Fellowes PrivaScreen™ Blackout Privacy Filter – 24" Wide

The Fellowes PrivaScreen™ Blackout Privacy Filter is a must-have privacy solution for anyone who works with confidential information on a laptop or flat-panel monitor. Designed specifically for 24" screens, this advanced privacy filter protects sensitive data from wandering eyes while preserving clear, front-on visibility for the user. It’s a discreet, durable accessory that blends seamlessly with your setup—giving you greater control over who can see your screen and when. If you work in open offices, shared spaces, or coffee shops, this Blackout Privacy Filter helps you maintain data security without compromising productivity or display quality.

• Enhanced privacy for sensitive data: The Blackout Privacy Filter narrows the viewing angle so only someone directly in front of the screen can see what's on display, reducing the risk of shoulder surfers in busy environments.
• Clear front-on visibility: While privacy is protected from the sides, the image remains crisp and easy to read when viewed straight on, making it ideal for reading documents, coding, and data entry without distraction.
• Anti-glare, front-end comfort: The matte, anti-glare coating minimizes reflections and glare from overhead lighting, helping to reduce eye strain during long work sessions.
• Simple, tool-free installation: The filter is designed for quick setup on most 24" displays, with a clean attachment that won’t interfere with screen cleaning or daily use.
• Durable, long-lasting protection: Built with a rugged, scratch-resistant surface that resists daily wear, keeps its optical clarity, and provides lasting privacy without compromising screen brightness.

How to install Fellowes PrivaScreen Blackout Privacy Filter

Installing your 24" privacy filter is straightforward and quick, enabling you to secure your screen in minutes. Follow these general steps to ensure optimal privacy and performance:

• Prepare the screen: Gently wipe the monitor surface with a lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. A clean surface helps the filter adhere properly and prevents streaks.
• Align the filter: Hold the privacy filter up to the screen and align it so that the display area is fully covered without covering any sensors or webcam hardware, if present.
• Attach mounting mechanism: Use the included mounting tabs, frames, or adhesive strips designed for 24" displays. Securely attach them to the top and bottom edges or sides as provided, ensuring the filter sits flush against the screen.
• Check alignment and finish: Gently press around the edges to secure the enclosure and verify that the filter sits evenly and does not obstruct screen corners or access ports.
• Test visibility and privacy: Power on the screen and verify that the display remains crisp from the front while remaining unreadable from the sides. Make any small adjustments if necessary for perfect alignment.
