A screen that is mostly readable from the front
Working on a train, in a café or in an open-plan office also means showing your screen to your neighbours. This magnetic privacy screen for MacBook narrows the angle from which the screen can be read: from the front the image stays visible; seen from the side, it looks darkened.
It relies on a micro-louver principle that narrows the viewing angle. The effect depends on position, brightness and distance: the filter does not make the screen invisible, it makes it harder to read from the side.
The attachment is magnetic: the filter goes on and comes off easily. You can therefore remove it when you share your screen with a colleague, then put it back when you go back to working in public.
The filter is thin: you place it in front of the screen when you need it, then take it off and store it flat.
Six options are available: MacBook Air 13.3 inch, 13.6 inch and 15.3 inch, then MacBook Pro 13.3 inch, 14.2 inch and 16.2 inch. Check your MacBook's screen size before ordering.
The visuals on this page are illustrations made to present the filter: they do not show the actual product. This page covers the filter only, the laptop is not included.
Take the time to check the size of your device, then choose the option that matches your MacBook. The rest is simple: you place the filter, and you remove it when you no longer need it.
