Kensington Privacy Screens

Protect Sensitive Data from Prying Eyes at Every Angle

Kensington privacy screens use micro-louver optical film to narrow the visible viewing angle so only the person seated directly in front of the display can read the content, blocking side-angle visual hacking in shared offices, clinics, and public spaces. The lineup spans laptop filters from 12.5 to 17 inches, desktop monitor filters from 19 to 34 inches, and tablet-specific cuts for iPad and Surface devices across the broader Kensington ecosystem of input devices, docking stations, and security accessories. Browse all brands and sizes in the full privacy screens category.

Kensington Privacy Screens for Every Use Case

• Healthcare and HIPAA compliance — hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies install Kensington FP-series filters on nursing-station monitors, check-in tablets, and portable medication carts to keep electronic health records invisible to passersby
• Financial services and trading floors — Kensington MagPro and snap-on privacy filters on teller workstations and advisor laptops prevent shoulder-surfing of account numbers and transaction data
• Legal offices and government agencies — privacy filters on courtroom laptops and conference-room monitors keep privileged documents and classified briefings out of sight during meetings
• Open-plan offices and coworking spaces — employees working within arm's reach of each other rely on Kensington privacy screens to keep HR dashboards, sales pipelines, and internal communications confidential
• Travel and remote work — Kensington laptop privacy filters block casual observers on airplanes, in hotel lobbies, and at coffee shops from reading emails and presentations over your shoulder

Choosing the Right Kensington Privacy Screen

Kensington organizes its privacy screen lineup by device type, attachment method, and viewing-angle restriction level. The FP-series covers standard laptop and monitor sizes with adhesive or tab mounting. The MagPro series uses magnetic attachment for MacBook and Surface devices, enabling tool-free installation and removal. Light-filter variants reduce blue light output by up to 22 percent while maintaining the privacy function, which benefits employees logging extended screen time in healthcare and dispatch environments.

Attachment Methods

Adhesive strips provide permanent or semi-permanent mounting for dedicated workstations. Slide-mount tabs let users snap the filter on and off in seconds for shared desks and hot-desking environments. Magnetic attachment is designed for MacBook and Surface devices with built-in magnetic bezels. Hanging tabs hook over the top bezel of a desktop monitor for quick, non-adhesive installation.

Sizing and Compatibility

Privacy screens are sized by diagonal measurement and aspect ratio. Kensington covers laptops at 12.5, 13.3, 14, 15.6, and 17 inches in 16:9 and 16:10 ratios, plus device-specific cuts for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Surface Pro, Surface Laptop, and ThinkPad. Monitor filters span 19 through 34 inches in standard, widescreen, and ultrawide aspect ratios. Tablet filters cover iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Air, and Surface Go models with precision cutouts for cameras and sensors.
