FAQ
What size monitor is the PF230W9B privacy filter designed for?
The PF230W9B is specifically designed for 23-inch widescreen LCD monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The filter dimensions are 20.1 inches wide by 11.3 inches high, matching the viewing area of compatible displays. It supports landscape orientation and is not intended for smaller or larger screens.
How does this privacy filter protect my screen content?
The filter creates a 'black out' effect that restricts visibility from side angles beyond approximately 60 degrees. This means anyone viewing your screen from the sides will see a darkened or obscured display, while you maintain clear visibility when seated directly in front. This technology prevents visual eavesdropping in open office environments.
What attachment methods does this filter support?
The PF230W9B offers two attachment options: adhesive strips and a slide mount system. The adhesive strips provide a secure, semi-permanent attachment, while the slide mount allows for easier removal and repositioning. Both methods maintain the filter's position without damaging your monitor's surface.
Does this filter help reduce eye strain?
Yes, the PF230W9B incorporates blue light reduction technology to help minimize digital eye strain during prolonged computer use. This feature works without distorting the natural colors of your display, allowing you to maintain color accuracy while potentially reducing eye fatigue from extended screen time.
Is the filter reversible, and what does that mean?
Yes, the filter is reversible, offering both matte and glossy finish options on opposite sides. The matte side helps reduce glare and fingerprints, while the glossy side provides a standard finish. You can choose which side faces outward based on your lighting conditions and preference for glare reduction versus standard appearance.
How durable is this privacy filter?
The PF230W9B is designed for durability with scratch-resistant, fingerprint-resistant, and dust-resistant properties. It can withstand hundreds of cleanings without degrading performance. Each unit undergoes 100% hand inspection for quality assurance, and the filter comes with a 1-year limited warranty for added confidence in its construction.
