3M HC220W1B

Overview

The 3M HC220W1B is a privacy filter designed specifically for 22-inch widescreen monitors with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It protects sensitive information by narrowing the viewing angle to 60 degrees, so only the person directly in front of the screen can see the content clearly. This filter enhances image clarity by nearly twenty percent compared to standard privacy films, preserving the vibrant colors and sharp details of your display while reducing blue light exposure to ease eye strain during extended use.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
