User Manual
FAQ
What monitor size and aspect ratio does this privacy screen support?
The Kensington FP190 is specifically designed for 19-inch LCD monitors with a 5:4 aspect ratio. The exact dimensions are 19" (482.60 mm) diagonal, matching standard monitors of this size and format. It will not properly fit widescreen monitors or displays with different aspect ratios.
How does the privacy screen limit viewing angles?
The filter uses micro-louver technology to restrict the viewing cone to approximately +/- 30 degrees from center. This means anyone looking from the sides beyond this angle sees a darkened or obscured screen, while the primary user directly in front maintains clear visibility. This effectively prevents visual eavesdropping in open environments.
Can this privacy screen be installed without damaging my monitor?
Yes, installation is non-destructive. The package includes frameless tab holders that attach to the monitor bezel without adhesives, plus double-sided tape for more permanent mounting if preferred. Both methods allow removal without leaving residue or causing damage to the monitor surface.
What are the benefits of the reversible design?
The reversible feature provides both matte and glossy finish options on the same filter. The matte side reduces reflections in brightly lit environments, while the glossy side offers enhanced color vibrancy and contrast in controlled lighting. Users can flip the filter based on their current lighting conditions and visual preferences.
Does this privacy screen help with eye strain?
Yes, it incorporates blue light reduction technology that cuts harmful blue light emissions by up to 30%. Combined with the anti-reflective coating that minimizes glare, these features help reduce eye fatigue during extended computer use. The privacy function itself also reduces visual distractions from peripheral movement.
What warranty and compliance certifications come with this product?
Kensington provides a 2-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The product is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for government and institutional procurement where compliance is required. It's manufactured in Korea with quality controls ensuring consistent performance.
