Kensington EQ Privacy Screen Filter for 27'' Monitors 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Kensington’s EQ privacy screens are one of those “boring but useful” buys that actually make sense in real offices. The main value is simple: if your 27" monitor sits where people can glance at it from the sides, you’ll stop constant distractions and reduce the risk of shoulder-surfing. It’s especially worthwhile in shared spaces—open-plan desks, hot-desking environments, reception/support areas, or anywhere staff handle sensitive info (HR, finance, healthcare, legal). For the price (£81.55 ex‑VAT), you’re paying for decent fit and reliability rather than chasing gimmicky options that peel or sag.

That said, it’s not for everyone. Privacy filters usually darken the screen a bit and can reduce viewing clarity/contrast, so if your work relies on color-critical design, spreadsheets with tiny text, or you need to share your screen frequently with colleagues sitting off-angle, you’ll feel the trade-off. Also, if your monitor already has strong physical separation or you rarely have side viewers, you may be spending money for a marginal improvement. If you’re mostly worried about “someone’s going to take a look,” this is a sensible, low-drama way to address it—just go in knowing it won’t be as visually “clean” as the bare panel.
