Kensington Privacy Screen Filter for HP Elitebook 840 G5

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve ever sat in open-plan offices (or you do a lot of customer-facing work on the road), Kensington privacy screens are one of those “small spend, big sanity” buys. The £34.30 ex‑VAT price is reasonable for what you’re getting: a straightforward way to stop shoulder-surfing when you’re working on email, spreadsheets, or anything sensitive. For an HP EliteBook 840 G5 specifically, the appeal is that it’s the kind of thing you’ll actually fit properly and use daily—rather than fighting with ill-fitting generic filters.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re frequently presenting in groups or need wide viewing angles (privacy filters can make screens look darker and narrower depending on how you sit and where others are). Also consider whether you truly need privacy most of the time—if you’re mostly in a quiet office or working in a dedicated room, the benefit may feel marginal. Overall: this is a good value choice for UK B2B users who routinely work in shared spaces or travel, but it’s not ideal for high-visibility viewing or anyone who wants maximum brightness and flexibility.
