3M™ Privacy Filter for 19in Monitor, 16:10, PF190W1B

The 3M PF190W1B Privacy Filter is engineered for professionals who demand both privacy and performance from their 19-inch monitors with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Designed to shield sensitive information from prying eyes in open offices, classrooms, and shared workspaces, this privacy screen preserves your privacy without compromising clarity. By utilizing 3M’s advanced micro-louver technology, the PF190W1B restricts side viewing so only the person directly in front of the screen can read the content, making it an essential accessory for safeguarding confidential data, client information, and strategic documents. Beyond privacy, this filter enhances your viewing experience with an anti-glare, matte surface that reduces reflections and eye strain, while offering durable screen protection against scratches and dust. Whether you’re drafting spreadsheets, reviewing financial reports, or preparing sensitive presentations, the PF190W1B helps you stay focused and productive in any environment.

• Privacy on demand: Keep sensitive data secure in open offices, co-working spaces, or shared labs by limiting visibility to anyone viewing from the sides. The filter creates a private viewing cone so your screen contents stay confidential even when colleagues walk by.
• Crystal-clear image quality: Despite its privacy functionality, the PF190W1B preserves sharp text, precise graphics, and accurate colors from the front, ensuring you don’t sacrifice readability or visual fidelity for security.
• Anti-glare, comfortable viewing: The matte, anti-glare surface minimizes reflections from overhead lighting and windows, helping reduce eye fatigue during long work sessions and presentations.
• Durable screen protection: In addition to privacy, the filter acts as a protective layer against scratches, dust, and everyday wear, helping extend the life of your monitor’s screen surface.
• Easy installation and removal: Specifically designed for 19" 16:10 displays, the PF190W1B installs quickly with a non-permanent fit and can be removed without residue, making it ideal for swapping between private and shared work modes.
