3M Privacy Filter for 43in Monitor, 16:9, PF430W9B

Protect sensitive information without sacrificing clarity with the 3M Privacy Filter PF430W9B, engineered specifically for a 43-inch monitor in a 16:9 aspect. This premium privacy screen uses advanced optical film to block side viewing, delivering world-class privacy from the left and right while maintaining a crisp, bright image when viewed straight on. Ideal for open offices, shared workspaces, financial firms, healthcare facilities, and any environment where confidentiality matters, the PF430W9B helps you shoulder-surf-proof your day without compromising productivity. Its distinctive, dual-surface design gives you unmatched versatility—flip between a glossy surface for vivid color and a matte, glare-reducing surface to minimize reflections and fingerprints in bright light. With 3M’s renowned engineering, you get a professional-grade privacy filter that blends seamlessly with your workflow, protecting data on your 43-inch display while preserving image quality and comfort during long work sessions.

• The PF430W9B delivers privacy from side views up to 60 degrees, ensuring confidential information remains unseen to bystanders while your screen remains crystal clear when viewed head-on. This makes it perfect for meetings, open desks, and public spaces where sensitive data could be exposed to prying eyes. The 43-inch diagonal and 16:9 aspect layout align precisely with your monitor’s active area for optimal coverage and minimal edge intrusion.
• Dual-surface versatility lets you choose between a glossy finish and a matte finish. The glossy side delivers vibrant color, sharp contrast, and maximum image clarity for presentations, design work, or multimedia. Flip to the matte surface in bright environments to reduce glare, improve readability, and hide fingerprints between cleanings, giving you a consistently professional look no matter the lighting conditions.
• Designed to preserve on-screen readability and color integrity, the PF430W9B minimizes color shift and maintains brightness when viewed straight-on. You’ll notice that text remains legible, graphs stay crisp, and images retain accurate hues, enabling accurate analysis and confident decision-making even when privacy is paramount.
• Easy to integrate into your daily routine, this privacy filter sits atop the screen with no complicated mounting hardware. It provides effective privacy without intrusive borders or obstructive installation steps, making it suitable for frequent desk changes, hot-desking, or shared workspaces. The filter is designed for straightforward cleaning and maintenance, helping you keep your screen pristine and ready for work at all times.
• Durable design and user-friendly maintenance ensure long-term value. The matte surface resists reflections and hides fingerprints, while the glossy side offers full clarity and color fidelity. Both surfaces are built to withstand everyday wear, making the PF430W9B a reliable companion for busy offices, classrooms, and home workstations where screens get daily use.
