3M Privacy Filter for 23" Monitor

Overview

The 3M PF230W9B is a privacy filter designed specifically for 23-inch monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It narrows the viewing angle to about 60 degrees, allowing only the person directly in front of the screen to see the content clearly while protecting sensitive information from side glances. This filter also reduces blue light exposure, helping to minimize eye strain during extended use without compromising color accuracy or image clarity.
