I've never had one of these before, but the idea of it being held to the flatscreen by velcro isn't real reassuring. Is there any better way?

Father- The screen protector I currently use has a 90 degree bend at the top edge which supports the protector's weight. I use the protector's supplied retainer strap to fasten the top edge to the rear of the panel unit and do not use any adhesive whatsoever. Despite not following the manufacter's recommendation to use the velcro adhesive, the combination of the 90 degree support and rear strap perform very well.

I have had this protector for almost a year now. I have NOT had a problem with the Velcro. The only complaint I have with the Velcro is that it that more pieces should have been included. The four that came with it, I used on the corners and I got two more from my own supply that I put in the middle. The glue on the Velcro has withstood the hot NC summer. This is a worth while investment. I had a tv that was destroyed before. My current tv would have been destroyed multiple times (with 4 children) if it wasn't for this protector. P.S. there is no glare.

Don't know if there is a better way, but we are completely satisfied with this product. It does the job of reducing glare and the way it attaches to the TV might appear to be a little "Rube Goldberg-ish", but once it is on, it's on, unless you like taking it off and putting it back on all the time. It looks good and it works. We like it.

Just recently purchased mine, it holds up fine with the provided velcro. I dont see any reason as to why it wouldn't. Just make sure to clean the surface before applying.

I have not used Velcro - if the TV is solid and level it just fits right on top and stays there. We have no kids though and the TV is inside a "built in" opening so it is not subject to jostling or getting bumped.

it comes with a strap to tie it on in the back of the tv-the velcro does a good job holding it in place-mine has only almost slipped off once-the strap prevented it from falling off

The one I ordered actually had a lip to hang from the top of the TV. I have had it for a few months and has not fallen at all. I have had others without the lip and they have fallen on numerous occassions.

You don't even notice the Velcro and it has a 90 degree lip at top with a hole that allows you to string through a strap they supply and secure it around the base.

That is how we installed our's. Put a nice stained board up for stability & put the mount on it. When we fold the TV up to the ceiling we attatch a bungie cord across it incase we hit a hard bump just to be sure the clame doen not bounce loose. Seems to work great.

Hold the top with one hand, push the screen down or pull it up to adust.It is very easy, DO NOT think too too much.

I believe with double face tape, they supply but, it's not very good quality. Also, you might try thumb tacks. They actually gave me a refund in full as I was not satisfied with the quality in general of the screen. thanks! Bonnie

Most flat TV's have a VESA Mount Standard Pattern on the back (4 HOLES THAT FIT 4 SCREWS) used to hang TV to a wall. You just have to find the right screw size (vendor provides 4 or 5 different screw sizes, ONE SET OF FOUR should fit right on the back of your TV). Then use them to attach the TV hooks(upright metal pieces) to TV. Then you just hang TV, using the hooks, onto the brackets (horizontal pieces) previously attached to wall, per vendor instructions. You might need help lifting up your TV. I hope this answer your question, good luck!

If you are looking to make it portable you can attach the screen to a wooden frame. the issue is going to be what are you going to hang this frame from once you staple it to the frame. Another alternative would be clamps but you need some type of frame or rod to hang it from. The other issue is that if it is not stretched completely the image is not as good visually. Personally I do not believe this was made to be mobile. I just stapled it to the wall and I plan on getting some nice moulding and give it a great finish appearance. The screen was a good investment. Good luck with you project.

We just put it in the window over the curtain rod. Double faced tape would work. The product is soft, plastic like material. The only downfall - the cord to the TV could be longer. We will be buying another one for another TV. Hope this helps!

Totally a bummer. Every flat screen monitor and TV I've seen has holes for mounting. I bought a dual monitor mount thinking I could mount it with my other monitor. There is definitely no way to mount this thing. I'm hoping it is an amazing monitor because it already has one strike against it.

To be honest I'm not sure about how useful the grasping bars are on this thing. It didn't fit my Phillips 10 inch forward flipping DVD player so I ended up taking off the side arms and ripping off the spring loaded plate thing in the middle. I used a velcro strap that came with my DVD player to attach it to the plastic back plate, it seems to be holding pretty well. As a bonus my DVD players have stopped skipping so I think it helps with the bumps as well.If you think you can secure your DVD player vertically by strapping or screwing it to the plastic base plate I'd say go for it. Otherwise you may want to look elsewhere. To be honest I'm not sure about how useful the grasping bars are on this thing.

There's a thin strip of adhesive tape around the perimeter. Very strong - once it's on, it's hard to reposition the screen without breaking it.

I'm looking for some type of kit that when I have the screen swiveled and flat I can mount it to the headrest in my van, I suppose just a piece of velcro strap would work, but would like something that is made for it specifically , but not in the L shape case like you are saying too! thanks cbanks27@yahoo.com

Yes, but you have to be very careful when pulling it away from your TV. Gently pull the screen away from the TV supporting the areas the velcros are. Pulling too strong or too quick might put a lot of stress on the TV's bezel.

The back of the remote has a very slight curve but is mostly flat and there are no holes on it. I would use Velcro. Put a piece on the back of the remote and the other piece on the wall. If you are worried about having damage to the paint on the wall from the velcro, mount it on some other surface.

it all depends how you mount it. this is just the screen fabric. i built a shell out of 2x4s and stretched and stapled it so mine is permanent. if i were you i would look for a pull out one.

The screen is easy to remove. Just pull away the front Velcro straps and the strap from the back which is also Velcro. Note: you won't notice the screen once it is mounted on the TV. The picture is clear.

I actually, cut the velcro into some smaller strips and it worked fine. I think I had to cut about 1/4 off and that was it. It would have looked fine even with out cutting, but I just wanted it to be a little smaller. We used this on a Panasonic Viera 55" plasma TV. Works great! Hope this helps

If you need to use temporary adhesive, you may have better luck by attaching one of these with screws to a mounting surface like a picture frame or small piece of wood (maybe 4" x 4") and attaching the velcro adhesive strips to the back of the piece of wood. There's not really a place to put the velcro strips on these micro units. There's not a large, flat area for the velcro to hold onto - the unit is small to begin with, there's not a battery cover (it stays in fine but might get grabbed by the adhesive on the back of the velcro strip), and the flat area on the bottom of the unit leaves very little room for the velcro to attach to.If you need to use velcro, you'd be better-off with a standard-sized unit.
