Is there a protective film on my T440s FHD touchscreen?

I just noticed that there appears to be a thin protective film over the screen of my T440s with FHD touchscreen. There are small circular cutouts over the camera and microphones. I called up tech support as was told to peel this off. However, when I tried peeling off the lower corner, it did not come off at all. I'm starting to think that I was given incorrect advice, and that the cover is part of the screen and should stay in place. Here is a picture of the cutout holes in this layer for the camera, etc. Any advice? Thanks.

This film should not be removed. It is not there to protect the screen, it is there to make it matte / reduce the glossyness of the screen. The support gave you a wrong information.

  • Protective film layer on ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch models

    QuestionI just unpacked my new ThinkPad X1 Carbon touch and noticed that it appears as though the screen has a protective plastic film affixed to it.  It is most noticeable around the mic and cam, where holes appear to exist.
    I can't find any documentation saying that this should be removed, and it's not easy to pry the sheet off at the corners (in fact, I've had zero luck, but haven't tried much because I don't want to damage anything). Do I keep trying to pry the sheet off or assume it's part of the design?  
    Answer 
    There is a protective film layer that covers the display and should not be removed.  
    This extends over the viewing area and stops about 1/32" from the edge.   There are circular reliefs around the camara and two microphone ports at the top of the screen where this layer can also more easily be seen.

    This film is unbelievably frustrating. I am switching jobs and chose to stay with the T440s under my new employment, although I had to get a new laptop. This time I chose to go with the touchscreen version, only to now see a film that causes graininess across my entire screen. I am coming from a T440s non-touchscreen with the AUO display (got lucky with that one) and that picture quality is exactly what I was wanting. I am highly disappointed in this unremovable film and will certainly be calling in regarding this. Is there any way to completely and safely remove it? I get the sense it is no more important to the screen than say a Zagg screen protector would be, IE touchscreen wll work perfectly fine without it, etc. Very frustrating as screen protectors like this ALWAYS cause some kind of disruption in the picture quality and I never saw mention of this film in any of the reviews I read about the touchscreen of this laptop.

  • Best case and protective film for iPod Touch.

    I had to good sense to get a protective plastic film and case for my nano when i got it two years ago. Its still more or less immaculate so i am thinking i will get the same for the iPod touch.
    Can anybody recommend a good protective case ?
    If i apply a thin plastic protective film to the surface of my Touch, will it interfere with the touch screen functionality ?
    If anybody can recommend a good protective film i would appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • Does removiing the protective film over the phone ...

    Hey guys
    How are you
    I've got a dilemma
    Love the N8 capabilities and 12MP camera
    When you purchase the phone, a protective film is placed over the screen, camera-flash and IMEI no.s
    Now i like to ask Nokia and everyone out there as a consumer
    Is there much quality difference between taking a picture with and without the protective clear screen over the phone's camera lens?
    The reason i ask is that being clumsy and young, i might place my house keys in the same pocket as the N8 and might scratch the lens of the camera
    If it doesn't make a difference, then ill leave it alone
    But if it does then what measures should i take in ensuring i don't damage the lens of the camera
    Thanks

    yes there it, it is not meant to be covered during a time that user purchases it and uses on regular basis. its just to be protected in transport and production. you can get a screen guard but i would not recommend putting anything on the lens as it is not meant to be covered.
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Protective film cover.

    Has anyone just left the protective film cover that came with the Touch on it?
    What would be the disadvantage, if any, with doing this? Thanks!

    Today I exchanged my Touch at Best Buy due to a damaged miniport, but there was someone else there exchanging his iPhone ... we were standing at the stations side by side and these two different employees were having a really good laugh because my Touch was technically out of it's 30-day return policy, but they did a straight exchange for a new one because the computer said it was still in the 30-day return ... though I bought it on Feb. 28th .
    The iPhone guy bought his two weeks ago.
    Mine was immaculate, with only a few superficial scratches on the edges of the stainless steel sides, and not a single imperfection on the face.
    His had some pretty nasty scratches on the face and the back had DENTS and scratches.
    I paid for the service plan.
    He didn't. He also discovered Best Buy's 30-day return policy actually DOES have exceptions for SEVERE wear & tear.
    Why spend $400+ on a phone and then treat it like a throw-away phone you bought at Radio Shack?

  • Is there a protective travel case for the iPad2 that will cover the smart cover as well?

    Is there a protective travel case for the iPad2 that will cover the smart cover as well?

    There are a variety of well-made sleeves from SF Bags which will accommodate the Smart Cover. I'm partial to the neoprene bags and sleeves from Bult NY and I use this "hoodie" netbook sleeve (in black) for extra protection when I'm traveling or in the field because it has a rigid shell to protect the back and sides:

    For everyday, I slip my iPad, with the SmartCover on, into a small neoprene messenger bag, whose 6 pockets hold my iPad, a wireless keyboard (in a sleeve from SF Bags), Kindle, iPad, and cables /chargers:

  • QR code on the blue pull tab of the back panel protection film on new devices

    Has anyone tried to scan the tiny QR code on the blue pull tab of the back panel protection film?
    I tried but it's too tiny for the camera to focus on it.
    Does anybody know what it is?

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • Is there virus protection for the iPad

    Is there virus protection for the iPad2, and if not will there be any in the near future.

    Virus protection will be available as soon as someone writes the first Virus for iOS.

    There are no viruses for iOS currently.
    iOS employs security features built into it-mainly sand boxing.
    You can not download apps from the Internet, apps cannot make changes to the core system or system wide, apps can access data inside the app itself and a very limited set outside itself.
    Sand boxing also prevents AV software from working in iOS.
    You can't scan the device from the AV software because it can't access the other apps or their data.

  • Is there virus protection on my ipad

    Is there virus protection on my ipad?

    Amazon does not run its business on iPads. The fact that a virus is rumored to have been used to hack Amazon is not relevant to a discussion or whether there are viruses that affect unjailbroken iPads. There are currently no know viruses that affect unhacked iOS devices.
    The Blackhole virus didn't "hack Amazon", by the way. It uses an email that is faked to look like it came from Amazon.
    I'd say you should stop worrying but I doubt you will.

    is there virus protection software avaliable for Mac osx intel?

    Plenty, but none of them really necessary. 10.6.8 has it's own in-built system. Just keep the security updates up to date to cover the latest malware quarantine definitions.

  • Protective Films (England)

    Before I get my iphone, I want a protective film for the UK... Some brands are hassle to get here and I will not use eBay.
    I basically need a front and back cover and maybe sides... I’ve come across ZAGG which is £18 but I here they have an orange peel effect. Anyone one got a better suggestion?

    Hi have a front and back one both bought separately from ebay sellers. i have bought lots of different types in the past and these are definitely the best. They are totally clear, have no bubbles, if you apply them right, and are fantastic. I used the same brand for my 3gs also. The sellers name is digi-flexuk for the front ones, and first2save for the back ones. I wouldn't use anything else. I have read a few problems on here using the zagg, basically you have to be really careful with the spray not to get it in the ports. Hope that helps.

  • I wanna buy LCD protection film.

    I'll buy IPAD, that's why I wanna buy one with LCD protection film.
    If you don't have, can I buy LCD protection film in any apple store? (ex. albany westfiled)
    and I'd like to stick film my IPAD. can I get film stick service?
    sorry. I'm poor at english speaking. I'm sure you understanded.

    Apple doesn't sell screen protectors. Just search your local electronics retailer or amazon to find a screen protector that looks good to you.

    Ok, that's a fair point. I did attempt to search (admittedly, not very thoroughly), but the forum search doesn't allow you to search for just "Qt" related topics.
