Does this screen increase glare and reduce visibility onscreen when tablet is used outdoors?

I am unable to see any difference from a glare with the protector on, or off. The gorilla glass is obviously very reflective, but the protector, being clear and glossy, not matte, does not reduce any of the glare

No, it does not increase the glare when used outdoors. It's the same with or without the screen protector.

My TV is inside; however it does sit next to a large window and I do not notice a glare. In fact, since I have put it on 16 months ago, I have not noticed it screen at all except when it saves my tv from one of my kids.

That's true of all tablets because they have LCD screens and the backlight can't compete with the sun. Actually this one is better than a lot of them outdoors but it's still not that good.Barry

I would say yes. I added this to my Kindle and it took away all glare. Reading outside is no problem. Some sites are still a little difficult to see outside (mainly depending on how bright you have screen settings) but so much better than without protector. I am so happy I purchased this protector!

The anti glare works well, have even used my ipad outdoors without a problem.

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.

If you turn the brightness on your iPad to the highest setting then the answer is yes. If it's so bright out that you need to wear sunglasses then the answer is no because the sunglasses will make the screen even darker looking. I doubt if you wil find an anti glare screen protector that will make the screen perfect for viewing in the direct sun. I use my Kindle for reading outside. . All in all you can read outside in the sun okay with this anti glare, anti smug and anti scratch protector it's just not perfect.

Not true at all. I use it primarily outside and have never had a problem. It isn't great for looking at past taken pictures outside, but you can see everything you need to take pictures. Generally I don't view my already taken pictures on my camera, they go on a phone or computer. I have used it at the beach and similar type places so I am pretty sure I have tested it in the brightest possible settings and never had a problem seeing the screen. For those who did, there is a way to adjust the brightness of the screen in the settings I think

It's definitely glossy and reflective, but I wouldn't say that there's any more glare than the original screen by itself. It's really quite unnoticeable. Unless maybe your screen brightness is all the way down and you're out in direct sunlight at noon, but then there's always the viewfinder.

I don't believe there is any anti-glare coating on the screen. However the IPS LED is so bright and clear it's hard to tell. I do notice sometimes reflections from my living room lights into the screen, and direct sunlight will reduce visibility.

Not really...Can't say if it diminished screen brightness under direct sunlight, but it definitely doesn't improve viewing under sunlight. I think even w/out the screen protector, one will have trouble viewing the screen under direct light.

I have had no problem with glare, I have only used it indoors so I can't say what it would be like outside. I would think it would be fine.

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.

not really. cuts glare on glass surface but doesnt do anything for over all screen fade out that seems to appear in sunlight.

I don't have any glare issues with it. It can get washed out a bit outside, but its still visible. The big problem with the design is that if you accidentally bump it (or put the rifle its on in a bag) it will lose sighting. I find myself re-sighting everytime I use it. I got some MBUS sights and then I quickly re-sight it off them.

It is still possible to see the screen outdoors, though it may be hard. And, you need to manually adjust the screen to brighter. There is no sensor for "Auto Adjust" like the other tablets. The screen is very bright at 100%.
