The 3M Privacy Filter PF230W9EM is your go-to solution for protecting sensitive information on a 23" full‑screen monitor while preserving a crisp, uninterrupted viewing experience. Engineered for professionals, students, and anyone who values discretion, this privacy filter leverages 3M’s trusted privacy technology and the convenient COMPLY magnetic attachment system to deliver a seamless, tool-free installation. Designed for a 16:9 display, it fits perfectly on standard 23" monitors, providing a near-edge-to-edge fit that minimizes light leakage without compromising screen clarity. Ideal for open offices, shared workspaces, classrooms, and home offices, the PF230W9EM helps you stay focused on your own screen content while keeping confidential information out of sight from colleagues, passersby, or visitors.

• Enhanced privacy with lightweight, high-clarity performance: The PF230W9EM privacy filter narrows viewing angles so confidential content remains visible only to you, helping protect sensitive data from side-by-side viewing while maintaining strong image clarity for the user directly in front of the screen. This makes it an essential accessory for finance, legal, healthcare, and IT environments where information security is a priority.
• Fast, tool-free COMPLY magnetic attachment for effortless setup: 3M’s COMPLY Magnetic Attach technology enables quick mounting and removal without tools. The filter aligns securely with your monitor’s bezel, staying flush and stable during use, yet it’s easy to detach when you need an unobstructed, full-screen view for presentations or collaborative work.
• Precisely engineered for 23" 16:9 displays: The PF230W9EM is designed to fit 23-inch diagonal monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio, providing reliable coverage and consistent privacy protection across the entire screen surface, so your content is consistently protected whether you’re drafting documents, reviewing spreadsheets, or coding.
• Anti-glare surface for comfortable viewing: The non-reflective, anti-glare coating reduces glare from overhead lighting and ambient light, helping to minimize eye strain during long work sessions. This is especially beneficial in bright office spaces, classrooms, or home offices where screen glare can compromise visibility and comfort.
• Durable, easy to clean, and designed for everyday use: Built to withstand daily wear, the PF230W9EM’s surface is simple to clean with a microfiber cloth and mild screen cleaner, preserving the coating and optical clarity. Its sturdy frame and magnetic attachment system are made to endure frequent attachment and removal without leaving residue or scratching the monitor.

How to Install PF230W9EM

Installing the PF230W9EM is quick and straightforward, thanks to the COMPLY magnetic attach system. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, accurate fit:

• Prepare your workspace by powering down the monitor and cleaning the screen surface with a microfiber cloth to remove dust, oils, and fingerprints.
• Align the PF230W9EM with your monitor bezel, ensuring the 16:9 coverage matches the screen’s visible area. The magnetic frame around the filter will align with the monitor’s edges.
• Gently bring the filter toward the screen. The embedded magnets will attract the monitor frame, pulling the filter into a flush, secure position without needing tools.
• Check alignment from multiple angles to confirm that the privacy filter covers the entire display area without obstructing edges or power indicators. If necessary, remove and reattach to fine-tune positioning.
• To remove, gently separate the filter from the monitor by pulling away from the bezel, then store the filter in its protective case when not in use to maintain surface integrity and privacy performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Is PF230W9EM compatible with all 23" monitors? A: PF230W9EM is designed for 23" diagonal displays with a 16:9 aspect ratio and uses 3M COMPLY magnetic attach for easy mounting. While it fits most standard 23" screens, always verify your monitor’s bezel design and dimensions for optimal alignment.

For touch-enabled displays or multi-monitor configurations, confirm compatibility with the 3M COMPLY magnetic system to avoid interference with touch sensors or neighboring screens.
• Q: How should I clean and maintain the filter? A: Clean the surface with a microfiber cloth and a mild screen-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the anti-glare coating or the micro-louver technology. Regular, gentle cleaning helps maintain optical performance and privacy protection.
• Q: Is the attachment permanent or reusable? A: The COMPLY Magnetic Attach system is designed for repeated attachment and removal. It provides a secure, residue-free hold on compatible monitor frames, with easy detachment when privacy is not required.
