AI-generated summary
If you need real privacy in a shared office, Kensington’s 2‑way removable filter is a solid, sensible option—especially at around £58 ex‑VAT. The “two-way” approach is the right kind of trade-off for B2B: people can’t easily read your screen from the side, but you can still work normally face-on. Where these filters usually disappoint is usability day-to-day (awkward fitting, poor clarity, annoying reflections). Kensington tends to be among the more straightforward brands to live with, and the removable angle is genuinely useful if you share desks, do training, or move monitors between rooms.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this unless you’re fairly confident your setup matches what you’re buying for. Privacy filters are one of those things that only feel “worth it” when they’re installed cleanly and sit properly over the active screen—if you get the alignment wrong, or if you’re frequently working off-axis (standing, team huddles, swivel desks), the privacy benefit quickly turns into a readability tax. It’s best for finance, HR, accounts, legal, and support roles where shoulder-surfing is a real concern, and less ideal for collaborative environments where you want colleagues to view the screen comfortably from angles.
Limited Viewing Angle
With a ±30° viewing angle, our privacy screen filters ensure only the person using the device will be able to see what’s on screen.
Anti-Glare and Blue Light Filter
Built-in anti-glare and blue light filters ease eye strain and reduce the chance of natural sleep pattern interruptions.
Touchscreen Compatible
Our privacy screen filters work with laptops and monitors with touchscreen functionality.
Effective Screen Protection
Adds an extra layer of physical protection to your screen, reducing the risk of scratches and other damage.
Two installation Options
Mounting tabs allow repeated removal and re-attachment, or adhesive tape for a cleaner look.
Reversible Viewing
One side has a matte finish to reduce glare and fingerprints. The other side is glossy and provides a clearer view of the screen.
