Product Information

Full details

This guide is for 16" MacBook Pro (2021/2023) users seeking to protect sensitive information from visual hacking. The StarTech.com privacy screen offers a significant benefit by limiting viewing angles to a narrow field, safeguarding your data in public or shared spaces. A minor caveat is the potential for slight darkening of the screen. This filter is a reversible, frameless privacy screen that reduces glare, enhances clarity, and blocks blue light, ensuring both security and user comfort.

Troubleshooting

Privacy screen is not adhering properly

Ensure the MacBook screen is clean and free of dust before applying adhesive strips. Re-apply strips, ensuring they are firmly pressed down.

Bubbles appear after installation

Carefully lift the affected edge of the privacy screen and reapply, smoothing out the bubble as you go. This may require re-attaching the adhesive strips.

Screen appears too dark

This is a normal effect of privacy filters. Adjust your MacBook's screen brightness to compensate. Consider using the glossy side in lower light conditions if preferred.

Webcam is obstructed

Ensure the privacy screen is correctly aligned with the top edge of the display, utilizing the pre-cut webcam cutout.
