Advanced Microlouver Privacy Technology
The 3M PF170W1B uses exclusive microlouver technology to create an invisible 60-degree safe viewing zone. When viewed from outside this angle, the screen fades to black starting at 30 degrees, ensuring on-screen data is visible only to those directly in front of your laptop. This makes it ideal for privacy-sensitive work environments, travel, or any public setting where shoulder surfing is a concern.
Reversible Matte and Glossy Surfaces
Choose between two viewing experiences with the reversible design. The glossy side delivers pristine image clarity and vibrant colours, perfect for presentations and media viewing. The matte side reduces reflections and glare in bright lighting conditions while helping to hide fingerprints, making it ideal for office environments with overhead lighting or outdoor use.
Eye Comfort and Screen Protection
This privacy filter reduces 35% of blue light transmission from your display, helping to minimise eye strain during long work sessions. The durable poly film construction also protects your valuable laptop screen from scratches, dirt, debris, and fingerprints, extending the life of your display.
Perfect Fit for 17 Inch Widescreen Laptops
Designed specifically for 17 inch widescreen laptops with 16:10 aspect ratio. The frameless design ensures edge-to-edge coverage without adding bulk. To ensure proper fit, measure the viewable width and height of your laptop screen (excluding the frame) and choose a filter that matches your exact measurements or is slightly smaller.
