StarTech 156B6 15.6-inch 16:10 Laptop Privacy Screen Filter

Introduction

The StarTech 156B6 is a flip-over privacy screen filter designed for 15.6-inch laptops with a 16:10 display aspect ratio. It helps protect sensitive on-screen information from nearby viewers while also reducing blue-light exposure during extended computer use.

Part Description

This privacy filter uses microlouver technology to limit clear screen visibility to a 60° viewing angle. Users positioned directly in front of the display can view the screen normally, while people viewing from the side see a darkened image. This makes it useful for protecting confidential documents, customer data, financial information, and business communications in shared or public environments.

The filter blocks up to 47% of blue light, helping reduce exposure to blue wavelengths that may contribute to visual discomfort during long work sessions. Its adhesive-strip mounting method is intended to preserve touchscreen responsiveness, making it appropriate for compatible touch-enabled laptops.

A flip-over design allows the filter to be quickly moved behind the display when privacy is not needed. This is useful when sharing presentations, collaborating with coworkers, or showing content to customers without removing the filter entirely.
