Does this screen protector affect the crispness of the retina display?

Nop. the screen protector doesn´t affect the resolution or colors of the cell.

The Ultra Crystal one does not, nor does the Ultra Oleophobic. The Ultra Fine and the Ultra Optics do somewhat affect the "crispness" as basically any matte protector will.

The matte finish is different from the HD version, which is crystal clear. The matte finish removes any glare from the screen, which is what I wanted, but it does soften the beautiful retina display just a bit. I don't notice it too much, but if you put an uncovered retina display next to it you would be able to tell the difference.

When I first turned mine on, I had a lighter 'frame' about 1" around the edge of the display that was visible on a black or dark screen. It eventually went away, but now there's a little bit more concentration of light along the left bottom edge but only slightly noticeable. I've seen the same kind of 'stage lights' effect with a retina iPad, so it's probably normal.

No, it does not. Ordered protectors from another source. Did not want a built (third piece) protector as I have read lots of reviews that stated they took away sensitivity and distorted screen presentation.

Rami Elamine and David P. Bard, can you comment on whether you are using a screen protector, such as ZAGG or InvisiShield? I have seen a few complaints like this that appear to be related to the dye in the cover soaking into the screen protector. Or is it actually causing problems on the screen itself?

This don't make the screen fuzzy or anything, i have a nice and crisp screen. Hope it helps :)

As with anything that covers your screen, it does impact the quality a little. It's not much of a impact, i noticed more glare when holding the phone at an angle more than anything.

I'm not sure. I've never had the problem with blurriness. It does take the glare off the screen so that might help.

I don't think so.... But it protects against rispur and it cares for your display

Looks like you've already received an answer to this (just got back from extended vacation). I do want to add my praise to that of S Lopez, though. This screen protector is great at its job without affecting the touch sensitivity of the screen. Also, if you have any other questions, you'll find - as I did - that iSmooth is quick to respond. Five stars for their support team!

I wouldnt say it ruins it since the screen is still Hd quality and you can tell that. It kind of like wheb you have that thin sheet of plastic on a new electronic. Its hard to tell its there but you can see the refraction of the light from the screen which gives it a textured looo. It honestly doesn't bother me when I watch vids or anyone else that sees vids on it and the benefits from it Trumps any minor loss of clarity

My application of the screen protector is clear without distortion. Your case sounds like an air bubble. Recommend carefully lifting the corner nearest the distortion and reset the shield where there distortion is located. Make sure ther are no air bubbles.

Yes, there is a noticeable difference. I almost returned mine because I thought the screen was blurry/grainy until I realized it came with its own screen protector. So i purchased some screen protectors from amazon and they are really clear, showing a better picture. I also have the Idolian custom made case for this tablet as well and everything is awesome!

My experience has been GREAT on my macbook. It's been 2+ months and screen clarity and sharpness has been excellent. Install is tricky since you have to use a lot of heat gun and some force to pry off the old screen and it's a bit scary but it works!

No, it doesn't irritate at all. On my Mac Book Pro Retina 13-inch, the front edge is flush with the flat/wrist surface. ...I have had this cover now for about 7 months, and am still very satisfied with it. No issues whatsoever.

Retina display has to do with clearer, brighter picture quality. Increased pixels, give you a much brighter picture.

If they are the same size, yes. But I think the screen protector is not compatible with the retina display. It isn't a crystal clear screen protector.
