DICOTA Privacy Filter 2-Way Side-Mounted for 16" 16:10 laptops
2-way privacy ±30°Side-mounted, removableBlue light up to −42%16" 16:10
The DICOTA D50024-2SM is a 2-way privacy filter for 16-inch laptop screens with a 16:10 aspect ratio: anyone looking from the left or right beyond roughly 30 degrees sees a darkened screen, while you see the image normally from the front. It suits people who work on trains, in airports, in open-plan offices or at reception desks where customer data, emails or financial figures are on screen.
This is the side-mounted version. Small holders, fixed to the display bezel with adhesive dots, keep the filter in place at the edges, so you can slide the filter out when you are alone or presenting, and put it back in seconds without touching the screen surface.
Besides privacy, the surface is anti-glare and DICOTA states up to 42% blue-light reduction, so the filter also cuts reflections from windows and overhead lighting during long sessions.
Before you order: DICOTA universal filters are sized by visible screen diagonal and aspect ratio. This filter measures 344.5 × 215.6 mm for 16" 16:10 screens. Measure the visible display area (not the outer lid) and check the aspect ratio of your laptop: a 16" screen with 16:9 proportions will not be covered correctly.
What's in the Box
- 1 × DICOTA 2-way privacy filter 16" 16:10 (344.5 × 215.6 mm)
- Mounting material: side holders and adhesive dots for the display bezel
What It Means in Practice
- From the front the image stays clear, but it looks somewhat darker because the filter transmits up to 75% of the light; most users raise screen brightness one or two steps.
- A colleague next to you or a passenger in the next seat sees a dark screen; someone standing directly behind you can still read it, because a 2-way filter only narrows the left and right viewing angles.
- Touchscreen laptops keep working through the filter, according to DICOTA.
- The holders stay on the bezel, so you can take the filter off to show your screen to a client sitting beside you and refit it afterwards.
What Will Not Work
- Privacy from above or below: this is a 2-way filter. For vertical privacy as well, a 4-way filter is needed.
- Screens with a size or aspect ratio other than 16" 16:10: the filter will either leave a strip uncovered or overlap the bezel.
- Laptops with no flat bezel area for the holders, such as edge-to-edge glass without a frame margin.
- Protection from someone standing directly behind you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which size to order?
Measure the visible screen diagonal and check the aspect ratio in your laptop specifications. This filter is 344.5 × 215.6 mm and matches 16" 16:10 panels.
Does it block someone looking from above?
No. A 2-way filter narrows the left and right viewing angles only.
Can I take it off and put it back?
Yes. The filter slides out of the side holders, which stay on the bezel for refitting.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Privacy filters fail on fit far more often than on optics: a 16" 16:10 filter on a 16" 16:9 screen leaves a strip uncovered. Confirm the aspect ratio first, then choose the mounting style that matches how you work — side holders if you remove the filter often. For other sizes and mounting types, see our
privacy filters and screen filters.
✓ Buy it if you work in public or shared spaces on a 16" 16:10 laptop and want to keep side viewers out while still removing the filter when needed.
✕ Skip it if your laptop is not 16" 16:10, or you also need privacy from above (choose a 4-way filter).
→ Also consider a DICOTA 4-way privacy filter if you work in standing environments where people view your screen from above.
