Kensington FP170 Monitor Privacy Screen 17 inch 5:4

Fits 17 inch 5:4 monitors

The Kensington FP170 privacy screen attaches to a 17 inch display with a 5:4 aspect ratio. It limits the viewing angle so only the person directly in front can read the screen. The filter is sold as a single unit and weighs .6. It is designed for office environments where on-screen data must stay confidential.

Viewing angle restriction applies

The privacy layer narrows the visible zone to roughly thirty degrees either side of centre. Anyone outside that cone sees a darkened screen. Brightness and colour fidelity are reduced for the primary user as a trade-off. The filter does not block glare or blue light beyond the inherent dimming effect.

Replaces makeshift privacy methods

It upgrades from taping paper or using removable film that leaves residue. The jump is worth it when visual privacy is required daily and a clean, repeatable fit matters. It is not suited for monitors with a different diagonal or aspect ratio, nor for users who need full brightness for colour-critical work.
