UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 3,500 for a single detachable filter made for 14-inch laptops with a 16:10 display. The UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector narrows the angle from which your screen can be read, so the person sitting beside you sees a darkened panel while you see your work clearly from the front. It is brand new and sealed in UGREEN retail packaging. You can collect the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Built for accountants, lawyers, bank staff, HR officers and sales teams across Kenya, this filter answers a problem most laptop users notice only after it happens: someone reading over their shoulder. Payroll sheets, KRA iTax returns, M-Pesa statements and patient records all end up on screens in open-plan offices, airport lounges and shared desks in Westlands and Upper Hill. Without a filter, anyone a seat or two away can read them. With the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector fitted, the text stays readable to you and turns dark for anyone viewing from the side.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unbranded filters in guesswork sizes, Mascom International stocks a UGREEN filter cut for the 16:10 shape used on many recent business laptops, such as the HP EliteBook 840 G9 and Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3. Customers across Nairobi tell us the biggest frustration with cheap filters is a poor fit that leaves bare strips at the edges. Matched to the right screen, the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector avoids that. Bring your laptop to Kimathi Street to try the fit, or send your model number on WhatsApp first.
Common Questions About the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector
How much is the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector in Kenya?
The UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector costs KSh 3,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price covers one detachable filter for a 14-inch 16:10 laptop, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. You can also pay by M-Pesa or cash at our Kimathi Street shop. Spread across a year of daily use, the filter works out to under KSh 10 a day, which is small next to the cost of leaked client or payroll data.
Will the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector fit my laptop?
The UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector fits laptops with a 14-inch screen in a 16:10 shape, measured diagonally across the visible display. Many recent business models use this format, including the HP EliteBook 840 G9 and Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3. Older 14-inch laptops with a wider 16:9 screen, such as the HP EliteBook 840 G8, have a different outline, so the filter will not line up properly. If you are unsure, send your exact model number to Mascom International on WhatsApp before ordering.
How does the UGREEN SP617 compare with a laptop that has HP Sure View built in?
HP Sure View is an electronic privacy mode built into some EliteBook screens and switched on with a key, while the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector is a physical filter for 14-inch 16:10 laptops from any maker. Sure View needs no accessory, but it ships only on specific HP configurations and raises the laptop's price. The SP617 costs KSh 3,500 and moves with you to your next laptop if the screen format matches. Pick Sure View when buying a new HP; pick the SP617 for a laptop you already own.
Is the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector useful on matatus, in Huduma Centre queues and at Nairobi coffee shops?
Yes, the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector earns its keep in exactly those crowded Nairobi spaces where people sit shoulder to shoulder. On a matatu along Thika Road or in a Huduma Centre queue, the person beside you sees a dark screen instead of your emails or banking app. The filter also sits over the display surface, so fine dust that settles on laptops during the dry season lands on the filter rather than directly on the panel. Wipe it with a dry microfibre cloth.
Who should buy the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector, and who should skip it?
The UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector suits anyone handling confidential data in shared spaces: accountants, advocates, HR officers, doctors, bank staff and NGO field staff. Skip it if you mostly work alone at home, or if you are a designer or photographer who needs full brightness and colour accuracy, because any privacy filter dims the image slightly. Owners of 13-inch, 15.6-inch or 16:9 laptops should also skip it and ask Mascom International about a filter cut for their screen instead.
Does the UGREEN SP617 make the laptop screen darker for the user?
Yes, the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector lowers brightness a little, as every privacy filter does, because it blocks light travelling out at side angles. Viewed from the front, text and spreadsheets stay readable at normal working brightness. Most users raise screen brightness a step or two after fitting one. That draws slightly more battery, worth remembering during KPLC power cuts when your laptop runs unplugged. Taking the filter off restores full brightness at once, since the design is detachable.
How do you fit and remove the UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector?
The UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector is designed to go on and come off by hand, with no tools needed. Clean the screen first with a dry microfibre cloth so no grit gets trapped, line the filter up with the edges of the display, and press it gently into place. Removing it takes seconds, which helps when you want to show a colleague a spreadsheet or walk a customer through a quotation across the table. Store it flat when it is off the laptop.
Is the UGREEN SP617 a good choice for accountants and advocates handling client files in Kenya?
The UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector is a sensible step for accountants, auditors and advocates who open client files outside a closed office. Kenya's Data Protection Act places duties on firms to protect personal data, and a screen anyone can read in a court corridor or a busy reception works against that. A KSh 3,500 filter is a low-cost measure firms in Upper Hill and Kilimani can standardise across their 14-inch laptops, and Mascom International also supplies business laptops in this screen format.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- Narrow viewing angle filter — your screen reads clearly from the front, while people at either side see a darkened panel instead of your work.
- Detachable design — fit it for commutes and public workspaces, then remove it for presentations or shared review sessions at your own desk.
- Passive filter with no power draw — it needs no software, drivers or batteries, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux laptops.
- Hides any screen content — spreadsheets, banking apps, email, chat windows and video all darken for side viewers, not just selected programs.
- Extra layer over the display — the filter takes surface contact and settling dust before it reaches the laptop's own screen panel.
Compatibility
- Sized for 14-inch laptops — the figure is the screen diagonal, measured corner to corner across the visible display, not the laptop body.
- 16:10 aspect ratio — a taller screen shape that many recent business and consumer laptops now use in place of the older 16:9 format.
- Example matches — the HP EliteBook 840 G9 and Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 both carry 14-inch 16:10 displays this filter is cut for.
- Not for 16:9 panels — a 14-inch 16:9 screen is wider and shorter, so the filter edges would not line up with the display.
- Quick check — divide your screen resolution width by its height; 1920 x 1200 gives 1.6, which confirms a 16:10 screen.
Build
- Flat filter cut to the 16:10 outline — it covers the visible display area so side viewers find no uncovered strip to read from.
- Hand-fitted, no tools — attach and detach it yourself in seconds, with no technician or special fitting kit required.
- Leaves the laptop screen unchanged — once removed, your display looks and works exactly as it did before the filter went on.
- Easy care — clean it with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid alcohol sprays or rough tissue, which can mark filter surfaces over time.
- Store flat when not in use — bending or rolling the sheet can leave creases that show up as lines across your screen.
Inclusions
- One privacy screen protector — this is a 1-Pack, enough for a single 14-inch 16:10 laptop screen.
- Brand new and sealed in UGREEN retail packaging, straight from the distributor to our Nairobi CBD shelves.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, handled at our Kimathi Street service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, so you inspect the filter before handing over any money.
- Free fit check in store — bring your laptop and confirm the screen format before you pay.
Package Contents
The UGREEN SP617 Privacy Screen Protector comes as a 1-Pack: one detachable privacy filter for a 14-inch 16:10 laptop screen, sealed in UGREEN retail packaging.

Our team at Mascom International can show you how to fit the filter in store and confirm your laptop's screen format before you pay, so you leave with a filter that lines up properly.
