Privacy filter

by Mark Rowe

You’re looking at a digital screen? That’s a screen potentially displaying sensitive information. 3M has launched a High Clarity Privacy Filter that gives users view their screen, while helping to protect the privacy of sensitive information displayed.

The filter, available for monitors, laptops and tablets, provides an average 30 percent more clarity than standard 3M Black Privacy Filters, according to the product firm.

Jessica Walton, global business manager, 3M, said: “More workers are choosing displays and monitors with high resolutions for a vibrant viewing experience. The new 3M High Clarity Privacy Filter delivers our highest degree of screen clarity to date so workers can take full advantage of modern devices featuring high-resolution displays, full HD imagery, cutting-edge graphics cards, and glossy screens.”

According to 3M, the filter provides blackout privacy from side views outside a 60-degree viewing angle. This creates a side view barrier to prying eyes and visual hackers who try to capture sensitive, confidential and private information from screens. The filter reduces blue-light transmissions from screen displays by 35 percent, the makers say. The filter also gives screens an extra layer of protection against everyday dust and scratches.

3M is offering the filters for 14 monitors and laptops with screens ranging in size from 13 to 27 inches. A 3M Product Selector lets you find the privacy and protection product for your device. Visit www.3Mscreens.com.
