FAQ
What MacBook Pro models is this privacy screen compatible with?
This privacy screen is specifically designed for 14-inch MacBook Pro models released in 2021 and 2023. It fits these laptops precisely to ensure full coverage and optimal performance without interfering with the display or casing.
How does the blue light reduction feature work?
The filter incorporates a specialized layer that reduces blue light emission by 51%. This helps decrease digital eye strain during prolonged use, making it easier to work for extended periods without discomfort, especially in low-light environments.
Can I switch between matte and glossy finishes?
Yes, the privacy screen is reversible, allowing you to choose between a matte side for reduced glare in bright conditions or a glossy side for enhanced color vibrancy in controlled lighting. This flexibility lets you adapt the screen to different work environments.

Installation is straightforward using the included adhesive strips, which attach securely to the laptop display without leaving residue. The filter can be removed cleanly, and the quick-start guide provides step-by-step instructions for proper application and maintenance.
How effective is the limited viewing angle for privacy?
The limited viewing angle restricts visibility to approximately 30 degrees from the center, meaning only someone directly in front of the screen can see the content clearly. This effectively prevents shoulder surfing and protects sensitive information in public or shared spaces.
