Screen protector or not for 12" display screen?

[Mike D]

Do you think it's worth putting in a screen protector for the 12" screen? I can't imagine what I would be doing in the cab to crack the screen, but there is Murphy's law. I'm thinking about ordering one.

Seems like a waste of money to me, why would anybody need one.

I have heard the matte finish of a protector can improve screen visibility?

Going to wait and see if its even an issue for me first.

It's a plastic screen, so I wouldn't. You may damage the coating if you ever take it off. And it's not like you're going to drop it.

I don’t think it’s so much for the breakage as it is to keep the screen clean. Guaranteed to see greasy fingerprints all over that thing

I have one. Sole reason is to eliminate fingerprints and it does a great job at that. Like it a lot.

I have the OCDplug matte finish one. It eliminates the fingerprints and glare. Worth the 40 bucks or so for it to me.

Bought by screen protector off Amazon for less than $15.00 works well

Second on the OCDplug screen protector. It's not about it breaking; it's the fingerprint, glare, and scratching. Well worth it, imo

So there is no lose of clarity or brightness with the protector on?

It's easier to see, (I have a matte protector) less glare, no finger prints, and the screen still looks great. If you think it's too dark you can always adjust the screen brightness. I've got it pretty dark and it looks less like a screen and more like just the dash displaying stuff.

I think the biggest case of protection would be screen scratches from dirty hands. Have a bit of dirt or sand on your hands and touch the screen and over time it would be all scratched. My phone is like that, working outside with dirty hands and now my screen has fine scratches in it.

The ocdplug matte finish looks nice but at almost $60??, not a chance.

My wife surprised me with an 8 inch glass screen protector for my STX. Can’t even tell it’s on. I’ve got a glass screen protector on my cell phone so why not.
