Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer

To ensure proper fit, measure the viewable height and width of your laptop screen. (Do not include the screen frame in you measurement.) Then, choose the filter size that matches your exact measurements, or slightly smaller.

Microlouver technology exclusive to 3M Privacy Filters and Films creates an invisible 60-degree "safe zone" where on-screen data is visible only to those directly in front of the monitor, without blurring or distorting.

Identity theft and corporate information losses cost companies hundreds of millions of dollars a year. (US Department of Justice) Work smart and look sharp with 3M GOLD Privacy Filters.

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.

Fear no digital paparazzi. No matter where you are or what digital device you have in-hand or on-desk, 3M Privacy GOLD Films prevent others from crowding your personal space or perusing your digital life.

Easy-on, easy-off attachment system makes 3M GOLD Privacy Filters the perfect fit for computers and people on the go.

You'll see privacy in a whole new light with 3M GOLD Privacy Filters. Engineered to deliver twice the level of effective privacy than standard blackout privacy filters, 3M GOLD Privacy Filters protect your laptop data while freeing you to express your personality in a bold new way. And a 14-percent increase in clarity means it blocks onlookers' view without diminishing yours. So you can enjoy peace of mind in close quarters or high traffic areas while showing off your style. Plus, easy-on, easy-off 3M GOLD Privacy Filters are the convenient way to create a fashionable barrier while protecting your fragile LCD screen. And because they don't rely on blurring or distorting images to guard your privacy, they go a long way in protecting your eyes. Simply size up your screen and scroll the model list. Then boldly take your digital life with you, wherever life takes you. Even better, all 3M GOLD Privacy Filters are backed by a one-year warranty.

Measure Twice. Order Once.

Even if you have a pretty good idea what screen size and aspect ratio your laptop boasts, it's best to pull out the ruler. By ordering the 3M GOLD Privacy Filter that is a perfect fit for your widescreen laptop, you'll save time and money spent running to the post office for returns and exchanges. See the measuring instructions diagram to determine your perfect fit.

The Element of Surprise.

3M GOLD Privacy Filters live for the spotlight, especially open, high-traffic environments or where ever on-screen data needs to be kept private. Whether it's staying compliant for work or keeping family photos to yourself, 3M Privacy Filters create a 60-degree No Spy Zone where on-screen data is visible only to those directly in front of your screen. Now you see it. Now they don't.

New Corporate Dress Code.

A 3M GOLD Privacy Filter is more than a power tie for your laptop. It's the fashion-forward way to meet legislative and compliance requirements, and safeguard the security, confidentiality and integrity of mission-critical information.

Utility with Attitude.

How do 3M Privacy Filters protect your on-screen information while making it privy to your eyes? Patented 3M Advanced Light Control Film (ALCF) technology contains closely spaced black microlouvers positioned to one-degree precision, with over a dozen louvers per millimeter evenly distributed across the screen. It's a mini Venetian blind with no strings attached.

Covering You from All Angles.

A laptop donning a 3M GOLD Privacy Filter offers a highly attractive and convenient gateway into your digital life. But what about your mobile handheld device or desktop monitor? While 3M GOLD Privacy Filters are currently available only for laptops and netbooks, rest assured that 3M offers standard framed and frameless privacy filters for your workstation screen and mobile privacy films for cell phones and PDAs, each designed to give you peace of mind from wherever you log in.

Heavy-Duty Bling.

Another reason why 3M GOLD Privacy Filters are worth every pretty penny: Today's fragile LCD screens are brighter and easier to view, but easier to scratch, scuff, smudge or damage, making it difficult to view your data. And repairs can be costly and time-consuming. 3M GOLD Privacy Filters are specially designed to protect your screen from ordinary use the moment you place it on your screen.

Great Product, Costs Too Much
By Robert Lee
I've owned this product for about a month now and purchased it because I was frustrated with seatmates on airplanes looking at my notebook screen for the whole flight, trying to figure out what I was doing. This screen works wonders in deterring others from taking glances at my private information. In fact, most people think I'm crazy, typing away on a computer with a blank screen, or so they think.

There are some disadvantages with this screen though. Your seatmate directly next to you will be able to see through the filter to your screen partially, because they are within the viewing angle of the screen with the filter on. But move over any farther and the screen is not visible, nor is it visible across the aisle (if sitting in an aisle seat). About the only other place that it is visible is if someone is standing directly above you, one row back. Turning down the brightness of your screen also helps immensely in blocking people from viewing your screen through the filter at any angle.

(Please note, having this filter installed screens out about half of the light coming out of the screen. If you have poor eyesight with dim lighting and have trouble with computer screens, this product may not be for you.)

Additionally, the clear plastic tabs included with the filter adheres to the plastic border around the notebook LCD screen to keep the filter in place. It works, but blocks about a 1/8" of the screen at 6 points, especially noticeable around the bottom of the screen where the start bar is located.

You'll also notice a large "3M PF14.1W" printed in the top right hand corner of the filter. It's used to help in determining whether the filter is facing the right direction, but it's quite distracting at times. The height of the lettering is equivalent in size to the window bar at the top of any program.

This filter is also very dust, lint, debris, and smudge attracting. You'll find yourself wiping the filter often.

Overall, this filter does its job. Great for those who need to comply with HIPPA or other privacy regulations. But as an individual consumer, I wonder if the high price is justified for the benefits it provides.

Good product - better than the competition
By Michael B.
I'm a consultant who travels weekly. Lots of time on flights makes a privacy filter important to me. Being something of a perfectionist and the fact that I look through it for hours each week, I ordered both the ViewGuard and the 3M filters to compare them. I kept the 3M and returned the ViewGuard. Why?

The image clarity of the 3M filter was significantly better (note that I work with small fonts, spreadsheets, etc. and wear glasses) Yes, ViewGuard, I removed the protective film before making the comparison! Two things bugged me about the ViewGuard: (1) its polarization cuts run diagonally (the 3M run vertically), which is distracting, and (2) the image through the ViewGuard is a tiny bit blurry/hazy compared to the 3M. 3M seems to have a more clear film that they use. A colleague of mine did the same side-by-side and agreed with me.

Both products do what they claim, and both fit my notebook well, although I also prefer the optional vertical mounting strips that come with the 3M product (both come with mounting 'dots', but 3M supplies an alternate mounting mechanism as well).

Let's face it: $50 for a piece of plastic seems expensive, but there's no alternative if you want to work on client (or your own financial) information on a plane. Thanks, 3M, for making a quality product. (And no, I don't work for 3M!)

Doesn't work as advertised...
By A Customer
I saw this at a small local computer store for dirt cheap so I decided to pick it up. The fit on my Toshiba laptop is perfect. Looking right at it, you can clearly tell that it is there as it has a dark tint and you can see the thin lines in it, but everything on screen is still readable and enjoyable, except for the annoying, non-removable "3M PF15.0" logo near the bottom right of the filter that blocks off some of the text in the taskbar. It probably won't hinder daily use, but just the fact that it's there is annoying.
For the screen to actually appear black, one would have to stand at a rather extreme angle where the screen wouldn't even look all that clear to them in the first place. It will block somebody from reading any text, but for the most part they will still be able to tell what you are doing.
Also, once you get dust on the back side of the filter, forget about getting it all off. I can spray it with compressed air all day and wipe it with my microfiber dust clothe as much as I want, but there is still some dust on it.
In short, it does *NOT* make on-screen data visible only to the person directly in front of the monitor. I suggest that if you can, try one out first to see if it fits your needs. Maybe somebody at your local computer store will let you put one on a monitor and you can test out the angles to see if it is worth the price for you.
