Kensington MP16 Magnetic Privacy Screen for 16-inch MacBook Pro

The Kensington MP16 targets a narrow but important niche: owners of the 16-inch MacBook Pro who need to keep their screens private without wrestling with adhesive or plastic clips. Because Apple builds magnets into the MacBook Pro frame, the filter simply attaches to them, aligning itself against the display and coming off just as easily. That makes it well suited to people who want privacy on the road but a full, unobstructed screen at their desk. It fits the 2021 model year and later, spanning the M1, M2, M3, and M4 chips in standard, Pro, and Max trims.

The panel does more than one job. Flip it over and you choose between a matte finish that cuts reflections and a glossy finish that preserves color and contrast. The viewing angle is restricted to plus or minus 30 degrees, so confidential material stays hidden from onlookers at your sides while remaining legible head-on. A webcam notch cutout keeps the camera clear, and blue light is trimmed by up to 22 percent. Usefully, the sleep function still works with the filter installed when the lid is closed. Kensington rounds out the package with a cleaning cloth and a dedicated screen holder that keeps the filter scratch-free when it is not on the laptop.
