Kensington High Clarity Privacy Screen Filter for 27'' Monitors 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Kensington’s High Clarity privacy filter is one of those “worth it if you truly need it” accessories. The big win is that it keeps the screen readable for people sitting directly in front, while making it much harder to view from the sides—useful in open-plan offices, shared desks, or anywhere you’re regularly working with sensitive data. At £81.55 ex-VAT it’s not cheap, but it’s also not the most expensive privacy-filter tier, so you’re paying for something that’s generally meant to last and look decent in day-to-day business use.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if your team mostly uses monitors at odd angles (or you frequently share your screen with someone beside you who needs to read it). Privacy filters can reduce contrast and affect perceived brightness, and the “correct viewing zone” is real—if you sit slightly off-centre, you’ll feel it. Also, if you don’t have an actual privacy problem, it’s an unnecessary cost. This one is best for IT/admins, finance, HR, or anyone handling confidential customer or employee information in an office environment where desks aren’t truly separated.
