LCD Protective Film Features

Film Sizes Available:

We offer pre-cut size sheets for the most common size screens. Since there are thousands of screen sizes, we do not have every size pre-cut. If we don't have your size available, we can custom cut your film for you for $2.50 (restrictions apply). See Universal & Custom Film Sizes. If you do not see your make & model on our website & you are able to verify your screen size after receiving your film, we will give you a $5.00 coupon for your next purchase or you can give it to a friend.

When you remove the disposable liner, you expose the silicone adhesion layer. The silicone layer adheres directly to your screen. This film is non aggressive and is easily removable.

Consider our Film Installation kit to help make installation a little smoother. Large Film Installation Kit or Small Screen and Lens Kit.

Film Care Notes:

Maintain your Screen Protective Film with quality microfiber screen cloth and solution. Our screen cleaning kits offer the highest quality screen cleaning solutions and microfiber cloths.

Film Replacement Time:

The hardened outer surface of Photodon films provide outstanding scratch resistance and do not need to be replaced often. Under normal screen usage and care, replacement time is estimated to be around 24 months. Your replacement time will vary based on usage, the amount of abuse and your environmental factors.

Special Notes About our Films:

• The anti-glare type films are not recommended for color critical applications.
• For color critical work, MXH (high definition-anti-glare) or MXA (crystal clear) is recommended.
• Typically the greater the amount of anti-glare the more speckling, once applied to the screen.
• These films only work on flat screen displays and do not conform to older style curved CRT screens.
• These films are not brightness reduction films such as a neutral density filter.
• These films do require some skill and patience to install.
• A clean dust-free screen and a clean work area is important to ensure a proper installation.
• Our MX101 Film Installation Kit is recommended especially for larger film installations.
• The terms "Anti-Glare", "Non-Glare" and "matte finish" are used interchangeably.
• The terms "High Contrast" and "Crystal Clear" are used interchangeably.
• Choose MXA (crystal clear), MXT or MXH (antiglare) films for inking / touch screen applications.
• Choose MXA (crystal clear) or MXH (high definition anti glare) for best screen resolution.
• Choose MXS anti-glare for large screen-distance viewing.

From the photos above you can see how the anti-glare film reduces the distinct reflections that the glass like surface creates (right side monitor).

In the photos above, if you look closely, you will see that the anti-glare film does reduce image contrast some. Brightness is reduced (approximately 10%).

Thus the anti-glare films are not recommended for color critical applications!
