Kensington MagPro Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter for Monitors 24” (16:10)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Kensington MagPro privacy filter is one of the better “no-drama” options if you want to keep prying eyes out of your screen without permanently messing around with frames or adhesives. In practice, the magnetic setup is the big win for UK workplaces: you can fit it quickly, remove it for cleaner handovers/shared desks, and you’re less likely to end up with residue or alignment headaches than with some cheaper clip-ons. If you regularly work in open-plan offices or client-facing environments, it’s a sensible spend—especially at this size—because it actually solves the day-to-day problem rather than just looking tidy.

That said, £124.73 ex-VAT isn’t trivial, so it’s only “good value” if you have multiple desks/people who truly need privacy (finance, HR, legal, procurement, anyone handling sensitive data). Privacy filters always trade off usability: you’ll notice reduced brightness/colour performance and viewing angles get harsher, so if your work relies on accurate colour or wide-angle viewing (design, QA teams sharing screens), I’d avoid it or pilot first. For most office users who just want to stop casual shoulder-surfing, Kensington’s approach is solid—otherwise, spend money on training/access controls rather than paying for a filter everyone ends up removing.
