Kensington EQ Privacy Screen Filter for 23.8'' Monitors 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re working in an open-plan office (or anywhere with nosy sightlines), Kensington’s EQ Privacy Screen is a sensible, “just works” buy. The main value is the quick improvement to everyday discretion: it narrows viewing angles so people off to the side can’t easily read what’s on your screen, without you having to faff with blinds or relocating desks. For a 23.8-inch monitor, the fit matters, and Kensington generally gets that part right—privacy filters are often a bit of a gamble if you don’t match the size and format properly.

That said, £70+ ex-VAT isn’t cheap in the grand scheme of accessories, and privacy filters do come with trade-offs. You can expect some reduction in brightness/clarity and a slightly “dimmer” screen feel, which may annoy anyone doing color-sensitive work or graphics-heavy tasks. So: I’d recommend this for office productivity, finance/HR/admin roles, trading desks that aren’t colour-critical, and hot-desking environments where screen visibility is a compliance headache. I’d skip it (or at least trial first) if your users rely on accurate visuals—design, imaging, video editing—because the loss of visual punch is the main downside.
