Privacy Screen Filter TARGUS Magnetic Privacy Screen 16" Widescreen (16:10) ASM160W1GL

The Targus Magnetic Privacy Screen 16'' Widescreen (16:10) is a removable privacy filter designed for 16-inch widescreen displays with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It attaches magnetically to compatible laptop bezels or frames, reducing visible viewing angles to protect on-screen information from side glances while preserving clarity for the person directly in front of the display. The filter also provides a physical layer that helps reduce glare and offers light abrasion resistance for the display surface.

Advantages

The magnetic attachment system enables quick install and removal without adhesive residue, and the tailored dimensions for 16:10 widescreen displays ensure an accurate fit and consistent privacy effect. The micro-louver privacy technology narrows the field of view to prevent visual eavesdropping while maintaining a clear image for the primary user. The screen is lightweight, slim, and compatible with glossy and matte panels, helping to reduce reflections and deliver a discreet, professional appearance.

How to use

Align the magnetic privacy screen to the laptop display edges and let the magnetic frame secure it in place. Ensure the filter covers the visible display area and that the laptop lid is opened to the typical working angle to achieve the intended privacy effect. To remove, gently lift one edge of the filter and detach the magnetic frame; store the filter in its protective sleeve or pouch when not in use. Clean the filter surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and a screen-safe cleaner if needed, avoiding abrasive materials.

Usage recommendations

For optimal privacy performance, use the magnetic screen with the laptop positioned at typical working distance and angle; this preserves on-axis clarity while restricting lateral viewing. Avoid placing the device at extreme tilt angles that may reduce the privacy effect. When traveling, store the filter in its protective sleeve to prevent scratches and keep the magnetic frame free from metal debris.
