LCD Protector: What do you suggest using to protect the LCD on this camera?
285
I got a very high quality LCD protector on ebay for around $8 it is the correct size 2.7" Just search for Panasonic DMC-FZ28 and you will get something.

That is correct, however on mine I thought this was the case, but after replacing the glass I did note that the lcd had a bad spot that I was unable to notice before I swapped the glass out, so if it is smashed and you are not sure, the lcd may have a bad spot under the glass that you can not see. I thought this kit was great, cheap and fairly easy to replace, in my case I am fine with a bad pixel or two and am quite happy with the end result, If you are unsure if the lcd is perfect, you may end up with a bad pixel you didn't know you had, just so you know :) Good luck!

I put a screen protector on mine. I am hard on equipment like the extra protection. I had to make the hole for the camera slightly bigger but other than that I like this case very much.

I would contact CowboyStudio at support@cowboystudio.com and ask for what they call "thin adhesive metal rim" for their LCD VIEWFINDER V1234. I highly doubt you'd be able to find them anywhere else, unless you DIY with 3M double-sided adhesive.

Hey, it's not necessary...but if you don't have d right tools you risk damaging the LCD ...it's a little difficult separating d glass from LCD...check d technique for replace the glass on YouTube...there's 1 showing it for and s3...basically d same process

I use a clothes iron on high and wrk around. Be sure not to scratch the LCD. It is close to the digitizer, don,t go to deep.

Something like a semi soft spatula, inserted underneath will pry it off. It's not like it's glued on. I actually had to take off the top lcd protector when I fell and dropped it and it cracked, but saved the lcd display on the camera. It just popped right off using my pocketknife

Make sure you also have a heat gun as this helps with seperating the digitizer from the lcd.

The glass has no adhesive. I did buy a roll of the 2mm and I did need to use it. I also bought an additional kit but may not have needed it. A few extra guitar picks helped me. Replacing only the glass is a unique repair; it seems the glass and the screen are a component. There is a complete layer of adhesive between the LCD and the glass and that has to be completely removed and done without. Careful separation of the glass from the LCD is critical and with the right tools that will not damage the LCD. I watched as many S4 specific YouTube vids as I could find. More answer than you asked for but if it helps than it was worth a read. The glass has no adhesive. I did buy a roll of the 2mm and I did need to use it.

You can see what is on the LCD screen but it is fuzzy, not clear. Not recommended. I have used mine to put a slide in it that I want to make a digital photo and put it up the the camera on the computer or Iphone and take a photo. Not perfect but workable.

Hi, thanks for your reply. How did you make the L pieces stick to the LCD? With the velcro or with some kind of adhesives?

I made some modifications. I took two metal pieces in the shape of an L, covered them with the soft side of Velcro to prevent them from scratching the top of my LCD. Then placed the spiky parts of the Velcro underneath the speaker to attach the L shaped metals pieces to it. Finally I placed it on top of my LCD with the L shape pieces holding it from the front LCD and the attached stand holding it from the back of the LCD. I used Velcro so that I could remove it later if I wanted to.

I had the same concern and talked to Ritz Camera, they recommended me to buy a $20 cover for the camera's LCD that would shade and protect it. There is no viewfinder on the camera and the LCD is quite reflective, which would make it hard to see in the sunlight.

No Chris because this is just the screen lens cover nothing else this is the cover to protect the actual screen. Something might have happened to the lcd. Have you dropped it or anything. Sometimes even pressure could have done something like this even without a crack. Also you might need to hard rest which you can go to samsung. Com to go through steps if that doesn't work I would connect to kies which is also on the Web address. If nothing works go to your phone company and go from there.

You could either cover the IR LEDs (but IR goes through most tape, even cardboard, partially through metal duct tape, I found foam works fairly well), or if you wanted to disable them permanently, disassemble it and cut the wire to the LED ring, I have not done this but I think I remember seeing that it is a separate circuit board from the camera. Yes, a hardware switch to change between the built-in remote switch operating the LEDs and the external output would be nice, someday I may do something like that, but haven't had a chance yet. The rest of the camera is excellent, especially for the price.

I never experienced this problem with my two GF2 cameras. I covered the LCD screen with an Invisible Shield from Zagg.

If your lcd is broken then yes this is what you need. Becareful when removing the screen in front of lcd -- you'll need a heat gun to warm up glue to make t easier to take off and can melt edges as well as crack it. It's hard to do with out experience
