Kensington 2-way Removable Privacy Screen Filter for 26" Monitors 16:10

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Kensington 2‑way removable privacy filter for a 26" 16:10 monitor is one of those “quietly sensible” purchases. If you routinely work in open-plan offices, shared control rooms, or anywhere people could glance sideways, it’ll noticeably reduce shoulder-surfing without you having to change how you work. Kensington’s filters are also generally well-finished and the removable aspect matters: you can take it off when you’re doing presentations, color work, or troubleshooting, and you’re not stuck with reduced brightness/contrast all the time.

That said, £72 ex‑VAT is only good value if you’re confident you’ll actually use it daily. Privacy filters are a bit of a trade-off: they can soften the picture and make the screen slightly harder to read at angles, so if your team uses the monitor from multiple viewing positions (or you use it for anything color-critical), you may end up annoyed. I’d buy this if your screen time is mostly head-on (you sit squarely in front of the monitor) and privacy is a real concern; I’d skip it if you’re in a normal private office, don’t need it consistently, or if you rely heavily on accurate viewing angles for design/QA.
