Kensington MagPro Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter for Monitors 23” (16:9)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re doing a lot of genuinely sensitive work in a shared office, the Kensington MagPro privacy filter is one of the more “set-and-forget” options. The magnetic fit is the big win here: it’s usually faster to align than clip-on screens, and it doesn’t feel like you’re wrestling with fiddly mounts every time you move it. For £115 ex-VAT, it sits in the sweet spot for businesses that want a professional solution without going down the route of cheaper filters that can be harder to keep straight and often end up with annoying light bleed or poor viewing angles.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this unless you’re sure about the use case. Privacy filters reduce screen clarity and can make colours look a bit duller or text a bit softer—fine for admin and spreadsheets, less ideal if your team cares about image work or you frequently need off-angle viewing (e.g., multiple people reading the same screen). Also, they’re only as “private” as the viewing distance and your layout; if colleagues sit close and directly in front, privacy is never absolute.

**Who should buy:** finance, HR, legal, and any admin/ops teams using open-plan desks where shoulder-surfing is a real concern. **Who should skip:** design teams, traders/analysts constantly scanning from different angles, and anyone who needs the sharpest possible image quality.
