The 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter is a 509 x 286mm micro-louver sheet for 16:9 widescreen monitors, available at Mascom International for KSh 5,000. It is brand new and sealed in its pack, unbranded, and finished in black. The 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter keeps your screen clear to you while anyone about 30 degrees off to the left or right sees a dark panel. Its matte face also cuts glare from windows and ceiling lights. Mascom International stocks it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and our technicians fit it at the counter at no extra cost.
Built for accountants, lawyers, HR officers, bank staff and receptionists across Kenya, the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter answers a common office problem. Open-plan floors in Upper Hill and Westlands put desks shoulder to shoulder, and walk-in clients often stand right beside the person serving them. That leaves payslips, KRA iTax returns, medical notes and client contracts on view to anyone passing. With the filter fitted, the person in the chair reads everything normally, while colleagues and visitors at the side see only a dark sheet. It lifts off without residue when you need to share the screen in a meeting.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell privacy filters in a sealed sleeve and leave sizing to guesswork, Mascom International measures your monitor and fits the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter at the Kimathi Street counter as part of the price. Customers across Nairobi tell us the fitting service is what convinced them, because a filter even slightly too wide never sits flat. Bring your monitor to the store, or order the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter for pay-on-arrival delivery and attach it yourself with the supplied tabs. Send us the lit screen width and height on WhatsApp first, and we will confirm the match.
Common Questions About the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter
How much is the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter in Kenya?
The 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter costs KSh 5,000 at Mascom International on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the filter sheet, its mounting tabs, a cleaning cloth, fitting by our technicians at the counter and a 6-month warranty. Delivery anywhere in Kenya is pay-on-arrival, so you pay only once the filter is in your hands. The 23.8-inch Monitor Privacy Filter costs the same KSh 5,000, while the 22-inch Monitor Privacy Filter 474 x 297mm is KSh 1,000 less at KSh 4,000.
How do I check that the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter fits my monitor?
Measure the lit picture area of your monitor, not the plastic frame, and compare it with the filter's 509 x 286mm size. Switch the screen on, then run a tape measure across the width and down the height of the glowing area. If your numbers land within a few millimetres of 509 x 286mm, the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter is your match. Not sure? Send the measurements or a photo of the model label on the back of the monitor to +254 708 852 521 on WhatsApp, and our team will confirm before you pay.
What is the difference between the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter and the 23.8-inch Monitor Privacy Filter?
The 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter measures 509 x 286mm, while the 23.8-inch Monitor Privacy Filter measures 527 x 297mm, making it 18mm wider and 11mm taller. Both are 16:9 widescreen cuts, both cost KSh 5,000 at Mascom International, and both use the same micro-louver film and tab mount. The only real decision is your panel size. Pick the 23-inch for monitors sold as 23-inch class. Pick the 23.8-inch for monitors with a 23.8-inch panel, which includes many models marketed as 24-inch. Your tape measure settles it.
How wide is the viewing angle with the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter fitted?
With the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter fitted, your screen stays readable within a cone of about 60 degrees straight ahead. From roughly 30 degrees off centre on either side, the picture turns dark and unreadable. That is two-way privacy: the colleague on your left and the visitor on your right are both blocked. Someone standing directly behind your chair, looking over your shoulder from nearly the same angle as you, can still see the screen, so position your desk with that in mind.
Does the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter cope with bright, dusty Nairobi offices?
Yes, the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter handles typical Nairobi office conditions well, because its matte anti-glare face softens reflections from windows and fluorescent tubes. Offices along Mombasa Road and in Industrial Area pick up dust quickly during the dry months, and the supplied cleaning cloth removes it without scratching. The filter also takes the fingerprints and dust that would otherwise land on the panel itself. Wipe it dry rather than spraying liquid on it, and lift it off the tabs for a deeper clean.
Who should buy the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter, and who should skip it?
