Anti-Glare Screen

Is is worth the extra cost? Isn't the anit-glare screen just the glass removed? I'm thinking of buying a MBP 15 and trying to weigh both options.
Thanks

It's all about preference...but after spending well over $2k on the laptop, an extra $50 is pretty nominal.
For me i went with the AG since i had a previous gen 13" with glossy screen and i got annoyed by reflections on the screen when using it in places with alot of lighting.
I do admit that the glossy screen had more of a "bling" factor cuz its all shiny but after a few weeks i just got annoyed.
IMO, glossy for bling and AG for function.
AG really should have been a no additional cost option but thats apple for ya...

    Hi,
        I did not see the NEW Macbook Pro anti-glare screen choice.
          Did Apple Stop offering the anti-glare screen option on the NEW 2013 Laptops?
                      THANKS!!  - Randy

    If you look at the specifications for the 15" non-retina MBPs, you will note that anti-glare option is available.

  • Is there a genuine IPad anti glare screen to reduce the reflection/mirror effect when using outdoors?

    The reflection in the IPad 4th generation retina screen when using outdoors or in bright light is very distracting. You look at yourself! Especially if using the pad on your knees.
    I have fitted the excellent Moshi clear protection screen, but this does not reduce the reflection. Amazon sell an anti glare screen for the IPad 2. Anyone found one that really works, or is this something we must put up with.

    Linehill again.  It seems that many users find the same problem, but no one has the answer! I have been experimenting with some ideas and have found wearing a black or very dark shirt makes a huge improvement if you are sitting down and hold the IPad on your thighs. Try it!

    What is the best way to clean my Macbook Pro anti glare screen

    I have used WINDEX ELECTRONICS for about the past 6+ months:
    http://www.windex.com/en-US/Products/Pages/electronic-cleaner-and-wipes.aspx
    I apply it with a small damp microfiber cloth and wipe the excess off with a large microfiber cloth.  The display looks the same when it came out of the box.
    THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ORDINARY WINDEX GLASS CLEANER.

  • About anti glare screen?

    is that true when you see the top anti-glare screen is clearer and when you're down is dark?.  so you have to be right in front of the screen to see it very well?
    can you get my point? sorry, i dont speak a lot of english
    i mean when your sitting in front of the macbook with antiglare and you are above, you see tha screen clearer..

    nobody could understand?

  • Will there be an anti-glare screen for the new MacBook Pro?

    will there be an anti-glare screen for the new MacBook Pro?

    Hi j,
    Apple rarely announces upcoming hardware upgrades, so we'll probably just have to wait and see if that's something that happens in the future with the retina line. In the meantime, you can express your desire for one here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Anyone using an anti-glare screen cover for Macbook?

    I plan on buying a Macbook and would like to use an anti-glare screen. Any recommendations?

    If you plan to use it in public areas, consider the 3M privacy filters, they have matte/shiny sides so you can use whichever you prefer.

  • Anti glare screen protector ipad mini retina

    I've been researching 3 screen protectors: Moshi ivisor AG, Zagg smudge proof, and bodyguardz hd anti glare. Of the 3 which provides the best clarity without sacrificing much degradation in color. Also what is this business about matte finish, i've seen that zagg does not have matte finish but not sure if its true. Lastly is it truly worth getting anti glare and sacrificing the clarity and quality of the pixelation?

    Zagg is super expensive and I've never liked the orange peel effect they have. I think the best anti glare screen protector is the Tech Armor Screen Protector. It has a matte fingerprint free surface and costs less than $8.

  • Anti-Glare Screen advice

    I need an anti-glare screen for my Ipad2.
    I am looking at the Power Support AG, the Moshi AG iVisor, and the Splash Masque AG protector.
    I am most interested in two features: (1) how well the anti-glare works in the sun and (2) no loss of screen quality (screen not grainy or blurry) with the AG screen.
    Any suggestions/comments about these AG screen protectors in relation to these two characteristics is very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I have tried a lot of these and have had no luck. They hardly ever worked for me, especially in the sun. I wouldn't recommend one.

  • Anti-Glare Screen Protectors

    Do you all know of any anti-glare screen protectors that are less expensive than the Power Support screen protectors? I hate having to pay $15 for them. I know there are some from Case Mate but i have heard bad things about them.

    I've bought from them several times for various cell phones and my new Blackberry. They sell them in sets of 3 for about $6.50 for the set. You can also look on ebay for these things.
    Good luck and if anybody orders from here, please post so others will know the results.
    I'm having trouble looking for them on ebay. I don't what to search for. I kept typing in anti-glare protectors for mp3 players, but there no results.

  • Anti-glare screen protector on 5?

    Should I put an anti-glare screen protector on my iPhone 5? Or does that diminish the retina display?

    This really comes down to personal preference - screen protectors are designed for maximum visibility and there shouldn't be any perceptible difference in the output of the display - I have used my iPhone 5 in all types of light with and without a protector and I do see an improvement with the glare and I can't see a difference in the quality of the display but I can't predict how it will work for you.
