Protect sensitive information and safeguard privacy in busy workspaces with the Kensington FP185W9 Privacy Screen for Monitors. Designed specifically for 18.5-inch, 16:9 displays, this privacy filter narrows the viewer’s field of vision to +/- 30 degrees, ensuring that what’s on your screen remains visible only to you. In today’s open offices, shared desks, and public areas, even a quick glance at a monitor can reveal confidential data. This privacy screen helps prevent such visual data breaches without sacrificing the clarity and color accuracy you rely on for everyday tasks—from reviewing spreadsheets and emails to preparing presentations. Beyond privacy, the FP185W9 also addresses eye comfort through blue light reduction, reducing fatigue during extended screen time. It’s a practical upgrade for professionals, students, and anyone who values discretion and a healthier viewing experience.
- Privacy at a glance: Limited viewing angle of ±30 degrees keeps sensitive information locked to your line of sight, making it harder for others nearby to read what’s on your screen in crowded offices or public spaces.
- Blue light reduction: Built-in blue light filtering helps minimize digital eye strain, supporting longer, more comfortable work sessions without compromising essential color accuracy.
- Designed for 18.5" 16:9 displays: Precisely sized to fit standard mid-size monitors, ensuring a snug, glare-reducing fit that complements most desk configurations and setups.
- Glare and reflection reduction: Matte-filter surface minimizes reflections from ambient light, improving on-screen readability whether you’re near windows or under bright office lighting.
- Easy installation and maintenance: Lightweight and simple to attach, remove, and clean—so you can swap between privacy and collaboration with minimal disruption.

How to install Kensington FP185W9 Privacy Screen
Installing the FP185W9 privacy screen is a quick and straightforward process that you can complete in just a few minutes. Before you begin, ensure your monitor is powered off and free of dust or fingerprints for optimal adhesion and alignment. Start by confirming that your display matches the FP185W9’s specifications—an 18.5-inch diagonal with a 16:9 aspect ratio. If you have a screen protector or other overlays, remove them or make sure there’s enough clearance to accommodate the privacy filter.
Step-by-step installation instructions:
- Clean the monitor surface: Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe the screen’s front surface and remove any dust, oils, or smudges. A clean surface helps prevent bubbles and ensures a secure fit.
- Position the filter: With the privacy screen in hand, align it with the display’s outer edges. Check that the filter’s cutouts (if any) align with camera, sensors, or controls on your monitor. If you’re using an attachable mounting system, make sure the mounting points line up with your monitor frame.
- Attach or mount: Depending on the model’s design, attach the filter using the included tabs, adhesive strips, or magnetic attachments. Apply gentle, even pressure to secure the edges and avoid creating air pockets.
- Check alignment and readability: Power on your monitor and verify that the image remains clear when viewed directly and that privacy is maintained from the sides. If needed, adjust the position slightly to center the filter over the screen.
- Final maintenance: Regularly wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth to maintain clarity. If you notice any stubborn smudges, use a mild screen-cleaning solution and avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the filter’s performance.
Tips for optimal performance:
- Avoid applying excessive force during installation to prevent edge lifting or warping of the filter.
- Store the privacy screen flat when not in use to avoid bending or creasing.
- Pair with a glare-reducing desk setup—position your monitor away from direct sunlight or harsh overhead lighting for a more comfortable viewing experience.
Frequently asked questions
- What monitors is the FP185W9 compatible with? The FP185W9 is designed for 18.5-inch, 16:9 monitors. To ensure a proper fit, verify your display’s diagonal size and aspect ratio before purchase. If your screen dimensions differ slightly, you may still enjoy privacy benefits, but edge alignment could vary.
- Does this privacy screen filter reduce blue light? Yes. The FP185W9 includes blue light reduction to help lessen eye strain during extended computer use, making long work sessions more comfortable without compromising essential color reproduction for typical office tasks.
- Will privacy filtering affect screen brightness or color accuracy? Privacy screens can slightly reduce perceived brightness and contrast because of the shading effect. Kensington’s FP185W9 is designed to preserve color integrity as much as possible while delivering privacy, so most users notice minimal color shift during daytime and regular office tasks.
- Is the privacy screen easy to remove and reattach? Yes. The FP185W9 is built for quick attachment and removal, making it convenient to switch between private viewing and collaborative work. When reattaching, ensure edges are evenly aligned for consistent privacy coverage.
- How should I clean and maintain the privacy screen? Clean with a soft microfiber cloth. If needed, use a small amount of screen-safe cleaning solution and gently wipe to avoid scratching the surface. Avoid abrasive materials that could dull the finish or degrade the filter over time.
- Will this privacy screen work with laptops or laptop docks? The FP185W9 is optimized for external monitors with an 18.5-inch, 16:9 display. For laptop screens with similar dimensions, it may provide privacy benefits, but always confirm fit and clearance with your device’s lid and hinge design before use.

Interesting and important book
Format: Hardcover
This book looks at the motivations and demographics of the first wave of English immigrants to flee to what was to become the USA. Interestingly written, it explores the educations, positions of and the relationships of the earliest settlers to our east coast. I read it while researching our Family Tree and finding the people connected before coming, and for generations after. The endless Indian wars were a revelation, as was the tale of the oppressed becoming the oppressors as Quaker families fled Massachusetts for New Netherlands.

