Enhance your on-screen privacy without sacrificing clarity or productivity with the 3M PF220W1B privacy filter. Specifically designed for 22-inch monitors with a 16:10 aspect ratio, this privacy screen uses 3M’s advanced MicroLouvre technology to dramatically narrow the viewing angle, keeping sensitive information hidden from people passing by while preserving crisp, bright, and color-accurate image quality for you. Ideal for open offices, coworking spaces, airports, and classrooms, the PF220W1B helps you work securely and confidently whether you’re reviewing confidential documents, financial data, or personal information. Beyond privacy, this filter reduces glare and reflections, minimizes eye strain, and provides a smooth, low-profile installation that won’t interfere with your monitor’s design or your workflow. With durable construction and simple maintenance, it’s a practical choice for professionals who value privacy, productivity, and screen readability in any lighting condition.

• Privacy focused, visibility limited to the center viewing angle: The PF220W1B uses 3M’s MicroLouvre technology to block side viewing angles, ensuring confidential content stays on your screen and out of sight from colleagues, passersby, or visitors. This makes it an essential tool for handling sensitive data in shared workspaces, public areas, or any environment where privacy is a priority.
• Preserves image quality and screen clarity: Unlike older privacy filters that dim or blur the display, this 22-inch privacy filter is engineered to maintain sharp text, vibrant colors, and accurate brightness. You’ll experience clear documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and multimedia without the usual color shift or loss of detail that can accompany privacy solutions.
• Reduces glare and improves viewing comfort: The PF220W1B helps minimize glare from overhead lighting and sunlit rooms, providing a more comfortable viewing experience during long work sessions. The anti-reflective surface reduces reflections on the screen, which helps fight eye fatigue and makes it easier to focus on details, even in bright environments.
• Easy installation with a sleek, unobtrusive fit: Designed to integrate neatly with your 22" monitor, the privacy filter attaches securely and remains easily removable when privacy is no longer required. The slim profile maintains the monitor’s aesthetics while delivering robust privacy protection, so you can work discreetly without bulky hardware or complicated setup.
• Durable, low-maintenance design for everyday use: The PF220W1B is built to endure daily use in busy offices and home workspaces. Its surface resists fingerprints and smudges, and it cleans easily with standard screen cleaners. This durability ensures long-term privacy protection and screen visibility without frequent replacements or repairs.
