FAQ
What size laptop does this privacy screen fit?
This Targus privacy screen is designed specifically for 14" widescreen laptops with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The exact dimensions are 14" (355.60 mm) diagonal, matching standard 14" widescreen notebook displays. It's optimized for LCD screens in landscape orientation commonly found on business and professional laptops.
How does the privacy feature work?
The privacy screen uses a micro-louver technology that limits the viewing angle to approximately 30° from either side of the display. This means only someone sitting directly in front of the screen can see the content clearly, while viewers from the sides see a darkened or obscured image. This protects sensitive information from shoulder surfing in open office environments or public spaces.
Does this screen reduce blue light?
Yes, the Targus 4Vu Privacy Screen reduces exposure to blue light by nearly 40%. This helps minimize digital eye strain during extended computer use, particularly important for professionals who spend long hours working on their laptops. The blue light reduction is integrated into the screen's protective layers without compromising display clarity or color accuracy.
What is the DefenseGuard™ Antimicrobial Protection?
DefenseGuard™ is Targus's antimicrobial technology that creates a cleaner surface by continuously working to prevent the growth of microorganisms. This protection is built into the privacy screen and remains active throughout the product's life, helping to maintain a more hygienic computing environment. It's particularly valuable in shared workspaces or for users concerned about surface cleanliness.
Can I still use touch screen functions with this privacy screen installed?
Yes, this privacy screen maintains full touch compatibility. The protective layer is designed to preserve the sensitivity and responsiveness of touch screens, allowing you to use all touch gestures and functions normally. This makes it suitable for 2-in-1 laptops, convertible devices, and any notebook with touch screen capabilities.
How is the privacy screen attached to the laptop?
Targus provides four attachment methods for flexible installation: under-bezel tabs, slide tabs, adhesive strips, and a hinge adhesive that allows you to quickly flip the screen over when not needed. The adhesive lift tab included in the package helps with positioning and removal. This variety of options ensures compatibility with different laptop bezel designs and user preferences for temporary or permanent installation.
