Technical specifications indicate the Amazon Basics Privacy Screen Filter is an analog microlouver device constructed from a Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) substrate. The internal structure features microscopic vertical slats that restrict the viewing cone to 60 degrees (±30 degrees from center). Material analysis identifies a 3H anti-scratch coating and a thin-film interference coating for blue light spectral shifting. The dimensions are 12.2 inches by 6.87 inches, conforming to the 14-inch 16:9 widescreen standard.
Performance metrics show a luminance reduction of approximately 15-20% due to the density of the louvered layers. The unit is non-magnetic and is secured using clear adhesive strips or bezel-hang tabs. The finish is reversible, offering a glossy surface for high clarity or a matte surface for mitigating overhead light reflections. Forensic user reports suggest that the glossy side may increase perceived glare in specific high-lux environments despite the anti-glare coating.
- Field of vision: 30° blackout threshold.
- Coating hardness: 3H.
- Aspect ratio: 16:9.
Operational data indicates that frequent removal can degrade the structural integrity of the adhesive strips. Additionally, the microlouver pattern may induce a Moiré effect on ultra-high DPI (4K) panels. The filter provides a fixed-placement security layer for environments where rapid removal is not a primary requirement.
Users who require frequent detachment for collaborative sessions may prefer the SightPro Magnetic 14-inch Filter which utilizes a toolless magnetic strip.
This filter is an architectural standard within the privacy screens classification.
