Kensington MP16 Magnetic Privacy Screen for 16" MacBook Pro

The Kensington MP16 Magnetic Privacy Screen is a removable, magnet-attaching filter for 16" MacBook Pro models (2021–2024) that narrows side viewing to protect on-screen privacy while reducing glare and blue light.

Working away from an office increases the risk of shoulder surfing and unwanted viewing of sensitive information. The MP16 (MagPro™ Elite) privacy screen connects to the MacBook Pro’s built-in magnetic frame so you can attach or remove the filter quickly without adhesives. It preserves the laptop’s ability to close fully to enter sleep mode and offers reversible matte and glossy finishes so you can prioritize reflection control or color clarity.

How does this screen keep my information private?

The MP16 narrows the display’s visible angle to approximately ±30° so people beside or behind you see a darkened display instead of readable content. That directional privacy is mechanical — achieved through micro-louver technology — and works whether you’re on a train, in a café, or at a co-working desk.

• Limits side viewing to roughly ±30° to block lateral observers
• Attaches to factory magnets — no sticky residue or frame changes
• Webcam notch maintains camera access without lifting the filter

Will the magnetic screen damage or change my MacBook Pro?

No. The MP16 uses the MacBook Pro’s existing magnetic bezel and is designed not to interfere with normal laptop operation. You can close the lid completely so the MacBook sleeps as usual, and there’s no adhesive left on the chassis when you remove the filter.

• Mounts to built-in magnets — no glue or permanent attachments
• Allows complete lid closure and normal sleep behavior
• Includes a protective holder to store the screen safely when not in use

How does it affect screen clarity, reflections, and eye comfort?

The filter is reversible: choose the matte side to reduce glare and reflections, or the glossy side to preserve sharper colors and brightness. Additionally, the filter decreases blue light transmission by up to 22%, which can help reduce visual fatigue from long usage sessions without making color shifts severe.

• Reversible matte/gloss finish for anti-reflective or color-priority use
• Blue-light reduction up to about 22% to lessen eye strain potential
• Designed for minimal color and sharpness loss when using glossy side

What comes in the box and how do I care for it?

The MP16 package includes the magnetic privacy screen, a soft cleaning cloth, and a screen holder to protect the filter when not installed. Routine maintenance is straightforward: use the supplied cloth or a lint-free microfiber cloth and a gentle screen cleaner; avoid abrasive materials and excessive pressure.

• Includes cleaning cloth and protective screen holder for storage
• Wipe with microfiber cloth and mild cleaner; avoid harsh chemicals
• Removable design makes cleaning both screen and laptop easier

Who this is for: The Kensington MP16 is ideal for business professionals, hybrid workers, students, and frequent travelers who use a 16" MacBook Pro (2021–2024, M-series processors) and need a fast, non-permanent privacy solution. Choose this filter if you want magnetic attachment, the option to reduce glare or keep color fidelity, and the convenience of closing your laptop fully without removing the protector.
