Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Kensington’s anti-glare + blue-light privacy filter is one of those products that *sounds* better than it often feels in day-to-day work. The £83-ish ex-VAT price is pretty steep once you factor in the fact it’s essentially a sacrificial “film” you’re sticking on your monitor—so you only really win if you genuinely need shoulder-surfing protection. If your environment is open-plan (or you frequently take calls in shared spaces), the privacy effect can be worth it; if you’re mostly working at home or in a secure office, you may not notice enough benefit to justify the cost.

My honest take: the anti-glare helps if your screen lighting is annoying, but it usually comes with trade-offs—reduced brightness/contrast and slightly altered colour perception. For content work (photo/video, design, data visualisation where colour accuracy matters), that’s a reason to pause. For normal office use—emails, spreadsheets, CRM, admin, coding—where “good enough and protected” beats “perfect image fidelity,” it makes more sense. If your monitor is frameless and you’re careful about alignment, it can work smoothly; if you change monitor models often or hate reapplying/adjusting, you’ll likely get frustrated.

**Who should buy:** anyone who handles sensitive info in a visible space and wants a simple, low-effort control without buying a whole new display setup. **Who shouldn’t:** teams doing colour-sensitive work, anyone sensitive to screen brightness/clarity, or buyers who don’t actually need privacy (glare alone usually isn’t worth this money).
