3M PF215W9P Privacy Filter for 21.5" Portrait Monitor 16:9, 60° Black-Out, Glossy/Matte, Black

The 3M PF215W9P is a black-out privacy filter for the 21.5" 16:9 monitor in portrait orientation: anyone looking from the side, outside a 60-degree viewing angle, sees a dark screen, while you keep a clear picture from the front. It is made for offices, reception and service desks, open-plan floors and anyone who works with personal, financial or customer data on screen.

3M makes this as a dedicated portrait version for a 21.5-inch 16:9 monitor mounted vertically, for example on a pivoting arm or in a dual-screen setup with one monitor turned upright. For the same monitor used in landscape, order the landscape model instead.

Both sides are usable: a glossy side for the crispest look and a matte side that cuts glare and fingerprints. 3M also states that the filter helps reduce blue light without distorting the natural colours of the display. The filter is made in the USA, TAA compliant and 100% hand-inspected.

• 1 × 3M PF215W9P privacy filter
• 3M does not list the attachment parts supplied with this model and notes that some attachment parts are not included with every filter; adhesive strips and slide-mount tabs are available from 3M as attachment parts

• A colleague beside your desk, a visitor at reception or a passenger next to you in a shared space sees a dark screen; you see the normal image from the front.
• Turn the filter to the glossy side for a brighter, sharper look, or to the matte side if overhead lights or windows reflect on the screen.
• Take the filter off before you clean the monitor; clean the filter with a soft lint-free cloth and an ammonia-free glass cleaner, as 3M recommends.
• 3M builds the filter to withstand hundreds of cleanings, so it is meant to stay on the monitor for everyday use, not as a temporary cover.

• A monitor of a different size or aspect ratio: a 21.5" 16:10 screen, for example, needs a different 3M model.
• Frameless monitors with flat front glass: for those, 3M makes Full Screen (E/EM) filters designed to span the glass edge to edge.
• The same monitor used in landscape orientation: this is the portrait version.
• Someone standing directly behind you: the black-out works for side views outside the 60-degree angle, not for someone looking over your shoulder from straight behind.
• Touchscreen use: 3M does not state compatibility for this model, so ask us before ordering for such a display.
