Kensington MagPro Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter for Monitors 27” (16:9)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you work with sensitive data in an open-plan office, the Kensington MagPro privacy filter is one of the more sensible options to buy. The big win is the magnetic attachment—no fiddly clips digging into your bezel, and it’s quicker to remove or re-seat if you move desks or switch monitors. The “privacy” effect is also pretty practical: it cuts down casual side-glances without making the screen feel completely unusable for the person sitting straight on, which is where cheaper privacy films often fall apart.

That said, £152.59 ex-VAT is only good value if you’ll actually use it every day. Privacy filters tend to be a trade-off: you usually lose a bit of brightness and add glare risk depending on lighting, and they can be annoying if you frequently share your screen with people viewing from angles. If your workplace already has good physical privacy (cubicles, partitions, or you rarely have off-axis viewers), you might not justify the cost. I’d recommend this for compliance-conscious teams, accountancy/legal/HR roles, and anyone dealing with customer data on a 27” 16:9 monitor—less so if you’re mostly doing low-sensitivity work or remote video calls where screen visibility matters from multiple angles.
