How does the blue light reduction feature work?
The privacy screen reduces 40% - 51% of blue light emissions in the 380nm - 480nm wavelength range. This feature helps minimize digital eye strain symptoms such as headaches, dry eyes, and blurred vision, improving overall visual comfort during extended screen use.
What installation methods are available for this privacy screen?
