The 3M Privacy Filter PF195W9B is the premier privacy solution designed specifically for 19.5-inch monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Engineered with 3M’s renowned privacy technology, this filter protects confidential information from prying eyes without sacrificing on-screen clarity for the person directly in front of the display. Whether you’re in a bustling office, a healthcare environment, financial services, or a remote-work setup, PF195W9B helps you stay focused on your work while ensuring sensitive data remains confidential. Its matte, anti-glare surface reduces distracting reflections and fingerprints, making daily tasks easier and more productive. In short, it’s a practical upgrade for any workspace that values privacy, security, and professional presentation.

• Advanced privacy protection – Built with 3M Micro-Louver technology, the PF195W9B narrows viewing angles so outsiders can’t clearly see your screen from the sides, while still delivering a crisp, high-contrast image to you, the primary viewer.
• Crystal-clear image quality – The filter preserves color accuracy, brightness, and sharpness when viewed head-on, ensuring you don’t compromise on the quality of your work, documents, or media.
• Anti-glare, fingerprint-resistant finish – A durable matte coating minimizes reflections and smudges, helping you work comfortably in bright environments and keep your screen legible throughout the day.
• Easy, secure installation – The PF195W9B uses a simple mounting frame that snaps onto most 19.5" monitors with standard bezels. It’s designed for quick attachment and effortless removal, so you can switch between private and shared displays as needed.
• Reliable, business-ready durability – Made to withstand daily office use, it resists scratches and is easy to clean with a microfiber cloth, ensuring long-term performance without compromising display integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Will the PF195W9B affect my screen brightness or color accuracy? A: You may notice a slight change in perceived brightness when viewed head-on, but color accuracy remains consistent for everyday work. The privacy feature specifically impacts viewing angles, not color rendering at the focal position.
