3M PF230W9B

Overview

The 3M PF230W9B is a privacy filter designed specifically for 23-inch monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It narrows the viewing angle to about 60 degrees, allowing only the person directly in front of the screen to see the content clearly while protecting sensitive information from side glances. This filter also reduces blue light exposure, helping to minimize eye strain during extended use without compromising color accuracy or image clarity. Its reversible design offers both a glossy side for sharp detail and a matte side to reduce glare and fingerprints, making it adaptable to different lighting conditions and user preferences.

This flexibility makes it easy to integrate the filter into various environments, from busy offices to home setups.

This privacy filter is well suited for open office layouts, shared workstations, healthcare reception areas, and public spaces like libraries or cafés where protecting on-screen data is essential. It also benefits professionals who spend long hours in front of their monitors, such as designers and analysts, by reducing blue light exposure and maintaining color accuracy. The filter’s durable design and easy cleaning make it practical for daily use in demanding environments.

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.
