Product Features
Technical Overview
This privacy screen filter is technically specified for landscape-oriented widescreen monitors up to 22 inches diagonally with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It uses a framed microlouver film that limits lateral visibility to a +/- 30-degree cone, ensuring that only users directly in front of the screen can view content clearly. The blue light reduction feature actively filters light in the 380-480 nanometer range, which is associated with digital eye fatigue, without significantly dimming the display.
Constructed from optical-grade acrylic, the filter measures 12.8 inches wide by 19.70 inches long with a slim 0.7-inch height, and weighs approximately 1.09 pounds. It is not compatible with curved screens. The design prioritizes ease of deployment, relying on a hanging mechanism and silicone bumpers for secure, non-marring installation that requires no adhesives or tools.

User Manual
FAQ
What monitor size and aspect ratio does this privacy screen filter support?
The StarTech.com 2261A-PRIVACY-SCREEN is designed specifically for 22-inch monitors with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It measures 12.8 inches wide by 19.70 inches long to fit precisely on landscape-oriented displays of this size. The filter is not compatible with curved screens or monitors with different dimensions or aspect ratios.
How does the microlouver technology protect sensitive information?
Microlouver technology uses a framed film with microscopic louvers that restrict viewing angles to approximately +/- 30 degrees from center. This means only users sitting directly in front of the screen can see content clearly, while anyone viewing from the side sees a darkened or obscured display. This effectively prevents visual eavesdropping in open offices or shared workspaces.
Does the blue light reduction feature dim the monitor display?
No, the blue light reduction filters light in the 380-480 nanometer range without significantly dimming the overall display. This targeted filtration reduces the specific wavelengths associated with digital eye fatigue while maintaining 65% light transmittance for clear screen readability. The balance ensures both eye comfort and practical usability during extended work sessions.
How is the privacy screen installed on the monitor?
Installation is tool-free using the included silicone bumpers and hanging design. The filter hangs from the top bezel of the monitor, secured by silicone bumpers that prevent contact with the display surface. This non-marring approach requires no adhesives, tools, or permanent modifications, allowing for quick attachment and removal as needed.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this privacy screen filter meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products used in federal contracts. It confirms the product is manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries, making it suitable for government agencies, educational institutions, and other organizations with regulated purchasing policies.
What maintenance does the acrylic surface require?
The scratch-resistant and fingerprint-resistant coating minimizes maintenance needs. For cleaning, use the included microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface without harsh chemicals. The acrylic construction maintains its high-gloss finish and optical clarity with minimal care, ensuring long-term performance in daily professional environments.
