If you’ve already got an HP Poly Studio E70/X70/X72/V72, this polarized filter is one of those “small accessory, big difference” buys—especially for meeting rooms with bright lighting, windows, or glossy surfaces. The practical value is reducing glare and reflections on the camera image, which makes the picture look more consistent without you having to change the room or lighting. At £36.80 ex‑VAT, that’s pretty reasonable if you’re getting complaints about washed-out footage or annoying reflections during calls.
That said, I wouldn’t bother unless you can actually see the problem: if your room lighting is already controlled and the camera feed looks fine, the improvement will be subtle and you may feel a bit underwhelmed for the spend. Also, make sure you’re pairing it with the correct Poly Studio models—these kinds of filters are great when they fit properly, and frustrating when they don’t line up neatly. Overall: a sensible add-on for businesses where image quality is being judged heavily (client-facing calls, training rooms, boardrooms), less worth it for low-stakes internal use where the current video is already acceptable.
