3M Privacy Filter for 24" Monitor

Overview

The 3M PF240W1B is a privacy filter designed specifically for 24-inch monitors with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It uses advanced microlouver technology to limit the viewing angle, ensuring that only the person directly in front of the screen sees clear, full-color images while side views appear darkened. This makes it an excellent choice for environments where sensitive information needs protection, such as open offices, healthcare settings, and libraries. The filter also reduces blue light exposure, helping to ease eye strain during long work sessions.

• Microlouver technology creates a narrow viewing zone to block side views beyond 60 degrees, protecting on-screen privacy.
• Reversible design with a glossy side for maximum image clarity and a matte side to reduce glare and hide fingerprints.
• Frameless and lightweight construction blends seamlessly with your monitor without adding bulk.
• Installation options include adhesive strips for a permanent fit or slide mounts for easy removal when sharing your screen.
