Kensington EQ Privacy Screen Filter for 24'' Monitors 16:10

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you do any kind of office work where “shoulders” are a real problem (open-plan desks, shared meeting rooms, contractors coming and going), Kensington’s EQ Privacy Screen is a solid, no-drama add-on. The big win with privacy filters is reducing accidental data exposure without having to change your whole workflow. In practice, it’s best for people who type things others shouldn’t see—finance, legal, HR, admin—especially when they’re regularly sitting with the screen angled toward other people.

That said, £70.84 ex-VAT isn’t cheap for a piece of plastic, and privacy filters always come with trade-offs: reduced brightness and a noticeable change in how colours/sharpness feel off-axis. If your monitor is already on the dim side, you’ll likely end up tweaking brightness and you may feel like you’re losing a bit of “pop.” I’d buy this only if privacy is genuinely important in your layout; if you just want “some privacy” or you spend most of your time directly in front of the screen, there are cheaper ways to get 80% of the benefit.

Who it’s for: teams in shared/open offices that handle sensitive info and want predictable privacy from a reputable brand. Who should skip: anyone doing colour-critical work, those who frequently view the screen from angles (or constantly move screens around), or buyers chasing value above all else.
