Kensington EQ Privacy Screen Filter for 15.6'' Laptops 16:10

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re working in an office open-plan setup or on trains, Kensington’s EQ privacy screen is one of those “small purchase, big peace” accessories. The value is in how quickly it improves day-to-day discretion—people off to the side can’t casually read what’s on your screen, while you get usable contrast without the monitor looking weirdly dim. For the price (£34.66 ex-VAT), it’s reasonably priced for a branded filter, and you’re less likely to end up with a flimsy, hard-to-align film than with some cheaper generics.

That said, it’s not a universal win. Privacy filters reduce viewing angles and can make the screen feel a touch darker, so if you regularly need to show content to colleagues in the room, or you’re editing colour-critical material, this is probably the wrong tool. Also, buying one for a 15.6" 16:10 laptop makes sense only if you’re sure you’ve got the exact fit—measure twice, because re-buying is annoying. Who should buy? Anyone handling sensitive data in shared spaces who wants a straightforward, low-fuss layer of protection without changing their whole workflow.
