Kensington FP190 Privacy Screen for Monitors (19" 5:4) – Privacy Filter and Screen Protection

Protect sensitive information on your monitor while safeguarding the screen itself from scratches and damage with the Kensington FP190 Privacy Screen, expertly designed for 19" / 48.3 cm LCD monitors with a 5:4 aspect ratio. This privacy filter is ideal for close-quarters workspaces, shared desks, hot-desking environments, and reception areas where prying eyes could glimpse confidential data. By combining privacy technology with durable screen protection, the FP190 helps you maintain data security and extend the life of your display without sacrificing usability or aesthetics.

• Privacy by design: The FP190 narrows the viewing angle from the sides, meaning colleagues or passersby can’t clearly read your screen unless they are directly in front of it. This focused privacy enables you to work with sensitive data—financials, personnel records, or proprietary designs—without distractions or distractions from nearby observers. The filter preserves clarity for the primary user, so you can review details with confidence while maintaining a professional look in any office setting.
• Scratch protection and durability: The front surface acts as a protective shield, guarding your screen against scratches, scuffs, and everyday wear. Whether you’re moving between meetings, storing devices in a shared cart, or handling devices in busy workspaces, the FP190 keeps your monitor looking pristine, reducing the risk of cosmetic damage that can impact resale value or professional appearance.
• Anti-glare and anti-reflection performance: The FP190 features an anti-glare coating that minimizes reflections from overhead lighting and ambient sources. This results in crisper text, more accurate color perception, and less eye strain during long work sessions. Even in brightly lit environments, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable viewing experience with consistent readability across applications and documents.
• Easy, residue-free installation: Designed for quick, tool-free mounting, the FP190 attaches securely without adhesives or residue that could mar the screen after removal. The lightweight, low-profile design preserves your monitor’s aesthetics while enabling effortless privacy when needed and seamless reattachment when privacy is no longer required.
• Precision fit for 19" 5:4 monitors: The FP190 is tailored to standard 19" screens with a 5:4 aspect ratio, ensuring a snug fit that aligns with the display edges and leaves room for on-screen content without covering critical UI elements. Its slim profile preserves the monitor’s look and keeps desk setups clean and professional.

Beyond its core privacy and protection benefits, the FP190 is engineered to minimize disruption to your workflow. The filter sits flush with the screen surface, reducing glare while sustaining image clarity, so you won’t have to constantly adjust brightness or worry about color distortions. For professionals who handle highly sensitive data—whether in finance, healthcare, legal, or corporate environments—the FP190 provides a discreet, reliable safeguard that supports privacy compliance and everyday productivity. Its durable construction means you can rely on it for daily use, travel, and office life, while maintaining a crisp, high-contrast display that remains faithful to your original content.
