Kensington MagPro Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter for Monitors 21.5” (16:9)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Kensington’s MagPro magnetic privacy screens are one of the easier “fit and forget” ways to stop side-on snooping, and the magnetic approach is the big win. For an office with shared desks, hot-desking, or meeting rooms where you don’t want to faff about with sticky adhesives or complicated frames, they’re genuinely convenient—pop it on, flip it away when you need clarity, and you’re done. At £99.25 ex-VAT, it’s not cheap, but it’s broadly in line with what you pay for reputable privacy filters that actually stay aligned and don’t feel flimsy.

That said, don’t expect miracles: privacy filters always come with trade-offs in brightness and viewing comfort. If you’re doing colour-critical work (design, editing, reporting dashboards with lots of charts) or you rely on peak screen clarity for long reading sessions, you may find the screen looks a bit dimmer/softer and the “sweet spot” for viewing can be narrower. This is best for admin teams, call centres, finance back offices, HR, and anyone dealing with sensitive data where privacy is the priority over visual perfection. If you mostly work solo at your desk and privacy isn’t a concern, you’re probably better spending that money on better lighting/monitoring controls rather than a filter.
