## **About StarTech 161LM-PRIVACY-SCREEN**

The **StarTech 161LM-PRIVACY-SCREEN** is a reversible magnetic privacy filter designed for compatible **16-inch, 16:10 laptop displays**. It helps protect sensitive information by limiting side visibility while maintaining a clear viewing area for the person directly in front of the screen.

The filter provides two usable surfaces. The **matte side** helps reduce glare in bright working environments, while the **high-gloss side** helps preserve display colour vibrancy. Both sides feature a fingerprint-resistant coating.

Its magnetic mounting system makes it convenient to remove the filter when sharing content or switching between finishes. The universal design includes a large cutout intended to avoid obstructing the webcam and surrounding sensors.
