Work privately in close quarters and high-traffic areas with 3M Privacy Filters. Designed specifically for the Apple 27-inch iMac, they employ the latest 3M technology to help keep your on-screen information private, your LCD display bright and clear, and your screen protected from the rigors of everyday use. 3M Privacy Filters have higher image clarity and quality than competitive blackout filters.* What’s more, they are proudly made in the USA and backed by a one-year warranty.

Helps Safeguard Sensitive Data

These days, sensitive information is increasingly sent and received in electronic form — making it more important than ever to protect your visual privacy. 3M Privacy Filters for the 27-inch iMac not only help maintain the security of your personal data; they can help you comply with your employer’s internal data protection policies.

Easy Application and Residue-Free Removal

3M’s state-of-the-art adhesive attachment system is designed specifically for sensitive display screens. Thin, optically-clear strips adhere the 3M Privacy Filter securely to the iMac screen, and can be repositioned or removed with zero residue. The adhesive strips are even washable, to refresh their adhesive quality. This ensures that, when kept clean, your 3M Privacy Filter will go on easy and come off clean — not just once, but hundreds of times.

Reversible

3M Privacy Filters are reversible, with a clear, glossy finish for highest clarity viewing on one side, and a matte finish on the other, for reduction in screen glare. When using the matte-finished side, 3M Privacy Filters help reduce screen glare when working in high ambient light environments, providing the privacy you need along with the readability you demand. The matte finish also helps hide smudges and fingerprints.

Exclusive 3M Technology

3M Privacy Filters utilize advanced microlouver technology to enable you to view private information without worrying about the prying eyes of those around you. Whether working with confidential business data or simply enjoying personal entertainment, you’ll see your display clearly while people at your sides see only a darkened screen.

Long-Lasting Protection

3M Privacy Filters for the iMac help safeguard your beautiful display with an abrasion-resistant coating designed to resist scratches and scuffs, as well as dust, dirt and grime.

Easy to Clean

All you need is a lint-free cloth to quickly and easily remove smudges and dust from your display. Designed to protect your iMac display, 3M Privacy Filters can be cleaned again and again without compromising screen clarity or reducing the amount of privacy and protection they offer.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I recently bought a new 27" ViewSonic monitor for work. I looked up the exact screen dimensions and this 3m filter was an absolutely perfect fit. 3M has another filter for a 27" monitor that has a slightly different size screen, which is what I ran into last time I bought my 24" monitor (when that filter came, I actually had to cut it slightly to fit, and you know that never works out completely right..) With this filter, I put the 'shiny side' toward me, which they say can be bad with glare (I barely notice it) but really enables YOU to see the screen incredibly clearly but unless you are directly in front of the monitor, NO ONE ELSE can see anything - even starting at approx a 25degree angle, it is darkened enough that you can't read anything on the screen. Past the 25degree angle, all anyone sees is a completely black screen. If I reversed it, with the shiny side toward the lcd and the duller side toward me, I would (supposedly) have less glare but the screen itself would appear a little darker. It's just a personal preference for each to decide for him/herself. I manage a law firm, and so almost anything I have open on my screen is confidential - including payroll information, or client escrow accounts, or whatever - but someone can be standing right next to my desk and not be able to see a thing. If you really need privacy, I can't recommend it highly enough. I would only advise that you carefully measure (or check the specs) any monitor so you can get the right fit - 3M gives you the exact measurements of each filter. Oh, and make sure you don't have it for your employees OR kids.. they need to be accountable! Too tempting to play solitaire, surf the web, or doing something they shouldn't if they know no one can see what they are doing! ;o)
