StarTech.com Magnetic Monitor Privacy Screen for 22" 16:10 Display, Removable Filter, Anti-Glare/Glossy Sides, Blue Light Reducing Screen Protector Film, TAA

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re already using a KVM setup or just sit in an open-plan office, a magnetic privacy screen for a 22" monitor is one of those “small change, big peace of mind” upgrades. For £70.82 ex‑VAT, I’d say it’s fair value *if* you genuinely need side privacy—think finance teams, support desks, HR, or anyone working with sensitive customer or employee data. The removable/filter style is the key benefit: you’re not stuck with a permanent frosted look if you need full brightness/clarity for certain work, and the anti-glare handling helps more than you’d expect in offices with overhead lighting.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this for teams who rely on colour-sensitive work (design, QA, some engineering workflows) or anyone who needs the sharpest possible text and contrast. Privacy films always trade a bit of clarity for screening, and blue-light reduction is mostly a comfort feature rather than a magic fix. Also double-check your monitor’s exact dimensions and bezel/frame fit—magnetic screens work great when they align cleanly, but if the fit is off you’ll end up with annoying edge gaps or a less-than-straight install.

**Buy it if:** you want quick deployable side privacy for 22" 16:10 screens in shared office spaces, and you value comfort/anti-glare. **Skip it if:** you’re colour-critical, you sit in a light-controlled environment where glare isn’t a problem, or you expect “no change” to viewing quality.
