FAQ
What laptops are compatible with this privacy screen filter?
This privacy screen is specifically designed for laptops with 16-inch displays and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It fits most modern notebooks within this size category, including those with slim or bezel-less designs. The included mounting tabs and adhesive strips accommodate various bezel configurations, ensuring a secure fit without obstructing webcams, sensors, or lid closure.
How does the Microlouver technology protect my screen?
Microlouver technology uses microscopic louvers embedded in the filter to narrow the viewing angle to approximately ±30 degrees. This means the screen content is only clearly visible to someone directly in front of the display, while side views appear darkened or obscured. It effectively prevents visual eavesdropping in open offices, cafes, or during travel without blocking essential features like webcams.
Can I use this filter on a touchscreen laptop?
Yes, this privacy screen is fully compatible with touchscreen laptops. Its ultra-thin profile (0.50 mm) preserves touch sensitivity and responsiveness, allowing you to interact with your display normally. The filter does not interfere with multi-touch gestures or stylus input, making it suitable for devices used for drawing, presentations, or interactive applications.
How does the flip-over feature work?
The flip-over feature allows you to quickly rotate the privacy filter to the back of your laptop screen when you need to share content. This is achieved using the included flip-up tabs, which let you temporarily move the filter out of the way without uninstalling it. It provides flexibility for switching between private work and collaborative sessions in seconds.
Does this filter reduce blue light emissions?
Yes, this privacy screen includes blue light reduction technology. Independent third-party testing has verified it blocks 47% of blue light in the 380-450 nm wavelength range. This helps reduce eye strain and fatigue during prolonged use, particularly in low-light environments or during evening work sessions, while maintaining color accuracy and display clarity.
What installation methods are included?
The package includes multiple installation options to suit different laptop designs: adhesive strips for permanent attachment, side mounting tabs for non-adhesive installation, and flip-over tabs for the flip-over functionality. This versatility ensures compatibility with bezel-less displays, slim bezels, and various laptop models, allowing you to choose the method that best fits your device and usage preferences.
