• Privacy you can trust: Engineered with advanced blackout technology, this privacy filter dramatically reduces side viewing angles. When coworkers pass by or colleagues lean in during meetings, your screen remains private, keeping sensitive data secure and minimizing the risk of accidental exposure. This is especially valuable in environments where confidential information is handled daily, such as financial planning, medical records, or client communications.
• Designed for 19-inch, 5:4 displays: The PrivaScreen Blackout is purpose-built to fit 19" monitors with a 5:4 aspect ratio, ensuring a precise, snug fit that doesn’t interfere with your bezel or corners. The tailored dimensions maintain full screen usability while preserving optimal privacy performance, so your content looks sharp, legible, and true-to-life from the front while staying hidden from the sides.
• Clarity meets privacy: You shouldn’t have to choose between privacy and readability. This filter is designed to preserve text clarity and high-contrast visuals, delivering clean fonts, crisp UI elements, and accurate on-screen colors from a direct angle. While privacy is enhanced, your documents, spreadsheets, emails, and code remain easy to read—reducing eye strain and making long sessions more comfortable.
• Hassle-free installation and removal: The PrivaScreen Blackout is built for quick, tool-free setup. Its simple mounting system grips the screen securely, and you can attach or remove the filter in seconds without rearranging your workspace. This makes it ideal for hot-desking, shared workstations, or environments where privacy needs fluctuate throughout the day.
• Durable, easy to maintain: Constructed with a resilient, fingerprint-resistant surface and an anti-smudge finish, the filter stays looking professional after daily use. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth restores brightness and clarity in moments, keeping your privacy shield pristine while standing up to the rigors of busy workdays.

How to Install Fellowes PrivaScreen Blackout Privacy Filter - 19.0"

To install the Fellowes PrivaScreen Blackout Privacy Filter, start with a clean, dry screen surface. Turn off your monitor and wipe the display gently to remove dust and smudges. Align the privacy filter so that its edges match the top, bottom, and sides of your monitor—this ensures the filter sits flush and doesn’t interfere with screen controls or adapters. Engage the built-in clip-on mounting system by placing the filter onto the screen and applying light, even pressure along the edges until you hear or feel clips secure themselves onto the bezel. Confirm the fit by lightly pressing near each corner and checking that the filter remains stable during slight hand movements. Finally, power on your monitor and test privacy by viewing from a side angle to ensure the blackout effect is active. If you need to remove the filter, gently detach the clips in a controlled, even manner and store the filter in a protective sleeve or safe place until you’re ready to reattach it. Always avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning; use a microfiber cloth or a soft, lint-free wipe for best results.

Pro tip: If your workstation rotates between private and shared use, keep the filter within easy reach so you can quickly deploy it during sensitive tasks and remove it for full-screen work or demonstrations. The lightweight construction means it won’t weigh down the top edge of your monitor, preserving an unobtrusive appearance on your desk while delivering strong privacy protection whenever you need it.
