Product Features
Product Overview
The Kensington EQ215A169A privacy screen filter is a specialized accessory designed for 21.5" (546.10 mm) widescreen LCD monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It integrates privacy, glare reduction, and blue light filtering into a single durable panel that mounts directly onto compatible displays.
This filter uses a limited viewing angle technology that narrows the field of vision to ±30°, ensuring sensitive on-screen information remains confidential from side glances. The reversible design offers both matte and glossy viewing options, allowing users to choose between reduced reflections and enhanced color vibrancy based on their workspace lighting and personal preference.

Technical Overview
Engineered with a 2H surface hardness, the filter provides scratch resistance while maintaining optical clarity. The anti-reflective coating minimizes glare from overhead lighting or windows, reducing eye strain during extended use. Blue light reduction technology helps ease visual discomfort and may support healthier sleep patterns by filtering high-energy visible light.
Compatibility extends to touch-enabled monitors, allowing full functionality without interference. The widescreen format ensures proper fit across modern LCD displays, and the product is constructed from durable plastic that resists fingerprints and everyday wear.

FAQ
What monitor size and aspect ratio does this privacy screen filter support?
The Kensington EQ215A169A is designed specifically for 21.5" (546.10 mm) widescreen LCD monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This ensures a precise fit that covers the entire display area without obstructing the screen edges or affecting touch functionality.
How does the privacy feature work on this filter?
The filter uses a limited viewing angle technology that narrows the visible field to ±30° from the center. This means only someone directly in front of the screen can see the content clearly, while viewers from the sides see a darkened or obscured image, effectively preventing shoulder surfing and enhancing data confidentiality.
Can I use this filter on a touchscreen monitor?
Yes, the filter is fully touch compatible. It allows normal touch interaction without interference, making it suitable for interactive kiosks, point-of-sale systems, creative tablets, or any touch-enabled LCD display within the specified size and aspect ratio.
What are the benefits of the reversible matte and glossy options?
The reversible design lets you choose between a matte finish, which reduces reflections and glare in brightly lit environments, and a glossy finish, which can enhance color vibrancy and contrast in controlled lighting. This flexibility allows you to adapt the viewing experience to your workspace conditions and personal preference.
How is the filter attached to the monitor?
Installation is flexible: use the included frameless tab holders for a quick, non-permanent mount that allows easy removal, or apply the provided double-sided tape for a cleaner, permanent attachment that sits flush with the monitor bezel. Both methods ensure secure placement without damaging the screen.
What durability and warranty does this product offer?
The filter features a scratch-resistant 2H hardness surface, along with glare and fingerprint resistance, ensuring long-term durability under daily use. It is backed by a 2-year limited warranty from Kensington, covering defects in materials and workmanship for reliable performance and customer support.
