Privacy Screen Filter StarTech 22" (16:10) for 22-inch Monitor, Anti-Spy Privacy Protection

StarTech 2261A-PRIVACY-SCREEN is an acrylic privacy and blue-light filter designed for 55.88 cm (22") 16:10 monitors. The TAA-compliant screen narrows the viewing angle so that onlookers at the side see a darkened display, while users directly in front retain clear visibility. The filter also incorporates blue-light reduction to help decrease eye strain during extended use. It is intended for use in office, medical, and public environments where screen privacy and improved visual comfort are required.

Advantages

The acrylic construction offers a balance of optical clarity and surface durability while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. By limiting lateral viewing angles, the privacy filter protects sensitive information from unintended viewers without modifying monitor settings. Blue-light reduction is integrated into the same panel, providing a combined privacy and eye-comfort solution. The product is TAA-compliant, making it suitable for procurement in environments that require trade agreement compliance.

Suitable for

• Office workstations displaying confidential data (financial, HR, legal)
• Healthcare environments where patient data privacy is required
• Public-facing terminals and kiosks in retail or government locations
• Shared workspaces and open-plan offices to reduce visual distractions

When it may not be suitable

This privacy filter is tailored for 55.88 cm (22") monitors with a 16:10 aspect ratio; it may not fit displays with different sizes, aspect ratios, or curved screens. Users requiring maximum colour accuracy for professional photo or video editing should verify that the slight blue-light filtering and acrylic surface meet their colour-critical workflow needs.

Key specifications

• Intended display size: 55.88 cm (22")
• Aspect ratio compatibility: 16:10

How to use

Position the acrylic privacy screen over a clean, powered-off monitor and align it to the display edges. Attach the filter according to the monitor attachment method supported (edge-mounted or hanging/suspension style) so the panel sits flat and covers the active display area. Ensure the filter is centered and secured to prevent movement. Clean the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and manufacturer-recommended cleaner; avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratching. Adjust viewing distance and angle to find the balance between privacy effect and personal viewing comfort.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your monitor size is 55.88 cm (22") and uses a 16:10 aspect ratio
• Verify the mounting method of the filter is compatible with your monitor bezel or stand
• Consider whether slight blue-light filtering and an acrylic surface meet your colour accuracy requirements
• Check procurement needs for TAA compliance in your organisation

Usage recommendations

For effective privacy and eye comfort, install the filter at eye level and maintain a normal viewing distance. Regularly clean with a soft microfiber cloth and use the filter in environments where side viewing is likely; remove or adjust for tasks requiring full colour fidelity.
