23.8-Inch Monitor Privacy Screen with Microlouver Technology, Anti-Glare Matte Finish, and Blue Light Reduction for 16:9 Desktop Displays
The 3M PF238W9B is a standard privacy filter for 23.8-inch monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The filter blacks out the display from side views beyond a 60-degree angle using 3M's microlouver technology, preventing visual access to on-screen content from anyone not seated directly in front of the screen. The PF238W9B fits a 20.77 in. x 11.69 in. viewing area and includes both adhesive strip and slide-mount tab installation options. The matte-finish privacy screen reduces glare and fingerprint visibility while providing blue light reduction to lower eye strain during extended desktop use.
The PF238W9B features a matte surface on both sides for consistent glare reduction regardless of which side faces out. The 23.8-inch 16:9 format matches the actual panel size of many monitors marketed as 24-inch displays, making accurate sizing critical when selecting a privacy filter. Slide-mount tabs allow tool-free removal and reinstallation for screen sharing, while adhesive strips provide a semi-permanent option for dedicated workstations. Scratch-resistant, fingerprint-resistant, and dust-resistant construction handles daily use. Made in the USA with a 1-year limited warranty.
Where the PF238W9B Fits
- Corporate workstations with 23.8-inch monitors where many "24-inch" business monitors actually measure 23.8 inches diagonally and require this specific filter size for proper coverage without overlap
- Healthcare and compliance environments where HIPAA and PCI mandates require visual privacy on all monitors displaying protected records, and correct filter sizing ensures complete screen coverage
- Financial services and HR departments where employee records, account data, and sensitive communications on 23.8-inch displays must be shielded from unauthorized viewing in open-plan offices
What the PF238W9B Delivers
- 60-degree privacy with side blackout: Microlouver technology transmits a clear image within a 60-degree cone directly in front of the screen. Outside that angle, the display appears black, preventing visual access to sensitive content on the 23.8-inch display.
- Dual matte finish for glare reduction: Matte on both sides to reduce glare from overhead lighting and bright environments. Fingerprint-resistant surface stays clean through daily handling in shared workstation setups.
- Adhesive strip and slide-mount installation: Slide-mount tabs grip the monitor bezel for tool-free removal and reinstallation. Adhesive strips provide a semi-permanent option for dedicated workstations where the filter stays in place.
- Blue light reduction without color distortion: Reduces blue light emission from the display to lower eye strain during extended use without shifting on-screen colors or affecting display accuracy.
- Sized for 23.8-inch 16:9 monitors: Covers a 20.77 in. x 11.69 in. viewing area on 23.8-inch widescreen desktop monitors. Measure the viewable display diagonal to confirm sizing before ordering.
