Kensington MagPro Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter for Laptops 15.6" (16:9)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Kensington MagPro magnetic privacy filter is the kind of add-on you buy when you actually do face-to-face work in open offices, on trains, or in customer-facing environments. The magnetic fit is the big practical win: no fiddly frame alignment, and it’s quick to remove and reattach when you’re switching between “privacy mode” and “normal viewing”. In day-to-day use, that saves hassle more than you’d think—especially if you regularly move desks or travel with the laptop.

That said, £66.56 ex-VAT is only “good value” if privacy is a genuine requirement, not a nice-to-have. Privacy filters can slightly dim the screen and make colours/text look a bit off depending on viewing angle, so if you’re doing design work, colour-critical reviews, or you rely on consistent brightness for spreadsheets and presentations, it may annoy you. I’d recommend it for office workers, sales, analysts in open-plan setups, or anyone handling sensitive data. I’d avoid it if your workplace already has proper screen positioning/privacy hoods, or if your job depends on accurate screen rendering—because you’re paying to trade image fidelity for visual restraint.
