Kensington EQ Privacy Screen Filter for 15.6'' Laptops 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re in an office where people sit a bit too close (open-plan, shared desks, commuter spaces, support teams taking calls), Kensington’s 15.6" EQ privacy filter is the kind of “small spend, big peace of mind” purchase that actually pays off. The core benefit is straightforward: it reduces shoulder-surfing without forcing you to change how you work. For procurement teams, the real value is that it’s a known brand with a sensible fit for common laptop sizes, and you’re less likely to end up with annoying misalignment or awkward viewing when you deploy a few across a team.

That said, it’s not magic. Privacy filters do slightly dim the screen and can make colour/contrast look less natural, especially if you’re moving your head a lot or you rely on colour accuracy. If you’re a designer, do lots of visual QA, or you already use a monitor/keyboard setup where you can control viewing angles, you may not see enough benefit to justify the spend. At ~£34.66 ex-VAT, I’d buy it for admin, finance, field techs, call-centre staff, and anyone handling sensitive client data—but I’d think twice for roles where image fidelity is important or where you regularly view the screen from different angles.
