Product Features
Technical Overview
This privacy screen employs advanced optical technology that limits the viewing angle to approximately 30 degrees on either side of center. This narrow viewing cone ensures that only the person directly in front of the monitor can see the screen content clearly, while those viewing from side angles see only a darkened or obscured display.
The filter incorporates blue light reduction technology that can decrease harmful blue light emissions by up to 30%, helping to reduce digital eye strain during prolonged computer use. The widescreen design matches the 16:9 aspect ratio of modern monitors, and the landscape orientation ensures proper alignment with standard monitor setups.

Deployment / Use Cases
The Kensington FP280W9 privacy screen is particularly valuable in open office environments, financial institutions, healthcare facilities, and government offices where visual privacy is essential for compliance and security.

The blue light reduction feature makes it suitable for environments where users spend extended periods working at computers, helping to minimize eye fatigue and improve comfort.
Financial and Legal Applications

FAQ
What size monitor is the Kensington FP280W9 designed for?
The FP280W9 is specifically designed for 28-inch widescreen LCD monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The filter measures 24.5 inches wide by 13.5 inches high to provide complete coverage for monitors of this size. It's important to match the filter size precisely to your monitor dimensions for optimal privacy and fit.
How does the privacy screen protect my information?
The privacy screen uses micro-louver technology that limits the viewing angle to approximately 30 degrees on either side of center. This means only someone sitting directly in front of the monitor can see the screen content clearly. Anyone viewing from side angles will see a darkened or obscured display, effectively hiding sensitive information from casual observers.
What are the benefits of the reversible glossy/matte design?
The reversible design provides flexibility for different lighting conditions and user preferences. The glossy side offers vibrant color reproduction and maximum brightness in controlled lighting environments. The matte side reduces reflections and glare in brightly lit offices or near windows. You can switch between surfaces based on your current needs without purchasing separate filters.
How is the privacy screen installed on my monitor?
Installation is straightforward using the included frameless tab holders that attach securely to the monitor bezel without tools or permanent modification. For temporary setups or monitors with unusual bezel designs, double-sided tape provides an alternative mounting method. Both options allow for easy removal and repositioning as needed.
Does this filter help reduce eye strain during extended computer use?
Yes, the FP280W9 includes blue light reduction technology that can decrease harmful blue light emissions by up to 30%. Combined with the anti-glare coating that minimizes reflections, these features help reduce digital eye strain during prolonged viewing sessions. The privacy screen also encourages proper viewing posture by requiring users to sit directly in front of the monitor.
What maintenance does the privacy screen require?
Maintenance is minimal. The included cleaning cloth allows for gentle wiping of the surface to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the anti-glare coating. The filter itself protects your monitor screen from scratches and damage, reducing the need for frequent monitor cleaning.
What screen size is listed?
It features a display specification of 28" (711.20 mm), giving you clear visuals for work and media use.
