How does the privacy protection feature work?
The privacy filter uses Microlouver Privacy Technology to limit the viewing angle to 60 degrees (+/- 30 degrees from center). This means the screen appears dark to anyone viewing from the sides while remaining clearly visible to the user directly in front. The screen has a light transmittance of 57.5% to maintain optimal screen brightness while ensuring privacy.
What are the reversible display options available?
The privacy screen features a reversible design with two distinct sides: a matte anti-glare side for environments with high glare, and a high-gloss side that enhances color vibrancy. Users can easily switch between these finishes based on their lighting conditions and display preferences.
How does this privacy screen protect against blue light?
The privacy screen reduces blue light exposure by blocking up to 51% of blue light emissions in the 380nm - 480nm wavelength range. This feature helps reduce digital eye strain symptoms such as headaches, dry eyes, and blurred vision, providing enhanced visual comfort during extended screen use.
What mounting options are included with the privacy screen?
The privacy screen comes with two mounting options: residue-free transparent adhesive strips and side mounting tabs. Both are included in the package, allowing users to choose their preferred installation method. The screen also features a convenient corner cutout for easy removal when needed.
