Product Information

Full details

The Kantek SVL17.0 is a frameless display privacy filter designed for 17-inch LCD monitors and laptops. It's ideal for professionals who need to protect sensitive on-screen data from prying eyes in shared workspaces or public areas. Its micro-louver technology narrows the viewing angle, making the screen appear black from the sides, while also reducing glare and increasing contrast to minimize eye strain. A potential caveat is that the screen may appear slightly dimmer due to the privacy overlay.

FAQs

What is the maximum screen size this filter supports?

This filter is designed for a maximum screen size of 43.2 cm (17 inches).

Can this filter be used on touchscreens?

While it can be applied to LCD screens, the filter's primary design is for privacy and glare reduction, not touch interaction. Its use on touchscreens may affect touch sensitivity.

How do I remove the filter if needed?

Gently peel the filter away from the screen. The mounting tabs are designed to be removable without damaging the monitor surface.

Does the filter reduce blue light?

The product description does not explicitly mention blue light reduction. Its primary functions are privacy, glare reduction, and contrast enhancement.

Is this filter reversible?

The filter is designed to be applied on one side for optimal privacy and glare reduction. It is not intended to be used reversibly.

Can I close my laptop with the filter attached?

Yes, the filter is designed to stay on and allow you to close your laptop or notebook without needing to remove it.

What is included with the filter?

The filter comes with a soft microfiber cleaning cloth and mounting tabs for installation.

Troubleshooting

Filter is not adhering properly

Ensure the monitor screen is clean and dry before applying the mounting tabs. Press the tabs firmly onto both the filter and the monitor bezel.

Screen appears too dim

Adjust your monitor's brightness settings. Privacy filters inherently reduce brightness slightly; increasing your monitor's brightness can compensate.

Bubbles or dust under the filter

Carefully remove the filter, clean both the filter and the screen with the microfiber cloth, and reapply, ensuring no dust particles are present.

Difficulty seeing the screen clearly

Ensure you are positioned directly in front of the screen. The privacy effect is strongest at wider angles. Also, check if glare reduction is making the image appear less sharp; adjust monitor settings if needed.

Pros and Cons

  • Enhances data privacy by limiting viewing angles.
  • Reduces eye strain through glare reduction and contrast enhancement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This filter is designed for 17-inch (43.2 cm) LCD monitors and notebooks with a standard screen format. It is a frameless display privacy filter.

Setup:

  1. Clean your monitor screen thoroughly using a soft, lint-free cloth. Ensure there is no dust or smudges.
  2. Carefully align the privacy filter with the edges of your monitor screen.
  3. Use the included mounting tabs to secure the filter in place. Peel off the adhesive backing from the tabs and press them firmly onto the designated areas on the filter and the monitor bezel.
  4. The filter can be left on when the laptop or notebook is closed.

Care:

  • To clean the filter, use the provided microfiber cloth. If more thorough cleaning is needed, slightly dampen the cloth with water.

  • Store the filter in a safe place when not in use, ideally in its original packaging or a protective sleeve.
