• Superior privacy from side angles: The Screen Privacy Filter limits viewing angles to approximately ±30 degrees, ensuring that sensitive information remains visible only to the person directly in front of the monitor.

This feature supports healthier, more comfortable screen time during extended work sessions, streaming, or programming tasks.

This balance preserves essential color fidelity where it matters most while protecting sensitive information from neighboring viewers.
• Designed for 23.6-inch, 16:9 monitors with easy installation: This privacy filter is tailored to standard 23.6" diagonal displays in a 16:9 format, providing a seamless fit with no major changes to your display setup.

Frequently asked questions

• Will the privacy filter affect color accuracy or brightness? The privacy filter is designed to preserve central image clarity while reducing side visibility. It may cause a slight, perceptible decrease in brightness near the edges and a mild shift in perceived brightness due to the privacy layer. However, the center of the screen remains vibrant, and color accuracy is maintained for most everyday tasks. If you work in color-critical applications, consider calibrating your display after installation for best results.
• Does it reduce glare and reflections? Yes. The anti-glare matte finish significantly reduces reflections from overhead lighting, windows, and other bright sources, improving readability and reducing eye strain during long work sessions.
• Is this privacy filter easy to remove? Absolutely. The StarTech privacy filter is designed for quick, tool-free removal. Simply lift from one edge and carefully peel it off the screen when privacy is no longer needed, then store it in its protective sleeve to prevent damage.
• Can I use this filter with a touchscreen monitor? The privacy filter is intended to protect privacy on standard LCD/LED displays. It does not interfere with touch functionality because it sits on the screen surface rather than below it. Always check compatibility with your specific touchscreen model before purchase.
• How should I clean the privacy filter? Use a microfiber cloth to wipe away fingerprints and dust. If needed, use a small amount of water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution on the cloth—never spray liquids directly onto the screen or filter. Allow to dry completely before reattaching.
• Will it fit all 23.6-inch monitors? This privacy filter is designed for most 23.6" diagonal monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. If your display dimensions differ significantly from standard 23.6" panels, measure diagonally and compare with the filter’s protective area to ensure proper fit and full coverage.
