Privacy Protection - What is it?

3M™ Privacy Filters help block the screen view from anyone viewing the computer from a side view. 3M's unique microlouver privacy technology allows persons directly in front of the computer to see on screen data clearly.

Why is it important?

With personal information disclosure laws becoming more restrictive, plus identity theft and corporate information loss costing companies billions of dollars a year, protecting your confidential information is more critical than ever.

How can a 3M™ Privacy Filter help me?

3M™ Privacy Filters use screen darkening privacy technology, rather than common blurring or distorting of screen data to prevent casual onlookers from viewing your screen.

It's easier on your eyes
Protects your on screen data in high traffic areas
Protects the fragile surface of LCD screens from scuffs and scratches

Look for 3M™ Privacy Filters in a variety of sizes to fit:

Most Notebook Computers, including widescreen models
LCD Desktop Monitors
CRT Monitors

I get my best ideas in airports, peeking at other people's laptops.

Glare Reduction - What is it?

Glare is a reflection on your computer monitor screen that prevents you from seeing the data on screen clearly. You must look through the glare to see the data. Glare occurs on all types of monitor screens including LCD and CRTs.

Why is it important?

Glare,

is a common cause of eyestrain and headaches
can cause discomfort and loss of productivity
can cause computer users to sit in awkward, uncomfortable positions to avoid the glare

According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), almost 10 million people suffer from computer-related eyestrain each year.

How can a 3M™ Anti-Glare Computer Filter help me?

3M™ Computer Filters use optical quality glass in all framed anti-glare filters.
Anti-reflection coatings are applied that help reduce up to 99% of screen glare.
Due to the large variety of features offered, you are certain to find the right computer filter for your environment.

Screen Protection - What is it?

LCD computer screens are brighter and easier to view; however, they are easier to scratch and damage due to the fragile screen surface. 3M™ Computer Filters help safeguard fragile LCD screens from scratches, fingerprints, scuffs and smudges.

Why is it important?

Repairs can be costly.
Repair time reduces employee productivity.
Depending on the screen damage, it may be difficult to view your data through the damaged screen

How can a 3M™ Computer Filter help me?

A 3M™ Computer Filter puts a layer of protection between the screen and things that may cause screen damage.
No matter what type of computer filter you choose, the protection begins when you place the filter on your screen.
