responsiveness, allowing you to use touch gestures, stylus input, and finger navigation without interference. The screen attachment methods work with touchscreen surfaces without compromising functionality.
What installation methods are included?
The privacy screen includes two installation options: frameless tab holders that clip onto the laptop bezel and double-sided tape for adhesive mounting. The tab holders provide a non-permanent attachment that can be removed and repositioned, while the double-sided tape offers a more secure fixed installation. Both methods maintain the reversible functionality of the screen.
What does the reversible matte-to-glossy feature mean?
The reversible design allows you to flip the privacy screen to choose between matte and glossy viewing surfaces. The matte side reduces reflections and glare in bright environments, while the glossy side enhances color vibrancy and contrast in controlled lighting. This flexibility lets you adapt to different working conditions and personal preferences.
Is this privacy screen TAA compliant?
Yes, the Kensington FP156W9 privacy screen is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. This certification makes it suitable for government procurement, educational institutions, and other organizations requiring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. The TAA compliance ensures the product meets specific manufacturing and sourcing requirements for public sector purchases.
