StarTech.com Laptop Privacy Screen for 15 inch MacBook Pro & Air - Magnetic Removable Security Filter

The StarTech.com Laptop Privacy Screen is a essential accessory for anyone who values privacy, security, and eye comfort while working on a 15-inch MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Engineered with a magnetic installation system, this removable security filter provides reliable privacy to keep sensitive information out of view in public spaces, from coffee shops to airports. In addition to safeguarding content, the screen delivers blue light reduction and a dual finish option—matte and glossy—so you can tailor glare control and image clarity to your environment. This makes it ideal for professionals, students, and travelers who demand a sleek, low-profile solution that protects data without compromising performance or comfort. Designed to attach quickly and detach just as easily, the StarTech privacy screen is lightweight, durable, and built to withstand daily use while preserving the crispness of your MacBook’s display.

• Magnetic installation for effortless privacy on 15" MacBook Pro & Air — The magnetic mounting system lets you attach and remove the privacy screen in seconds without adhesives or residue. It snaps securely into place along the display’s frame, delivering dependable privacy while maintaining screen clarity. When you’re in a public space, simply attach to enjoy restricted viewing angles; when you’re back at your desk, remove it in a flash to enjoy the full majesty of your display. This feature is ideal for professionals who move between meetings, travel frequently, or work in shared spaces.
• Removable security filter for privacy on the go — The filter is designed to shield confidential information from side angles, ensuring only the person directly in front of the screen can view the content. Whether you’re reviewing sensitive documents, financial data, or personal information, you’ll experience reduced risk of shoulder surfing without sacrificing the usability of your MacBook. The removable design also means you can switch between private viewing and open-display modes in moments, depending on your environment and collaboration needs.
• Blue light reducing technology for eye comfort — Prolonged screen time can lead to eye strain and disrupted sleep cycles. The StarTech privacy screen is engineered to filter blue light, helping reduce glare and fatigue during long work sessions. By lessening high-energy blue wavelengths, this screen supports a more comfortable viewing experience, especially during evening tasks or late-night edits. Protecting your eyes while you work can also contribute to better focus and productivity during extended sessions.
• Matte/Glossy finish option for tailored glare control — The dual finish capability lets you choose between a matte and a glossy surface to suit lighting conditions and personal preference. The matte side minimizes reflections in bright offices or sunlight, while the glossy side preserves color vibrancy for media-rich tasks. This flexibility ensures you can maintain optimal image quality and readability whether you’re editing photos, reviewing slides, or drafting documents, all while keeping privacy intact.
• Lightweight, durable design with easy maintenance — Built to withstand daily use, the privacy filter remains slim and unobtrusive on your MacBook. It’s designed to resist scratches and fingerprints and is easy to wipe clean with a microfiber cloth. The magnetic system reduces wear on the laptop and keeps the screen protected when not in use. This combination of lightweight construction and durability makes it an excellent companion for students, remote workers, and traveling professionals who demand reliability without bulk.

• Q: Does the screen require adhesive or impact the laptop’s finish?

  A: No adhesives are needed. The screen uses a magnetic mounting system that attaches to the lid without leaving adhesive residue or marks on the laptop. This makes it reversible and convenient for travelers or students who frequently switch devices or workspaces.

• Q: Can I use the privacy screen with a laptop case or sleeve?

  A: In most cases, yes, but the fit may vary depending on the case thickness and lid clearance. If your case adds significant thickness near the display, verify there is enough space for the magnets to engage fully and ensure the lid can close without obstruction. If in doubt, test with your specific case before prolonged use.

• Q: How does the blue light reduction benefit me?

  A: The blue light reduction helps mitigate eye strain during extended screen use and can promote better sleep patterns by lowering the exposure to blue wavelengths in the evening. This is especially beneficial for late-night editing, studying, or remote work sessions.

• Q: Does the matte/Glossy finish affect display quality?

  A: The matte finish minimizes reflections and glare, making it easier to view content in bright environments, while the glossy finish preserves color vibrancy for media-rich tasks. You can choose the finish that best fits your lighting conditions and personal preference, without sacrificing privacy or display clarity.