Buy the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter if you work on a 23-inch 16:9 monitor and handle salaries, client accounts, patient details or passwords where others can see. It suits bank tellers processing M-Pesa and cash deposits, accountants, legal secretaries and front-desk staff. Skip it if you regularly share your screen with people seated beside you, such as designers reviewing work with clients, because the side blackout gets in the way. Skip it too if your monitor is a 24-inch class model; the 24-inch Monitor Privacy Filter 531 x 298mm will fit better.
Does the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter make my screen dimmer?
From straight ahead, the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter makes the picture slightly dimmer, because the micro-louver film blocks light travelling at an angle. Most users raise monitor brightness a step or two to compensate. Text, spreadsheets and email stay sharp for the person in front. Colour-critical work such as photo editing is better done with the filter lifted off, which takes seconds since it mounts on slim tabs along the bezel rather than glue across the panel.
Can I take the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter off and put it back later?
Yes, the 23-inch Monitor Privacy Filter lifts off and goes back on as often as you need, and it leaves no residue on the screen. The slim mounting tabs sit on the bezel, not the display, so the sheet slips out of them and back in. Many users remove it for team presentations or a Zoom screen share, then refit it before opening payroll. Keep it flat in a drawer or document folder while it is off the monitor, so the film does not bend or crease.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Privacy Performance
- Micro-louver privacy film — tiny slats inside the sheet block light travelling sideways, so only the person sitting in front can read the screen.
- Roughly 60-degree readable cone — anyone more than about 30 degrees off centre sees a dark, unreadable panel instead of your work.
- Two-way privacy — blocks viewers on both the left and the right, so desk neighbours on either side see nothing useful at all.
- Matte anti-glare face — diffuses reflections from windows and office lights, which eases eye strain through long spreadsheet and email sessions.
- Straight-ahead clarity — text, numbers and email stay sharp for the seated user, with a small brightness drop you can offset in monitor settings.
- Removable by design — the sheet lifts away without residue, so you can share the screen in a meeting and refit it straight afterwards.
Compatibility and Sizing
- Sheet size 509 x 286mm — matches the lit picture area of 23-inch class monitors, measured as width by height in millimetres.
- 16:9 widescreen cut — the same shape as Full HD 1920 x 1080 office monitors, the most common display shape on Kenyan office desks.
- Standalone monitors and all-in-ones — suits external office monitors and all-in-one desktops that carry a 23-inch 16:9 picture area.
- Not for 23.8-inch panels — those need the 527 x 297mm sheet, because an 18mm width gap is too large for a clean fit.
- Measure before ordering — tape the glowing area's width and height with the monitor switched on, then compare your figures with 509 x 286mm.
- Model check on WhatsApp — send a photo of the monitor's rear label and our team confirms the fit before you make any payment.
Build and Finish
- Black colour — the filter's dark tone blends with standard black monitor bezels, so it looks tidy on a reception counter or office desk.
- Slim mounting tabs — small tabs attach along the bezel, leaving the display surface itself completely free of glue or sticky film.
- No adhesive across the panel — removing the filter leaves no residue, so the monitor looks exactly as it did before fitting.
- Protective layer — the sheet sits in front of the panel and takes the fingerprints and dust that would otherwise land on the screen.
- Matte surface — shows fewer smudges than a glossy finish and wipes clean in seconds with the cleaning cloth supplied in the pack.
- Unbranded construction — the same micro-louver film and tab system Mascom International fits across its monitor and laptop privacy filter range.
Inclusions and Service
- Privacy filter sheet — one black 509 x 286mm micro-louver panel, cut to sit within the lit area of a 23-inch monitor.
- Mounting tabs — a set of slim tabs for attaching the sheet along the monitor bezel and lifting it off when needed.
- Cleaning cloth — removes dust and fingerprints from the matte face without scratching the film or leaving lint behind.
- Free counter fitting — Mascom technicians measure your monitor and attach the filter at our Kimathi Street store at no extra charge.
- 6-month warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with any claim handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk by the same team that sold it.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — available across all 47 counties for buyers who prefer to fit the filter themselves using the supplied tabs.
