3M PF238W9EM

Overview

The 3M PF238W9EM is a privacy filter designed for 23.8-inch monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio, providing an effective way to protect sensitive information on your screen. It limits the viewing angle to 60 degrees, ensuring that only the person directly in front of the display can see the content clearly, while others see a darkened screen. This makes it ideal for use in open offices, public spaces, or any environment where privacy is a concern.

The filter features the COMPLY Magnetic Attach system, which allows for quick and secure installation without adhesives, so it can be easily repositioned or removed without leaving residue. Its reversible design offers a matte side to reduce glare and fingerprints and a glossy side for enhanced image clarity, both incorporating blue light reduction to help reduce 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.
