StarTech 2-way 17.3" Anti-Glare Reversible Privacy Filter, 16:9

The STARTECH 173L-PRIVACY-SCREEN is a specialized filter tailored for 17.3-inch, 16:9 widescreen laptop displays. Its core function is securing sensitive data by restricting the visible viewing angle horizontally to approximately +/- 30 degrees. This narrow viewing cone ensures that confidential information displayed on the screen remains visible only to the user seated directly in front of the device. This makes the product suitable for environments requiring strict data visibility control, such as open offices or public transit areas.

The filter is reversible, providing users with two distinct viewing experiences. One side features a matte finish designed to minimize glare and reflection from ambient light sources. The opposite side provides a glossy surface that enhances clarity and colour vibrancy. Additionally, the filter is engineered to reduce blue light output by up to 51%, a specification intended to mitigate potential eye strain during prolonged screen exposure.

Constructed from durable plastic, the privacy screen also serves as a protective layer, guarding the display against smudges, fingerprints, and minor scratches. The unit measures 383 mm in width by 215 mm in height, matching the specified display size. Users can choose between two non-permanent installation methods: fixed mounting tabs for frequent removal or adhesive strips for a more secure fit.
