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). It is true that you do not get something for nothing, so the question is what is lost with the application of the anti-glare film? The answer is not clear in the photos above so if we look a little closer, we can see that with the anti-glare film some image contrast and some brightness (~10%) is lost. See a close-up photo Thus the anti-glare films are not recommended for color critical applications. Our "AR" crystal clear film would be best for color critical situations but then the only benefit is the protection that the film offers.

I just received your anti-glare film and it fits to the iMac much better than I expected! And works great with my eyes too! It is a great product for new iMac. thanks! Kohei

Protect Your Screen from: Screen Cleaning Errors Surface Scratches Environment - Sand, Dirt and Dust Ink and Permanent Markers Finger Prints Screen protector films are available in many precut sizes or we will custom cut our films for you for a minimal $2.50*. Please see Universal & Custom Sizes. This material will not need to be replaced often as the hardened outer surface provides outstanding scratch resistance. Under normal specification conditions replacement time is estimated to be 24 months plus. Your replacement time will vary based on usage, amount of abuse and your environmental factors. Our screen protection films adhere directly to the surface of the screen. Adhesion is provided by a silicon resin layer over the entire screen side surface of the film. There is no residue to this type of adhesion to clean up if the film is removed, nor will this adhesion layer harm your LCD. We have removed films after 18 months of use on a laptop without damage to the screen, in fact the screen looks as good as new. We recommended using a quality microfiber cloth and solution for cleaning your Screen Protective Film once installed. We offer many screen cleaning kits throughout our site. We offer precut size sheets for the most common size screens. There are hundreds screen sizes, so we do not have every size screen precut. We do offer cut-to-size films with instructions for cutting and mounting. Or we will cut them for you for a $2.50* fee per film. Protective film is easily cut to size. Simply measure, mark film and then cut to size using a rot a-trim paper cutter or razor blade and straightedge. Clean the LCD with the microfiber cloth provided, remove the protective film backing and apply the film. Our installation video on YouTube The thicker .2mm material is easiest to apply bubble free and is recommended for larger applications such as flat screen TV's. These Films are for the most part manufactured of PET type materials.

Keep your LCD screens protected and looking like new! Most damage to Flat Panel/LCD screens come in the form of scratches or wear to the antiglare coating applied to the outermost surface. One type of anti-glare coating consists of thousands of microscopic transparent plastic balls fused into the polarizing surface. Because this coating is non-repairable, it is good reasoning to consider protecting your investment. It is no fun having to look at or through a scratched or worn screen. Another thing that we hear about is where people have used Windex on there screens and have partially removed the antiglare coating of the display. Avoid this by installing one of our protective films. These films and your other displays can be cleaned with our specialty screen cleaners.

Thanks so much. The screen savers arrived very fast. Application was easy, and the results on my old tablet (Fujitsu Stylistic ST5030) were like night and day. I was fed up with the poor visibility of the old anti-glare screen and was ready to replace it with a newer tablet and a better screen. But the Photodon crystal clear has made the screen view ability so wonderful, it's breathed new life into this machine. I didn't expect it to actually improve view ability (brightness/contrast) so much compared with the bare screen. Also the smooth inking experience is working out much better as well. I really wish I heard of your product earlier.   I also applied one to a T2010, but since this machine has a bright wonderful AG screen to start with there was no dramatic difference (but this of course is a good thing too, there is only a very slight difference noticeable in bright sunlight).   Thanks so much. I will be buying some more screen savers from you in the near future.   Best Regards Tim

These films only work on flat screen type displays. They do not conform to the surface of older style curved CRT screens.

These films are not brightness reduction films such as a neutral density filter might reduce brightness.

The anti-glare type films are not recommended for color critical applications.

These films do require some skill and patience to install. A clean dust free screen and a clean area to work in is important to ensure a proper installation.

Film FAQ's

We have several different film types.
Generally speaking the greater the amount of antiglare the more speckling you will notice once applied to the screen.
Persons doing color critical work should select a smaller amount of antiglare such as the MXH film or MXA film without antiglare.
See chart below:
