How to install StarTech.com 24-inch Monitor Privacy Screen

• Prepare your workspace by turning off the monitor and cleaning the top edge with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust and oils.

• Attach the silicone bumpers to the designated contact points on the privacy screen to cushion the mount and prevent scratches on the monitor surface.
• Gently hang the filter from the monitor’s top edge, allowing the acrylic shield to rest securely against the display while remaining unobtrusive to your normal viewing area.
• Adjust the screen angle within the ±30° privacy range to achieve your preferred balance between privacy and readability, then confirm the view is clear to you but obscured from the sides.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: How does this privacy screen work?
• A: The screen reduces side viewing angles to protect sensitive information. From directly in front, you see the screen clearly, while observers to the left or right encounter a shaded, blurred view. The ±30° range provides a comfortable balance between privacy and usability for most desk layouts.
• Q: Will it fit all 24" monitors?
• A: It is designed as a universal top-edge hanging solution for most 24" 16:9 monitors. If your monitor has a standard flat top edge and adequate clearance for hanging hardware, it should fit. Curved screens or unusually shaped bezels may affect fit and performance.
• Q: Does the privacy screen affect color accuracy or brightness?
• A: Because the filter is made of clear acrylic with a privacy layer, you may notice a slight reduction in brightness or a minor shift in perceived color when the filter is in place. The effect is typically minimal for most tasks, and the privacy benefit often outweighs this small change.
• Q: Is installation permanent?
• A: No. The hanging design uses silicone bumpers and requires no adhesives or permanent modifications. It can be removed and reattached as needed without leaving residue or damaging the monitor.
• Q: Can I use this on a multi-monitor setup?
• A: Yes, as long as each monitor has an unobstructed top edge and is compatible with the hanging mechanism, you can use individual privacy screens on multiple displays to tailor privacy across a workstation.
• Q: Is it durable enough for daily office use?
• A: The acrylic material is designed for regular use, and the silicone bumpers help protect both the screen and monitor during installation and daily adjustments. While not indestructible, it should withstand typical office handling with proper care.
