3M Black Privacy Filter for Notebooks PF15.6W

The 3M Privacy Filter PF15.6W9B is designed for 15.6" widescreen laptops with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This frameless privacy filter limits side viewing to approximately a 60-degree angle for "black out" privacy, while preserving a high-resolution, clear view when viewed head-on. The reversible design offers a glossy side for maximum clarity and a matte anti-glare side to reduce reflections and hide fingerprints. The filter is compatible with LCD laptop displays and provides scratch-resistant protection without adding a visible frame.

Advantages

The filter delivers strong privacy protection by blocking side views outside the central viewing angle, helping prevent onlookers from seeing sensitive information. Its reversible glossy and matte surfaces let you choose between enhanced image clarity or reduced glare and fewer visible fingerprints. The frameless, scratch-resistant construction maintains the original screen appearance and is suitable for widescreen 16:9 laptops.

• Use on 15.6" widescreen (16:9) laptops
