Product Information
Full details
The Targus Privacy Screen is designed for professionals and individuals who need to protect sensitive information on their 22-inch (16:10) desktop monitors. Its key benefit is preventing shoulder surfing and unwanted viewing, while also reducing eye strain with a blue light filter. A minor caveat is the potential for slight color distortion on very high-resolution displays, though this is often mitigated by the matte side. This screen protector is compatible with touch screens and offers multiple attachment methods for ease of use.

FAQs
What is the aspect ratio of this privacy screen?
This privacy screen is designed for a 16:10 aspect ratio.
Can I use this on a different screen size?
No, this specific model is designed for 22-inch (16:10) monitors. Using it on a different size may result in improper fit and reduced effectiveness.
Does the blue light filter affect screen color?
The blue light filter can slightly alter color perception, often making whites appear warmer. The reversible design allows you to use the shiny side for truer colors if desired, though this may reduce glare protection.
How do I clean the privacy screen?
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. A slightly damp cloth can be used for tougher smudges, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is the screen permanent?
No, the screen is designed to be easily applied and removed, with multiple attachment options including reusable adhesive strips.
Will this protect my screen from scratches?
Yes, the privacy screen features scratch-resistant properties to protect your monitor from minor abrasions and scuffs.
Is this privacy screen compatible with dual monitor setups?
Yes, it is compatible with dual screen setups as long as each monitor is a 22" (16:10) display.
Troubleshooting
Screen not adhering properly
Ensure the monitor screen and the privacy filter are clean and free of dust. Re-apply using the chosen attachment method, ensuring the adhesive strips or tabs are firmly pressed.
Bubbles or creases visible after application
Carefully peel back the affected section of the privacy screen and reapply, smoothing out the bubble or crease as you go. If using adhesive strips, ensure they are applied evenly.
Reduced screen brightness
This is a common characteristic of privacy filters. Try increasing your monitor's brightness setting. For optimal viewing, consider using the shiny side in low-light conditions if privacy is less critical.
Touchscreen functionality is inconsistent
Re-apply the screen, ensuring it is perfectly flat against the display. Clean the monitor and the filter. If the issue persists, test the touchscreen without the filter to confirm it's not a monitor issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Choose one of the three attachment methods:
- Under-Bezel Tabs: Slide the tabs under the monitor's bezel for a secure fit.
