Guardian Privacy Filter for 26" Monitor (G-PF26.0W)

Protect sensitive information without sacrificing on-screen clarity with the Guardian Privacy Filter for 26" computer monitors. Engineered to shield horizontal and vertical viewing angles from side glare, this privacy filter helps teams stay compliant with privacy regulations while preserving a crisp, natural viewing experience for the user seated directly in front of the screen. Designed for versatility, it works seamlessly on both desktop monitors and laptops, making it an ideal choice for shared workspaces, open-plan offices, and hot-desking environments where privacy and productivity must go hand in hand. Guardian’s privacy solution blends high optical quality with durable materials, delivering a filter that minimizes screen distractions and reduces reflections so you can focus on the task at hand. While many privacy filters darken the display, Guardian’s technology emphasizes light transmission and color accuracy so the person looking straight at the screen still enjoys a bright, clear image.

• Privacy protection without compromising clarity: The Guardian privacy filter narrows viewing angles to shield confidential information from shoulder surfers while ensuring on-axis viewing remains sharp and true to color.
• Clear on-axis viewing with minimized brightness loss: Special optical coatings preserve brightness and color fidelity when viewed head-on, helping you read small text, charts, and dense documents with ease.
• Anti-glare matte finish for all-day comfort: A durable matte surface reduces reflections and screen glare, reducing eye strain during long work sessions in bright offices or conference rooms.
• Easy, secure installation: Designed for quick attachment to 26" monitors with a low-profile frame, the filter installs without tools and remains stable during daily use, even in busy workspaces.
• Built to withstand busy environments: The surface resists fingerprints and smudges, making it simple to keep clean in high-traffic areas and shared devices without sacrificing privacy or image quality.