The Barbarous Years: The Peopling of British North America: The Conflict of... Bernard Bailyn
Format: Hardcover
A remarkable book!!!
I have never read such a comprehensive book on early United States history that contained so much information I had never read before.
How the status of "indentured servant" existed alongside the origins of slavery in Virginia and Maryland (along the Chesapeake Bay) was both remarkable and horrible.
That a white man (typically, landowner) could have a child with a (black) slave who would become a free person at adulthood (earliest laws) created problems (they needed the "help"), so this law of the 1650s-1660s was changed! And if a white (free) woman had a child with a (black) slave, the resulting child would remain a slave! Matrilineal or patrilineal human rights, that is the question.
Indentured servant, but with no expiration date.
I had never before read how people in this country were real "pioneers" in the creation of slavery - at least with slavery of humans captured from the continent of Africa! It seems that whatever voices of "Christian" decency there might have been at the time - church based values or ones simply based in the hearts of people living here - they were drowned out by commercial interests or those who simply couldn't be bothered by such concerns.
I hope you read this book and recommend it to your friends!
Sincerely,
Bob Cargill, Minneapolis

A decent primer -- no more.
Format: Hardcover
This is an odd book for one of America's premier historians. It isn't a bad book -- a person of Bailyn's erudition couldn't write a bad book -- but it doesn't hang together well. The author does not really have anything new to say and a historian of the Early Colonial Period will quickly recognize the usual sources. It is hard to see exactly what historiographical niche this book fills.
Even the title is misleading. Sure, Jamestown was barbarous enough by our standards and New Amsterdam was plenty harsh. But, the Bay Colony was, by the rough-and-ready standards of 17th century Europe, pretty civilized. (Compare it with the contemporaneous English Civil War or the Thirty Years War.) As for "Conflict of Civilizations," there was certainly enough of that but the most interesting part of the book, the last third or so on the Bay Colony, is largely an account of Puritan theological quarrels.
In fact, one senses that Bailyn felt like he was "home" when he wrote about the Bay Colony. He has, after all, written about New England since 1955 ("Merchants.") He gives the reader a clear account of the theological duels between Winthrop, Cotton, Hooker, Williams, Hutchinson and others. But, others have done this as well or better.
Bailyn all but ties himself in a knot to be politically correct toward the Native Americans. For every Indian atrocity he finds a matching atrocity in European civilization. Still, if captured in war one was likely to be a lot better off among the English, French or Dutch than the Pequods. A LOT better off!
This volume is part of a series that explores the settling of North America and hardly anyone is better equipped for this than the author. But, what begins as a good account of the horrors of Jamestown drifts into a twice-told tale of the niceties of Puritan disputation. It is almost as if Bailyn got bored half-way through and started channeling Perry Miller.
A good book in its way and quite useful for an upper division course or first-year graduate seminar. But, not well-written enough to snare the casual reader and not original enough to snare the professional historian. An odd number.

Sheds Light On A Dimly Perceived Period
Format: Kindle
This book is clearly intended for those of us (non-historians) curious about what is a dimly perceived period of North American colonial history. Living as I do in Tidewater Virginia, I consider myself fairly well versed with the earliest years of English settlement or invasion, depending on your point of view. But, I was wrong. I had, of course, read about the wretched first two years of the Jamestown enterprise, but I had no idea just how ghastly the conditions of the first twenty years of the English colonial period were. Wave after wave of newcomers simply starved or died of disease in those years. The mortality rate was shocking. So many people were dying off that the local Indians did not even think it necessary to kill these newcomers (which proved a mistake, of course). And this was not just at Jamestown. For example, the author says that in any given year in one county 30 to 40% of the children under the age of eight were orphans. And the origins of many of these earliest colonists -- orphans dumped by local churches, beggars snatched off of urban streets, prisoners marched from gaol to waiting ships, many poor people literally kidnapped or tricked into emigrating -- was eye-opening. Talk about the refuse of British society. (As an aside, anyone whose humble immigrant ancestors came to Virginia in those years can forget about doing any genealogical research. You will never find the answers to your questions.)
This does tend to be a bleak read. One of the things that jumped out at me was the sad, repetitive tale of European-Indian relations. It mattered not where one was. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Amsterdam, New York, the pattern is always the same. Trade and early friendly relations were quickly undermined by misunderstandings, stupidity, devious tricks, alcohol, and land disputes that led to attack and counter attack and massacres on both sides.
One of the things I did enjoy was the Indians' views of Christianity. Those mentioned by the author viewed it as little more than a strange dream. When the concept of a universal god was explained to them they laughed and called it a silly fable. I can only agree. My respect for their powers of reasoning and perspicacity rose immeasurably. Just who was the savage?

Interesting, but a little scattershot (3.75*s)
Format: Paperback
One thing is for certain, in this highly detailed work by the author, there is no attempt to sugarcoat the European experience in emigrating to America in the 17th century. He examines Virginia, the Chesapeake area, New York, and New England. In the initial stages merely surviving was an accomplishment. Most of the early settlers were clueless about overcoming the harsh conditions that they found, not to mention the savagery that the natives unleashed upon them without warning. A large supply of the weak and vulnerable facilitated this peopling of America, despite the dreadful conditions.
In addition, as the author shows in great detail, are the conflicts among the settlers. America was settled during a time of great political and religious clashes in England. Most of the settlers were Protestants, but held widely differing, contentious views about religious practice. Much of the governance of the colonies was autocratic, inept, and harsh. A good many of the settlers were indentured by contract for years and thereby were practically slaves, in contrast to the well connected who were granted huge estates. But even then, the author points out that the living standards for even the rich were terrible by European standards.
The book is definitely more sociology than historical. One learns about the origins of the settlers across America and the implications for the possibility of robust communities. The author definitely does not hold back on naming thousands of settlers across the colonies; it is difficult to slog through all of that. The book does seem a little scattershot in its organization and subject matter.
