Targus ASF14W9EU display privacy filter 35.6 cm (14")

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Targus ASF14W9EU privacy filter is a sensible “make-do” upgrade if you do a lot of open-office work, shared desks, or customer-facing calls where passers-by can easily see your screen. At £26.20 ex-VAT, you’re paying for something that typically saves you from awkward glances and (more importantly) keeps sensitive data out of sight without replacing hardware. For most standard 14-inch laptops, it’s the kind of low-effort, low-risk protection that just works—especially if you’re travelling or bouncing between meeting rooms.

That said, don’t expect miracles: privacy filters almost always come with a trade-off in brightness and viewing comfort, and they can make color/contrast look a bit “flatter” at certain angles. Also, installation matters—if it’s not aligned properly or you’re frequently docking/undocking, you may end up wishing you’d gone for something more premium or permanently mounted. I’d buy this if you want practical privacy on a budget for occasional-but-regular use; I wouldn’t bother if you rely heavily on accurate color work or you hate any reduction in screen clarity, or if you’re constantly changing screen setups.
