The screen is exclusively compatible with Apple MacBook Pro devices of these specific years and size.
What are the main features of this privacy screen filter?
The StarTech.com privacy screen filter offers several key features: a limited viewing angle of 60 degrees (+/- 30 degrees from center), blue light reduction up to 51% in the 380nm-480nm wavelength range, and a reversible design with both matte and glossy sides.

How does the privacy protection work?
The privacy filter darkens the MacBook's screen when viewed from side angles while maintaining a clear view within a 60-degree viewing angle (±30 degrees from center). This helps prevent visual eavesdropping and protects confidential data from unwanted viewers while allowing the primary user to see the screen clearly from a direct viewing position.
What comes in the package?
