I have eye prob that causes white backgrounds to glare. I do not want to compromise text quality. So, would I do better w "clear" or "anti-glare"?

I like the clear better since the colors pop more and everything is sharper. I had an anti-glare screen protector and it made my screen appear much darker and more dull.

One note to a previous message. You may want to consider Zagg which has a privacy screen protector. My wife uses that and likes it very much.

Hi BRG, I would get the anti glare. It will dim the screen a little but I do not think it will compromise text quality. The screen protector is very well made and easy to put on.

If your using it just for indoors I would do clear. But if your gonna use it indoors and out I would do anti. But if u use the clear trying turning down the brightness. Cause I have kinda the same prob with wearing my contacts and I find it helps immensely.

I prefer the clear. The anti-glare takes all the crispness away from the screen and is too dark for my tastes. I found I had to increase the brightness level to the max to compensate.

Yes, leave white strip on (aligns transparency). There is a smooth side and a coarse side - print on coarse side.

BY "Dual Illumination" I'll assume switching from a red to a green dot. Against a red background, green is easier to see, and vice versa. Have no problems with reflection and glare.

There is no anti-glare "sparkling effect". I have owned this monitor for approximately six months and the performance has been flawless.

In a word, no. It is clear. I'm fairly sure it's not polarized or anything, so the invisibleSHIELDs effect on glare etc is nominal.

I was having the same problem. The anti glare didn't stop the glare completely but it is greatly improved. I don't regret mine.

No, it was not anti - glare and i ended up removing it because of the glare issue

No glare correction as far as I can tell. It just offers protection for the screen from physical damage. It doesn't make the screen any easier to see in sunlight. Very easy to clean, just a gentle wipe is all that's needed.

I use the clear protector. I felt like the matte might detract in certain lighting situations. It's been a solid screen protector, either way you go.

The "glare" (or reflection) is pretty minimal unless the room you're viewing it in is super-bright (as in tons of artificial lighting) or extremely sunny (as in a wall of windows with direct sunlight coming through it). Otherwise it's not a big deal. You can deal with it simply enough by adjusting the screen brightness in the display menu, or pull the curtains or shades closed. Considering the quality of the picture and the price it's no big deal to live with.

Matte. I've *never* had any problem with glare, but then I don't have any lights above or behind me either.

The screen is glossy, however it's also ridiculously bright, so for most applications the lack of anti-glare is a non-issue. I haven't tested it outdoors, but I imagine that would be the one area you might have a problem.

None at all. I was also worried about the anti glare coating but this particular monitor has no problems at all with the sparkle effect.

The 'glare" is rather substantial in certain light conditions. I did find an anti-glare screen overlay by Vikuiti ( sic ) available via Amazon which is of some benefit. Love this camera.

I don't know. I couldn't apply it to my laptop without getting a ton of bubbles so I didn't leave it on long enough to know if it is anti-glare.

It is not considered "anti-glare". However, I think the clarity is phenomenal and looks better than screen protectors labeled as anti-glare.

I'm not sure what you mean by "improve clarity." It does help prevent glare and makes it more comfortable to view, but actually improving clarity? I'm not sure if it actually does that. In the full, bright sun, with the screen brightness turned all the way up, it is difficult to see (as expected), but by far easier than just the screen alone. Wish I could help more. Good Luck! :)
