Kensington EQ Privacy Screen Filter for 14'' Laptops 16:10

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re trying to stop shoulder-surfing in open-plan offices, the Kensington EQ privacy filter is a solid “set it and forget it” option—especially if you’re frequently working in shared spaces. For a price of £31.09 ex-VAT, it’s good value compared with pricier branded privacy solutions, and Kensington’s filters are usually well-behaved in terms of fit and everyday handling. It’s the sort of purchase that pays back immediately for anyone dealing with sensitive spreadsheets, HR/finance data, or anything client-facing on a 14-inch 16:10 display.

That said, there are two reasons not to buy unless it matches your reality. First, privacy filters always reduce screen brightness and can slightly soften contrast/clarity, so if your users rely on crisp color (design, video, heavy viewing angles) it’ll annoy them. Second, these are most useful when you can’t control viewing angles—if your team sits behind screens or in private rooms, you may not need it. Overall: I’d recommend it for office-based admin/ops teams, consultants, and anyone in hot-desk environments; I wouldn’t bother for design-heavy roles or anyone who’s already unhappy with screen visibility.
