Kensington High Clarity Privacy Screen Filter for 22'' Monitors 16:10

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you genuinely work in an open-plan office or near people who will absolutely glance over your shoulder, this kind of Kensington privacy filter can be worth the money. The big win with Kensington filters is consistency: the “viewing angle” effect tends to feel uniform across the screen, and the High Clarity angle/brightness balance usually keeps your display usable rather than turning it into a dim, washed-out panel. At ~£65 ex-VAT for a 22" 16:10 setup, it’s not bargain-bin pricing, but it’s also not in the “specialist enterprise tax” bracket either—this feels like a sensible mid-tier choice for business users who want fewer privacy headaches.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re mainly working in a meeting room, on a flexible hybrid setup, or if you frequently share your screen. Privacy filters always reduce off-angle readability, and they can make colour and contrast look slightly different from how you’re used to—fine for solo work, annoying when you’re collaborating. Also, double-check that your monitor is a true 22" 16:10; if you’re slightly off on size or bezel design, fit and alignment get fiddly fast. Bottom line: buy it if privacy is a real requirement and you’re using the monitor mostly head-on; skip it if screen sharing/colour-sensitive work or shared desk setups are your normal day-to-day.
