Kensington High Clarity Privacy Screen Filter for 15.6'' Laptops 16:9

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you want real privacy for a 15.6” laptop in an open-plan office, this kind of Kensington “high clarity” privacy filter is usually a safe buy. The upside is practical: it knocks down shoulder-surfing without making your screen look like a dim, grainy mess. In day-to-day use—emails, dashboards, spreadsheets—it’s one of the better options because the “privacy first, usability second” problem is less severe than on cheaper generic filters.

That said, £34.66 ex-VAT isn’t pocket change, so I’d only recommend it if you actually work in a setting where people can see your screen from the side. Privacy filters can also make viewing angles more finicky (especially if you sit slightly off-centre), and they’re another thing to install/clean on a regular basis—worth it for frequent travellers or office staff, less so for someone who sits well away from others. If you’re buying for a fleet, test one unit first to confirm it matches your team’s screen brightness and working angles, because that’s where “great on paper” sometimes disappoints.
