Privacy screen protector 3M PF21W for 21-inch displays, anti-glare privacy filter

3M PF21W is a privacy screen protector designed for 21-inch displays. The anti-glare privacy filter reduces reflections and limits the viewing angle to protect on‑screen information from side viewing while maintaining clear front-facing visibility. It attaches to the display surface to reduce glare and improve perceived screen clarity in bright environments, making it suitable for office desks, public workstations and home computer setups.

Advantages

The privacy filter limits lateral visibility to help prevent shoulder surfing and accidental information exposure without altering on-screen colors significantly when viewed from the front. Its anti‑glare surface reduces reflections from ambient light sources, improving legibility in well-lit areas. The thin, durable construction provides a protective layer against minor scratches and dust, while the attachment method allows for secure placement and easy removal when privacy is not required.

Suitable for

• Open-plan office monitors where confidential information is displayed
• Public kiosks, shared workstations and reception areas
• Home offices and study spaces requiring reduced side visibility
• Environments with strong ambient light where glare reduction is needed

How to use

Clean the display surface with a lint‑free cloth and an appropriate screen cleaner before applying the privacy screen.
