• Ultra-crystal privacy without compromising clarity: 3M's High Clarity technology minimizes viewing angle intrusion so on-screen content stays crisp for authorized viewers, while curious eyes are kept at bay. Expect text that's sharp, fine lines that stay legible, and images that remain vibrant even as privacy protection engages. This balance between privacy and clarity is essential for reviewing financial reports, client data, and sensitive emails in open-plan offices, hot-desking environments, or shared workspaces where privacy is critical.
• Industry-leading image quality: Unlike many privacy filters that dim colors or soften detail, this filter maintains glossy image clarity, strong contrast, and high resolution. You'll notice true-to-life color, cleaner white backgrounds, and crisp edges on graphs, charts, and photos. The result is a privacy filter that doubles as a high-quality screen booster for color-critical work, presentations, and media review, ensuring you don’t have to trade visibility for privacy.
• Designed for 22" widescreen monitors (16:10): Precision engineering ensures a snug, nearly invisible fit on compatible 22" widescreen displays with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The filter aligns with screen bezels for a professional look, reduces glare, and minimizes distortion at the edges so you can rely on accurate reading and accurate color across the entire display, from edge-to-edge content to full-screen documents.
• Easy to attach, simple to maintain: The privacy filter is designed for quick setup with minimal effort. It can be mounted without tools in many configurations, then removed and cleaned with a soft microfiber cloth. The durable coating helps resist fingerprints, smudges, and everyday wear, keeping your screen looking pristine across long workdays and frequent task-switching.
• Security and comfort in every workspace: Beyond privacy, the filter helps reduce ambient glare and eye strain by limiting reflections and providing a consistent viewing experience. This is especially beneficial in brightly lit offices, shared workstations, or environments with strong overhead lighting. The result is a more comfortable viewing experience during long sessions of data entry, coding, or design work, helping you stay focused and productive without compromising security.

How to install 3M High Clarity Privacy Filter

Installing this privacy filter is quick and straightforward, designed to minimize downtime and maximize privacy protection. Follow these steps for optimal results:

• Prepare your workspace: Power down and unplug the monitor. Clean the screen surface with a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust, oils, and fingerprints. A clean surface helps the filter adhere properly and prevents micro-scratches during installation.
• Verify compatibility: Confirm your monitor is a 22" widescreen display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a relatively flat surface. Some curved or deeply beveled screens may require a different mounting approach or a custom fit.
• Unpack and inspect: Check that all components are present, including any mounting tabs, frames, or adhesive options that accompany your model. Inspect the filter for any dust or debris before attaching.
• Align with precision: Hold the filter by its edges and align it so the edges match the screen bezel. Ensure the top edge is oriented correctly and that the display remains centered, with no obstruction to the webcam, sensors, or bezels.
• Attach securely: Use the provided mounting method—whether adhesive tabs, friction-fit, or a frame—to secure the filter. Apply gentle, even pressure around the edges to eliminate air pockets and ensure a uniform seal without bending the filter.
• Verify function and privacy: Reconnect power, turn on the monitor, and verify that content remains legible from the intended viewing angle while appearing dark to those viewing from the sides. Make any small alignment adjustments if necessary, and ensure the filter does not interfere with screen corners or edge areas.
• Maintenance: Clean the surface with a microfiber cloth as needed. If you need to reposition or remove it, do so gently to avoid damage to the screen or coating.

Frequently asked questions

• What exactly does the 3M High Clarity Privacy Filter do? It protects confidential information by restricting the horizontal viewing angle, so people off to the side cannot read your screen, while preserving sharp, clear visuals for you directly in front of the monitor.
• Will privacy filters reduce brightness or color accuracy? The High Clarity line is engineered to minimize color distortion and brightness loss, delivering crisp text and vibrant visuals with privacy intact. Some slight perceived brightness may occur when compared to an unfiltered screen, but color fidelity remains high and consistent.
• Is installation tool-free and easy for non-technical users? Yes. Many 3M privacy filters are designed for tool-free mounting with simple alignment. They can be removed without residue on compatible surfaces, making swaps or repositioning straightforward.
• Is this filter compatible with all 22" widescreen monitors (16:10)? It is designed for most standard 22" widescreen displays with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Always verify bezel dimensions and screen curvature to confirm a perfect fit for your model.
• How should I clean and maintain the filter? Clean with a soft microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of water or a mild, non-ammonia screen cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals that can wear the coating over time.
• Does the privacy filter affect touch or pen input on touch-enabled monitors? Privacy filters for non-touch displays typically do not interfere with input devices. If your monitor supports touch, test after installation to ensure input is unaffected; if interference occurs, consult the product guide for compatible mounting options.
