See a world of advantages in 3M Computer Filters Anti-Glare Sunshine and lighting cause glare problems for most computer monitors, often leading to eyestrain, headaches and lost productivity. 3MAnti-Glare Computer Filters help prevent these problems, caused by computer monitor use, by reducing screen glare up to 99%. 3M filters also enhance screen contrast for easier, more comfortable viewing especially important for reading text and numbers, and even more important for graphics. Anti-Radiation 3M Computer Filters with the anti-radiation feature help monitors meet radiation guidelines by blocking up to 99.9% of the ELF/VLF electric field (E-field) radiation when properly grounded. Protection LCD screens are very delicate and easily damaged. Even heavier glass CRT screens can become scratched after constant use. Either of these can be very costly to replace. 3M Computer Filters are a practical and cost effective way to protect screens from scratches, fingerprints, splashes or more serious damage. Filters come in a variety of sizes to fit most monitors. Identity Theft According to 2003 statistics, identity (ID) theft is a foreseeable threat to businesses and individuals; your company s confidential files could be at risk. ID theft victims: 9.9 million Economic losses: $53 billion Most common types of ID theft: -Misuse of existing credit account: 52% -Fraudulently opening a new credit account: 33% -Misuse of non-credit account (bank, utility): 15% Source: Federal Trade Commission Greater Flexibility An extra set of LCD hanger arms allows many 3M Computer Filters normally meant for CRT screens to be used with LCD desktop monitors as well. Simply remove the existing CRT hanger arms and snap the shorter LCD arms in place. Available in black or putty. Lifetime Warranty We warrant your 3M Computer Filter against defects in materials and manufacture for as long as you own it. We ll gladly replace any defective product.

Why factory coatings aren t enough to combat glare s negative effects Though many computer manufacturers give their screens an anti-glare treatment, it may not be enough. To combat the discomfort and low productivity that can result from screen glare, you need 3M filters to date, the only ones proven to elevate monitor performance in stringent ISO 9241-7 compliance tests.
