Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve got sensitive client data in view — think finance, HR, admin desks, or anyone working in open-plan offices — this is a sensible, low-effort add-on. The big win with Kensington’s privacy filters is that they’re removable and straightforward to live with day-to-day, so you’re not committing to a permanent “screen tint” look all the time. For £35 ex-VAT, you’re basically paying for peace of mind and reduced shoulder-surfing risk without having to replace hardware.

That said, privacy filters aren’t magic. They can slightly affect how bright/clear the screen feels, and they’re most effective when people are roughly in your viewing direction (not perfectly side-on, not from extreme angles). Also, make sure your laptop really matches the intended screen size/aspect — getting that wrong is the quickest way to end up with a filter that doesn’t sit right or doesn’t do much. If your workplace has lots of casual “glance” viewing, it’s a good buy; if you mainly work alone or your screens are rarely visible to others, you might not notice enough benefit to justify the spend.
