StarTech.com 24-inch 16:10 Gold Monitor Privacy Screen

Protect confidential information and maintain focus in busy workspaces with the StarTech.com 24-inch 16:10 Gold Monitor Privacy Screen. This reversible privacy filter is purpose-built for 24-inch monitors that use a 16:10 aspect ratio, delivering a precise fit, enhanced privacy, and a touch of elegance with a subtle gold-accent frame. Designed for professionals, students, and teams who need to guard sensitive data without sacrificing screen clarity, this privacy screen blends strong security features with practical-day convenience. Whether you’re in an open-plan office, a shared co-working space, or a high-traffic public area, this 24-inch privacy solution helps keep your information out of sight from side angles while preserving image quality for the user directly in front of the monitor.

• Strategic privacy at a glance: The StarTech.com 24-inch privacy screen uses a precision privacy filter that restricts viewing angles to approximately ±30 degrees. This means that colleagues or passersby see a darkened, blurred display when viewing the screen from the side, while the person directly in front enjoys crisp, full-color content. The result is enhanced confidentiality for sensitive emails, financial dashboards, design briefs, and other confidential materials, even in bustling environments.
• Reversible, dual-sided design with enhanced privacy: This filter is engineered to be reversible, offering two privacy configurations in one compact shield. Use the enhanced privacy side when you need maximum discretion during critical tasks, or flip to the standard privacy side for everyday use. The reversible design gives you flexibility without needing to swap hardware or purchase multiple filters, making it ideal for shared devices in classrooms, labs, or front-desk setups.
• Premium materials and glare reduction for comfortable viewing: Crafted from high-quality PET film with an anti-glare coating, the privacy screen minimizes reflections, reduces eye strain, and preserves legibility in bright office lighting or natural daylight. The gold-accent frame adds a touch of sophistication to your workstation while ensuring a precise fit around the screen’s edges. Expect clear image reproduction, reduced glare, and a more comfortable viewing experience across long work sessions.
• Easy, tool-free installation and versatility: This privacy shield is designed for quick setup with minimal effort. It attaches securely and can be installed or removed without tools, making it simple to switch between privacy configurations or transfer the shield between different devices. The filter sits flush with the screen without obstructing webcam areas on most 24-inch monitors, and its slim profile keeps the overall look clean and professional on your desk.
• Durable protection and practical maintenance: Beyond privacy, the screen protector offers a layer of defense against scratches, smudges, and fingerprints. It’s easy to clean with a microfiber cloth and gentle cleaners, helping your monitor maintain a pristine appearance. The combination of durable filtration and reversible design means you can rely on reliable privacy and screen clarity for longer periods, reducing the need for frequent replacements in high-traffic environments.
