Know before you buy
This filter is designed for 19.5-inch monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio and measures 17.44 inches wide by 9.45 inches high. Before purchasing, measure your screen's viewable area diagonally and verify your monitor's dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
The filter has two distinct finishes: one side is matte to reduce glare and fingerprints, while the other is high-gloss for sharper, more vibrant colors. You can choose the side that best suits your lighting conditions and visual preferences.
Yes, the filter is engineered to block up to 51% of blue light, which can help reduce digital eye strain during long work sessions. Additionally, the matte side helps minimize distracting reflections from overhead lights or windows.
Installation is straightforward and flexible. The package includes both residue-free adhesive strips for a permanent, flush fit and side mounting tabs if you prefer to slide the filter on and off your monitor as needed.
The filter provides a 60-degree viewing angle, meaning the screen will appear blacked out to anyone viewing from the sides beyond that range. It is effective for protecting sensitive data from prying eyes in open offices or public spaces.
