Kensington 2-way Removable Privacy Screen Filter for 20" Monitors 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve got a sensitive workspace and you’re tired of people seeing your screen at the side angle, this kind of Kensington 2‑way privacy filter is a sensible, “just works” purchase. The removable aspect is the real win in day-to-day office life: you can take it off for presentations/monitor swaps without turning it into a chore or worrying about permanent fitting. For £41.82 ex‑VAT, it’s decent value for a 20" 16:9 setup—especially if you’re standardising privacy across a team where you don’t want faff or bespoke installs.

That said, I’d only buy it if your viewing needs match the typical use-case: office heads-down work where you’re viewing mostly straight on. Privacy filters can noticeably darken the display and reduce colour/brightness, which can make spreadsheets and design work feel less “alive” than it should. Also, if you already use Windows privacy settings or you mostly work from your own desk with limited footfall, this may be overkill—£40+ is better spent on better monitor brightness or even physical desk layout. Buy it if you’re dealing with open-plan exposure; think twice if your job depends heavily on colour fidelity or you frequently need to share the screen with others.
