Screen protector required for 15" antiglare screen?

Hi all
I've just upgraded my 2005 15" MBP to the latest unibody 15" MBP with the high-resolution antiglare screen (what a gorgeous machine it is too!), and I'm wondering whether I need to keep a soft cloth / protector between the keyboard and the screen? Over time the keys of my previous (non-unibody) MBP have permanently marked the screen
I imagine the glossy-screened MBP's wouldn't have this problem, but as the antiglare is the same 'soft' material as the old matt-screened MBP's, will I experience the same problem? Or are the keys held further away from the screen on the new unibody models?
Many thanks for your help
David

I just got one of those, too, Hogster86. I didn't need a protector with my 2006 15" MBP. So, I would make a guess that if your old screen was marked by the key, you'd probably do well to use a screen protector for this one. It would be safest, and yeah, you don't want to mess up that beautiful display!
The MBP comes with a protector in there, if you've still got it. Or, check at your favorite computer store for one of those microfiber cleaning cloth kits. Some of them come with a thick, chamois-like cloth specifically for use between your keys and screen.

  • Do you use a screen protector? for powerbook.

    Do you use a screen protector for your powerbooks? if so, what do you use?

    No, I thought about it and decided that a screen protector was not something I needed. The reasons:
    * Key marks are generally finger oils, not physical scratches, and are therefore not permanent and can be removed using a damp cloth and gentle pressure. I have had my PowerBook for 2 years and this has held true. Various parts of my PowerBook have deteriorated far faster than the screen.
    * I didn't want to have this additional thing to have to remove after opening the lid and to replace before closing the lid. To me that's annoying and complicates the experience. I love being able to get going as soon as I open the lid.
    * I transport the PowerBook in such a way to avoid having other items in the bag compress the lid to the keyboard. If you carry a PowerBook in a backpack with 3 classes worth of textbooks and give the bag a hard landing on the library table with the PowerBook on the bottom, well, you might make some permanent marks that way.
    * When thinking about all the things I might want/need to buy with the amount of money the screen protector would cost, I decided the screen protector was way far down on the list.
    Nothing personal to those who find screen protectors useful, but that's the reasoning I arrived at. My opinion is that screen protectors are one of the many accessories that profit from unfounded consumer anxieties.

  • Is a screen protector needed for an iPad mini 3?

    i Was told that they have them built in but can't find support info on that.

    A screen protector (very thin plastic, user-applied screen coating) is not "built in" to any iPad (or otherwise).
    A screen protector is not really needed if you use something like an Apple Smart Cover which will help protect the screen.
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/accessories/
    If you choose to purchase an aftermarket screen protector and have never installed one before, I highly recommend you have the store where you purchase it from install it for you. On large devices such as iPads, they can be very difficult to install correctly.

  • Is a Screen protector necessary for N8?

    Although I do have a good screen protector fitted (lcd adheres by vacuum), I was wondering if it's really necessary as it's fitted with Gorilla toughen glass?
    Do any of you N8 users use one?

    Hi I have a protective case like this: http://www.nokia.ru/products/accessories/all-accessories/carrying-and-styling/carrying-cases/nokia-c...
    See attached photos as well. The good is that this protection locks properly as designed especially for N8. The disadvantage is - needs to be open when answer call. But if the phone drops down it is a big help. The lens is well protected as the case has a shoulder. The price is around 30$ in Russia. But I stil use the belt case without protection whenin the office (when belt is on).

  • Can a screen protector damage an iPhone 4s screen?

    Just purchased a new iPhone 4s and have heard different views on whether or not to use a screen protector.   Some say it can damage the screen, other say it is not necessary.   Others say use one. Looking for more answers.

    Hi Paddler... I've always had screen protectors on all my iPhones, never had any damage on the screen because of them. I know people that don't use them on there iPhone 4 and 4S's and there screens still look imaculate (apart from the occasional smeer or finger print). However I dont wanna take the chance, not after just paying out £600.
    Here's a link for the one's I have always use, they sell them in the apple store and you get two in a pack.

  • Adjust the screen display dynamically for a given screen size and resolutio

    Hi All,
    Is there a posibility to change the size of a table control dynamically to maximize the screen utilization keeping in mind , the different screen size and resolution. This is to increase the breadth of the table control that there is maximum utilization of screen and which would not produce any horizontal scroll bar in case of small size monitors.Kindly advice.
    Best Regards,
    Ashwini

    There is no such control that you can put into the programming logic to enhance the visual appearance of the table controls or screens. This is taken care of by SAP GUI, which will adjust the display size of the table control according to the screen resolution.

  • Looking for Screen Protector for A5500-H / A8-50

    I'm looking for a good but reasonably priced screen protector for my Mum's new A5500-H. I know there's loads of cheap ones on e-bay but I've tried them for other devices before and found they don't apply very well or have a nasty rough surface that your finger sticks to, making the device unpleasant to use. I've got the model with two speakers, so need cutouts for them at each end. Generally I think the Matte protectors are better as they cut down on reflections, even if they do make the screen a bit less clear/sharp.
    I really want a pack of at least two, in case I mess up applying the first one or just as a spare for future. This one's cheap enough to buy two but I've not come across kwmobile before, so they might not be any better than the e-bay ones.
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/kwmobile%C2%AE-protector-ANTI-GLARE-resistant-against/dp/B00KPX8DE2/ref=pd_s...
    This on the other hand is quite expensive at £11.69 for two but I think I at least recognise the brand, although there's only one review so not enough information to know if they're actually any good
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-Screen-Protection-Lenovo-IdeaTab/dp/B00JKOWAUA/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qi...
    I was hoping to find something decent around £4 or £8 for two.
    Xtremeguard I think are OK and this seems like a good price for three but coming from the US I'll have no recourse if it turns out to be rubbish as it will cost more to send it back than it's worth
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Pack-Clear-HD-XtremeGuard-HI-DEF-Screen-Protector-Cover-For-Lenovo-A8-50...
    The fact that they're selling this single one for more than that pack of 3, makes me concerned that the latter might not be very good
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-XtremeGuard-LCD-Screen-Protector-For-Lenovo-A8-50-A5500-Anti-Scrat...
    Perhaps there's a decent but reasonably cheap option for a different 8" device that I could cut down so that it just covers the actual screen area?

    Hmm, I notice that the cheaper Xtremeguard 3-pack says they have a "slightly grippy feel" which sounds like the nasty ones I've used before on other devices. The more expensive Xtremeguard single protector has to be applied with water, which I don't fancy either, so I'm still looking for suggestions.

  • Legal requirements for showing specific ESS screens in local language

    Hi All,
    I would appreciate if you can let me know if there is any legal requirements for showing specific screens in local language? I would also like to know which countries and what SAP ESS screens.
    Thanks In Advance
    Sunny

    Good luck with that. I have never seen any "list of all countries" before like you are wanting. This will typically be part of your requirements gathering and blueprinting tasks.
    Just one question....what is your "global template" for implementation and what is your scope for localization? That will dictate much of your work.
