Collection: Display Privacy Filters

If you work in an office and want to make sure that your coworkers aren’t peaking over your shoulder, installing a display privacy filter on your computer could be a great option.

This short buying guide will teach you about the most important features to look for when purchasing a display privacy filter.

Features To Look For

Dimensions

You’ll want to make sure that the dimensions of the privacy filter you purchase match the dimensions of your monitor. If you cannot find a filter that exactly matches your monitor’s dimensions you can purchase one that is made to be cut to fit.

Attachment

There are two types of attachments that you’ll find when looking at privacy filters, adhesive and sliding tabs. 

Adhesive attaches directly to your screen and provides you with the best possible user experience. However, they are difficult to remove.

Sliding tabs allow you to quickly remove and reattach your privacy screen in case you need to allow other people to view it temporarily.

Blue Light Protection

One optional feature that may come in handy if you work on your computer most of the day is blue light protection. Some privacy filters have an extra coating that prevents blue light from passing through them. This can help with reducing eye fatigue and improving sleep at the end of the day.
