3M™ Privacy Filters for laptops and netbooks are the perfect fit for people who want to keep their private data out of sight. They share the same patented microlouver technology used in 3M™ and Framed , blocking the view of curious onlookers without diminishing yours. So you can enjoy peace of mind using your laptop or netbook in close quarters 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. And like the stylish new , they don’t rely on blurring or distorting images to guard your privacy. So they go a long way in protecting your eyes. Simply size up your screen and scroll the model list above. Then confidently take your digital life with you, wherever life takes you. Even better, all 3M Privacy Filters are backed by a one-year warranty.
To ensure proper fit, measure the viewable height and width of your laptop 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 laptop or netbook 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 laptop or netbook, 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 30-degree cone of vision so on-screen data is visible only to those directly in front of your screen.
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 train commute, plane seat, park bench, cubicle farm or coffee house. No matter where you are or what digital device you have, 3M™ Privacy Filters prevent others from crowding your personal space or perusing your digital life.
Covering all the angles.
Your laptop or netbook screen is an open window to your personal and business affairs. But what about your or ? 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.
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 the perfect fit for laptop and netbook users on the go.
Scuff happens.
Today's laptop and netbook screens 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 laptop or netbook extra protection against everyday use the moment you place it on your screen.

Purpose: I purchased this privacy filter for my work laptop to limit the visibility of my screen both at work and when I'm out of the office using it in public places.Shipping: The screen came in a typical product envelope, enclosed in a padded shipping envelope so it was in perfect condition on opening.Function: The screen was easy to apply with the provided adhesive strips (2 for my screen). It comes with an extra strip if you happen to bungle one. The screen has both a glare and anti-glare side, allowing you to select your preference. Although I opted for the non-glare side, one feature of the glare side is it makes it even harder for others to see your screen in bright light conditions because of reflected objects. The glare side does not seem to impact straight on viewing (at least in fluorescent lighting conditions - I did not test it outdoors). Straight on viewing is just fine with privacy effects coming immediately as you move to the side (30 degrees or so). If your system is at it's default brightness, the screen will appear considerably darker for straight on viewing. Adjusting the brightness on my laptop made the text/graphics stand out as normal with no loss of privacy from the sides as mentioned above.Fit: This product fits exactly as described. I applied the filter with its adhesive strips carefully to my LCD. It covers the entire display with just the slightest edge of the LCD visible. It is almost a perfect fit. I'm glad for that little bit of space however because it allowed me to get the screen in position next to the LCD framing despite my large fingers. There is a small fingertip cutout at the top edge which gives you room to pull the filter off if you need to adjust it. You can slip a fingernail behind the screen and gently pull it away - no hunting for sharp, thin-bladed objects to peel it away.Overall, I am very pleased with this product. It is exactly as described and completely met my expectations.

TRUTH: not perfect but still great.The filter is mounted by transparent sticker tabs you adhere to your laptop's screen.At first I hated these stickers making my shiny new laptop ugly but after a few public uses (I travel a lot) I got used to them surprisingly fast.It is pretty cool how the filter darkens & blurs the screen from the sides. For this to work best you have to make sure it sticks to the screen as closely as possible (otherwise it blurs it for you!).It doesn't come flat like the product picture, it's bent and has a glossy and matte sides, for me the glossy side let me push the filter close to the screen with the stickers on the frame pushing the sides against it (I bent the stickers inwards to have the filter completely touching the screen).Anyone directly behind you can also see, but for me this is a plus as I share "live" what I'm doing with others.I was already used to sitting with my back facing the wall so this didn't bother me.It works great when the place is well lit well but not so well under low light situations (dark places), in the latter it blurs the image rather than darken it.Quick summary with TIPS:- darkens and blurs the screen for "side" viewers- anyone directly in front of it can see (TIP: have a wall behind you WITHOUT CCTVs, mirrors, or pictures with reflective glass)- doesn't work as well in dark places (TIP: avoid dark places...duh!)- holds in place with transparent stickers (TIP: (a) bend the stickers inward to push the filter as close to the screen; (b) place 2 short high on the sides, 2 long low on the sides, and 2 short at the bottom => see photos)- it will darken the screen a bit, increasing brightness will do the trick but will use more battery

Wer oft im Zug unterwegs ist spürt immer wieder die neugierigen Blicke der Sitznachbarn.Die hochauflösenden LED-Displays ermöglichen (in diesem Falle LEIDER) einen sehr großen Seitenblickwinkel.Um das Zugucken oder Mitlesen des Displays zu erschweren oder gar komplett zu verhindern, hilft der Blickschutzfilter von 3M hervorragend.Endlich kann man wieder ungestört einen Brief schreiben oder der geschäftlichen Korrespondenz nachgehen.Ich benutze die Filter für mein Sony Vaio 13" und habe auch einen Filter für mein Macbook Pro 13" (in einem anderen Format) und bin sehr zufrieden.Abhängig vom Blickwinkel von hinten kann es sein, dass der hintere Sitznachbar trotzdem einen kleinen Teil des Bildschirms lesen kann - Stellt man die Bildscirmhelligkeit etwas herunter, sieht auch er nichts mehr. ;-)Das Anbringen des Filters mit kleinen Plastik-Aufklebern geht sehr einfach und ist wider Erwarten sogar absolut haltbar.Man kann den Filter zu Hause oder auf der Arbeit problemlos wieder aus den "Führungsschinen" nach oben herausziehen.Wer von den seitlichen neugierigen Blicke genervt ist, sollte sich einen 3M Blickschutzfilter zulegen. Wenngleich der Preis nach meinem Gefühl recht überzogen wirkt.

To begin with, I haven't used a privacy filter before outside of seeing them on screens at medical offices and the like, so I'm not sure what I was supposed to expect.That said, I am satisfied with the filter. I am using it on a 2nd gen (late 2010) MacBook Air 13" and it works fine. I've read this model doesn't work on the latest 2011 MBA models due to a different screen.At maximum brightness on my MBA a person sitting next to you on an airplane certainly could read your screen if they so desired (at least one half of it, text is unreadable on the half that's furthest from their view). However, simply decrease your screen brightness to about 50% and it would be nearly impossible to read text and very difficult to distinguish any graphics. More than an airplane seat away and the screen appears nearly black. Viewing the screen straight on is not too hard on the eyes, but there is a slight interlaced pattern on my MBA. Don't expect to retain the same crisp screen quality that you had without a filter... but I imagine most people use these for writing private documents occasionally and aren't graphic designers.Also, it's not obvious in the picture, but the filter has a small ______/ shaped notch at the top, this allows you to put a fingernail between the screen and filter to slide it off more easily, but about a 1.5x0.5cm notch at the very top of your screen will not be covered by the filter. This isn't an issue for me, as my toolbar is the only thing visible there, but I don't remember anything in the description about this.To attach the filter it comes with two approximately 4 x 3/8" clear adhesive pieces of a plastic, and six approximately 1 x 3/8" pieces. You attach these in whatever configuration you'd like to the edges of your screen, and the filter slides between these pieces and the screen. I used the two long ones on either side and the filter easily slides and stays against my screen. However, at least on my MBA, I could get away without any of these pieces and just sit the filter in the recess of the screen. It would fall out if I close the lid, but for only occasional use, that might be fine.4/5 stars. Incredibly easy to use, feels like a quality product, perfect fitment for my MBA. Would get 5 stars if I could keep my screen at full brightness and maintain a very narrow viewing angle.. but since I don't have much experience with privacy filters, I'm not sure this is possible.
