Kensington Laptop Privacy Screen Filter 2-Way Removable 18.5" Wide 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £37.73 ex-VAT, Kensington’s 2-way removable privacy filter is a sensible buy if you regularly work in open-plan offices, trains, or shared desks and you want quick side-browsing protection without committing to a permanent screen mod. It’s the right kind of “small expense, big peace of mind” product: you get practical privacy at a price that won’t have procurement people sweating. The fact it’s removable matters too—when you travel or use a second monitor setup, you’re not stuck with something that’s always on.

That said, it’s not magic. Privacy filters can slightly affect brightness and clarity, and they tend to make screens feel a bit “warmer” or less crisp—especially at awkward viewing angles. If your team relies on color-critical work, frequent screen sharing, or you’re constantly swapping between meeting rooms where everyone can sit directly in front of you, you may be better off skipping the filter. Who should buy it: admin, finance, HR, sales, support desks—anyone whose laptop screen contains sensitive data and who sits close to coworkers. Who should think twice: designers, photographers, and anyone who needs the absolute best image fidelity.
