Description of Photodon Protective Film Types

MXH - HD Anti Glare Film

Matte finish, reduces glare about 25%. Highest image quality of all the ANTI-GLARE products. Introduces least amount of visual noise / pixeling. Also has anti-fingerprint coating.

MXT - Thin Anti Glare Film

Matte finish reduces glare about 65%. Very good anti-glare properties. Introduces some visual noise / pixeling, but slightly less than the MXS film.

MXS - Standard Anti Glare Film

Matte finish reduces glare about 75%. Very good anti-glare properties. Introduces some visual noise / pixeling. This film does work on certain touch screen applications but is used more for protection and anti glare.

MXA - Crystal Clear Film

Glossy finish with anti-reflect technology, high transparency recommended for color critical applications and maximum screen clarity, creates a very crisp sharp image. We have noticed improved screen image with whiter whites in most applications.
Anti-reflect technology twists the light 90 degrees as it passes through the film.

  2 Film Finishes to Choose From

  The film type you select is really a personal preference, the two main characteristics being "Anti-Glare/matte finish" vs "Crystal Clear/glossy finish".

  
  Scratch Resistant Films

  All of these films have a very tough (3H) hard coat layer, making them highly scratch resistant under normal use.

  
  3 Anti Glare Film Types

  MXT and MXS have the same anti-glare reduction applied, but the MXT is thinner and is recommended for touch screen applications. Both help with glare but they do not totally eliminate it. MXH has less anti-glare properties but better image quality.

  
  Silicone Adhesion Layer

  All the film types have the same adhesion / attachment method; a protective backing layer is removed, exposing the silicone resin adhesion layer. This adhesion layer covers the entire back surface of the film. This silicone type adhesion is not permanent and the film is easily removable, when needed, without fear of any residue or damage to the screen surface.

  
  1/8 inch Rounded Corners

  1/8 inch rounded corners are standard except on certain models where a larger corner is required. Square corners are an option that can be requested at checkout on custom cut orders. See "Universal & Custom Sizes" category on the web site.

  
  Custom Cut Films

  Custom cut films are available. If you do not find your model listed, we will be happy to custom cut a film for you. In exchange for your feedback of correct size information via email (size and model of device), we will make available a coupon code for 15% discount on your next purchase.

  
  Glass Covered LCDs

  When Anti Glare film is placed on screens with glass covered LCD's, such as with many of the Apple products, where the film is applied on top of the glass to reduce glare, the added distance from the actual LCD/LED in this type of installation causes additional pixeling. For glass covered screens we recommend MXH for some anti-glare, however for maximum image clarity, choose MXA - crystal clear film.

  The MXS and MXT anti-glare films are not recommended for color critical applications or where maximum image clarity is desired.

  Touch Screens and Stylus

  These films (MXA, MXH, MXT) reduce slightly the response of the new capacitive multi-touch displays using the finger touch but work very well with stylus input.
