3M PF250W9B display privacy filter 63.5 cm (25") Monitor Frameless display privacy filter

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you work in an open-plan office or sit close to desks/clients, a privacy filter like the 3M PF250W9B is one of those purchases that actually feels immediately worth it. It noticeably narrows side-viewing angles, so you’re not constantly “performing” your screen content. At £90 ex-VAT for a 25" class filter, that’s reasonable value for a business use-case—especially if you’re protecting sensitive spreadsheets, dashboards, or screen shares without needing anything more heavy-duty than a screen attachment.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it for everyone. If your team uses the screen at very wide viewing angles (e.g., multiple people standing off-axis), privacy filters can introduce a dimmer, slightly blurrier feel—and they can frustrate casual collaboration. Also, frameless screens can be a bit fiddly depending on the bezel/edge thickness; if your monitor mounting tolerances are tight, you’ll want to be sure the fit is perfect or you’ll end up with light bleed and a less-than-crisp result. Overall: buy it if confidentiality matters and people generally view the screen head-on; skip it if you value maximum brightness/clarity for shared viewing more than privacy.
