3M 5:4 Framed Privacy Filter for 17" Standard Monitors

The 3M PF170C4F is a framed privacy filter that snaps onto a 17-inch monitor with a 5:4 aspect ratio and keeps on-screen information private from anyone who is not sitting directly in front of the display.

It uses a microlouver design that blocks side views while allowing you to work straight on without losing sharpness. Compared with standard 3M filters, it delivers up to 20 percent more clarity, so text and graphics stay crisp instead of looking dark or muddy. The surface cuts glare, helping you read comfortably under office lighting, and it lowers blue light by roughly 35 percent, which can reduce eye strain during long sessions.

The rigid frame protects the panel from scratches and fingerprints, a practical benefit if you share desks or move equipment often. When you need to show the screen to a colleague, simply lift the filter off its hanger arms or release the included Command strips; both attachment methods install quickly and leave the monitor untouched.

This filter suits open-plan offices, healthcare stations, financial service counters, libraries, or any environment where confidential data appears on screen and passersby could glance over your shoulder. It is an easy, reusable way to meet privacy policies without replacing hardware or adding complex software.
