Black Privacy for Monitors

Help keep prying eyes off your desktop monitor.

3M™ Black Privacy Filters

Our world-class privacy filter helps protect the confidential and sensitive information on your monitor from the side-views of visual hackers.

Privacy when it counts
Ingenious microlouver technology delivers world-class effective privacy. Side views are "blacked out" from prying eyes while your screen remains clearly visible to straight-on views.

Maintain image quality of your display
Helps reduce reflections so you see your screen clearly with pristine image clarity.

Sleek and durable
Seemless design adds an extra layer of protection from everyday scratches and dust.

- 3M™ Privacy Filters fade to black starting at the 30-degree side angle
- Effective "black out" privacy from side views outside the 60-degree viewing angle
- Reversible between a glossy side and glare-reducing matte
- Maintains incredible image clarity
- Anti-glare coating
- Protects from everyday dust and scratches
- Easy to attach, remove and clean
- Reduces 35% of blue light transmission from the display
