Kensington 2-way Removable Privacy Screen Filter for 22" Monitors 16:10

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re regularly dealing with people walking past desks—or you’ve got sensitive spreadsheets, accounts data, or client work on a 22" screen—Kensington’s removable privacy filter is a sensible, low-drama upgrade. The “2‑way” approach is what you want in open-plan offices because it reduces shoulder-surfing from the sides while still letting the user see normally. Kensington also generally makes these feel like proper workplace accessories rather than flimsy add-ons, and the removability is genuinely useful if you share the monitor, present, or occasionally need a clear view for a meeting.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this purely for “security theatre.” Privacy filters can make screens dimmer/softer and can introduce a noticeable trade-off in viewing comfort—especially if you sit off-angle or if your room lighting is harsh. Also, filters are only as good as their fit: if your monitor isn’t a very close match to the filter’s target format, you’ll end up with worse image quality than you bargained for. At around £58 ex‑VAT, it’s fair value for an office that needs privacy consistently, but if you’re mostly working alone or can solve the issue with monitor placement (or screen hoods), you’ll probably be happier spending the money elsewhere.
