From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer 3M™ Privacy Filters for widescreen and standard LCD monitors are the perfect fit for people who want their private data to stay out of sight. They share the same patented microlouver technology used in 3M™ Framed Privacy Filters for LCDs and CRTs to block the view of curious onlookers without diminishing yours. So you can have peace of mind in open work environments or high traffic areas. Plus, easy-on, easy-off 3M™ Privacy Filters are the convenient way to create a barrier between your fragile LCD screen and inevitable scuffs and scratches. Simply size up your screen and scroll the model list above. And rest assured, all 3M Privacy Filters are backed by a one- year warranty.

To ensure proper fit, measure the viewable height and width of your desktop monitor’s screen. (Do not include the screen frame in your measurement.) Then, choose the filter size that matches your exact measurements, or slightly smaller. Measure Twice. Order Once. Even if you have a pretty good idea what screen size and aspect ratio your desktop monitor boasts, it’s best to pull out the ruler. By ordering the 3M™ Privacy Filter that is a perfect fit for your widescreen or standard LCD display, you’ll save time and money by avoiding the hassle of returns and exchanges. See the measuring instructions diagram to determine your perfect fit from the model list above. It's a matter of perspective. Whether it’s staying compliant for work or keeping family photos to yourself, privacy is central to everything you do. 3M™ Privacy Filters create a 60-degree No Spy Zone—a safe space where on-screen data is visible only to you and anyone else you allow directly in front of your screen. Now you see it. Now they don’t. Microlouver technology exclusive to 3M™ Privacy Filters and Films creates an invisible 60-degree “safe area” where on-screen data is visible only to those directly in front of the monitor—without blurring or distorting. Fear no cube farm or open office setting. 3M™ Privacy Filters prevent others from crowding your personal space regardless of your work environment. Covering all the angles. Your desktop LCD screen is an open window to your personal and business affairs. But what about your mobile device or laptop? Whether you login at work or home, in a bustling coffee shop or busy airport, 3M Privacy Filters and Films are designed to deliver peace of mind in any setting. Want to add a touch of style while protecting your data on the go? Check out the new 3M™ GOLD Privacy Filters. A deeper understanding. How do 3M™ Privacy Filters protect your on-screen information while making it privy to your eyes only? Patented 3M™ Advanced Light Control Film (ALCF) technology contains closely spaced black microlouvers positioned to 1-degree precision, with over a dozen louvers per millimeter evenly distributed across the screen. It’s a mini Venetian blind with no strings attached. Microlouvers just one-fifth the width of a human hair simulate tiny Venetian blinds to shield out curious glances toward your screen while directing onscreen data to the user’s viewing area. Easy-on, easy-off attachment system makes 3M™ Privacy Filters ideal for people who need to work privately in open settings or high traffic areas. Scuff happens. Today's desktop displays are brighter and easier to view. But fragile LCD surfaces are easier to scratch, scuff, smudge or damage, making it difficult to view your data. And repairs can be costly and time-consuming. 3M™ Privacy Filters provide your desktop monitor extra protection against everyday use the moment you place it on your screen.

I bought this with some hesitation after reading one negative review...but I'm glad I got it because it works great but keep in mind you have to have the shiney side facing the monitor for it to work properly

You can almost completely stop those peeping toms with this filter. While it is not 100% effective, it does block or blur most of the view from people who are not directly behind you. You can kind of see the double sided tape squares you place in each corner to keep it affixed to your monitor but it isn't obvious enough to be annoying or distracting.

Amazon.com has the lowest price I could find on the web plus free shipping. I got my in 3 days and am completely satisified with this product.

Just the perfect screen you'll ever need to keep those prying eyes away from any angle. You need to be directly in line with it to get the full view. Nothing else out there comes even close to it. Go for it with full faith, and enjoy.
