Kensington High Clarity Privacy Screen Filter for 23'' Monitors 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re sat in an open-plan office, sharing space with people who *will* glance over your shoulder, this Kensington privacy filter is a sensible buy. Kensington’s “high clarity” angle treatment is the key here: the image doesn’t get nearly as muddy as a lot of cheaper privacy screens, so it’s actually usable for day-to-day work (spreadsheets, docs, emails) rather than feeling like you’re permanently peering through frosted glass. At £65.87 ex-VAT for a 23" 16:9, it sits in the “worth it” bracket—especially if your monitor is a few feet away from others and you’re genuinely concerned about privacy.

Why you might not buy: privacy filters inevitably reduce viewing flexibility and can make brightness/contrast feel slightly flatter, even when the clarity is good. If you work in a well-seated private area, or you regularly collaborate face-to-face (where colleagues need to see the screen), you’ll feel the trade-off. Also, make sure you’re confident about the exact monitor size/aspect fit—when these don’t line up perfectly, the “privacy” effect can look uneven and annoyingly noticeable. Overall: buy it if your environment demands privacy and you want a better-than-cheap quality look; skip it if privacy isn’t a real issue or if screen sharing is frequent.
