Kensington FP230W9 Privacy Screen for 23" Widescreen Monitors (16:9)

The Kensington FP230W9 Privacy Screen is a purpose-built shield for your 23" widescreen monitors that protects confidential information while delivering a premium viewing experience. Engineered for 16:9 displays, this privacy filter helps you work securely in open offices, coworking spaces, or shared environments where sensitive data needs to stay private. Beyond privacy, it also acts as a protective layer against scratches and fingerprints, keeping your screen looking pristine for longer. With a thoughtful design that minimizes glare and enhances comfort, the FP230W9 is a reliable solution for professionals who demand privacy without compromising on image clarity, color accuracy, or productivity.

• Two-way privacy protection for 23" monitors: The FP230W9 uses a sophisticated privacy filter that narrows viewing angles from the sides, making on-screen content visible only to someone directly in front of the display. This lightweight, non-intrusive filter is tailored for 23" widescreen displays with a 16:9 aspect ratio, ensuring you can work securely in busy environments such as open-plan offices, airports, or meeting rooms. When you’re seated directly in front of your screen, you’ll enjoy crisp text, accurate colors, and vivid imagery, while colleagues or passersby won’t be able to easily read sensitive data on your monitor. This balance between privacy and clarity helps protect client information, payroll data, financial figures, and other confidential material without hindering day-to-day tasks.
• Scratch- and fingerprint-resistant coating: The FP230W9 is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. The durable coating resists smudges, fingerprints, and micro-abrasions that can degrade screen quality over time. With this protective layer, your 23" monitor remains easy to clean and maintain, and the protective surface helps preserve the original image fidelity. The result is a screen that not only looks cleaner but also maintains consistent brightness and contrast, making it easier to review documents, spreadsheets, and design work that require precise color representation.
• Anti-glare technology for all lighting environments: Reflections from overhead lights or sunlight can reduce screen readability and contribute to eye strain. The FP230W9 features an anti-glare, matte finish that diffuses reflections and minimizes glare across a range of lighting conditions. Whether you’re near a window, under fluorescent lighting, or juggling multiple monitors, this privacy screen reduces hotspots and allows you to view content comfortably for longer periods. The result is sharper text, more comfortable viewing, and fewer distractions when you’re focusing on complex tasks like data analysis, code reviews, or graphic design adjustments.
• Effortless installation with no residue: Designed for quick, tool-free setup, the FP230W9 attaches securely to most 23" widescreen displays. It’s engineered for easy alignment and stable positioning, so you can install or remove the filter without leaving sticky residue on your screen. This makes it ideal for hot-desking scenarios, shared workstations, and environments where monitors are frequently swapped or reconfigured. When it’s time to clean or reposition the filter, you can do so without specialized equipment, saving time and preserving the aesthetic of your workstation.
• Designed for practical office and everyday use: The FP230W9 balances privacy with usability. It is finely tuned to avoid obstructing essential icons, on-screen controls, or taskbars, so you can navigate software, check notifications, and manage workflows without constantly readjusting the screen. With a slim profile that doesn’t dominate the display’s edges, this privacy screen integrates seamlessly into professional workstations, conference rooms, and home offices. It’s a versatile accessory for professionals who handle sensitive documents, browse confidential information, or collaborate in shared spaces where maintaining privacy and comfort is essential.

• Power on your monitor and test for any light bleed or misalignment. Wipe the surface again if necessary to remove any fingerprints from installation. Your privacy screen is ready for use and should provide reliable privacy during work sessions, meetings, or shared workspace usage.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is the Kensington FP230W9 compatible with all 23" monitors?
  A: It is designed for 23" widescreen monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. If you’re unsure about fit, compare the monitor’s dimensions to the filter’s footprint and confirm that the screen width and height align with the FP230W9’s coverage to avoid obstruction of icons or controls.
• Q: Does the privacy screen affect color accuracy or brightness?
  A: The FP230W9 is engineered to preserve on-axis color fidelity and brightness when viewed directly, while providing privacy from the sides. Some perceived brightness or color shift may occur if you observe the screen at an extreme angle, which is a natural characteristic of privacy filters.
• Q: Can I remove the privacy screen without leaving residue?
  A: Yes. The design emphasizes easy, residue-free removal. When you’re ready to take it off, simply detach the filter following the product’s removal guidelines and clean the monitor surface if needed.
• Q: Will this filter protect against scratches and fingerprints?
  A: The FP230W9 includes a scratch- and fingerprint-resistant coating to reduce wear and maintain a clean appearance between cleanings. It is not a substitute for rugged screen protection in extreme environments, but it does offer durable everyday protection.
• Q: How does privacy work in open or shared spaces?
  A: Privacy filters like the FP230W9 limit side visibility so sensitive information isn’t easily viewed by colleagues or bystanders. In busy offices or shared desks, this helps reduce the risk of accidental data exposure when you step away from your workstation or when you’re working in common areas.
