Kensington 2-way Removable Privacy Screen Filter for 28" Monitors 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, £75 for a “privacy screen” that clips onto a 28" monitor is one of those accessories that’s either a lifesaver or a mild annoyance, depending on your setup. If you regularly work somewhere people can see over your shoulder (open-plan offices, shared desks, customer sites), this is a decent, no-drama way to reduce distraction and stop casual side-viewing—especially if you’re on spreadsheets, dashboards, or anything sensitive. Kensington’s build tends to be solid, and the “2-way removable” angle is helpful because you’re not committing to privacy mode all day; you can pop it off when you’re alone or need full viewing.

That said, this isn’t portable-dock value—this is privacy. If you’re thinking of it like a business-travel accessory, it’s probably not the right category at all: screen filters are fiddly to remove/fit, can collect fingerprints/dust, and can slightly affect brightness and perceived clarity depending on your monitor and lighting. Also, if your colleagues sit directly in front of you, privacy filters won’t help much—your threat is side angles, not face-to-face viewing. For the right buyer (desk work in a visibility-heavy environment), it’s worth it. For everyone else, it’s an optional buy that can feel overpriced once you’ve tried it for a week.
