FAQ
What size laptop is this privacy screen designed for?
This privacy screen is specifically designed for 13.3-inch laptops with 16:9 aspect ratio displays. It supports LCD displays up to 14 inches in diagonal measurement, with physical dimensions of 11.6" wide × 6.7" long to fit most standard laptop screens in this size range. The universal design accommodates various laptop models within these parameters.
How does the magnetic attachment system work?
The privacy screen uses a magnetic attachment system that includes adhesive metal strips. You install these thin strips on your laptop's bezel, then the privacy screen snaps securely onto them magnetically. The combined thickness of the magnetic strips is only 0.04 inches (1.1 mm), and the system allows for quick installation and removal without permanent modification to your laptop.
What is the difference between the matte and glossy sides?
The reversible design offers two distinct surface options. The matte side provides anti-glare properties that reduce reflections in brightly lit environments, making it ideal for offices with overhead lighting or near windows. The glossy side maintains color vibrancy and contrast better, suitable for design work or media consumption where accurate color representation is important. Both sides feature fingerprint-resistant coatings.
How effective is the blue light reduction?
This privacy screen blocks up to 51% of harmful high-energy blue light emitted by laptop displays. This reduction helps minimize digital eye strain during prolonged computer use while maintaining 65% light transmittance for clear screen readability. The blue light filtering works in conjunction with the privacy features to provide comprehensive display protection.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this privacy screen meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products used in federal contracts. This certification ensures the product is manufactured in designated countries as specified by trade agreements, making it suitable for government agencies, educational institutions, and other organizations with TAA compliance requirements for their technology purchases.
Will this privacy screen interfere with my laptop's webcam or sensors?
No, the design specifically avoids interference with integrated cameras, sensors, or other components around the display. The privacy screen attaches to the bezel area and covers only the active display surface, leaving peripheral elements fully functional. The ultra-thin 0.1-inch profile ensures the screen doesn't obstruct any laptop features when installed.
