I've looked into getting one but all of the matte films I have seen have a 'shimmery' appearance to them. It looks like the surface grain of the film is not fine enough. Does anyone know of a good brand of film to use?
- ChuckMcM 15y agoI used some 3M anti-glare film which I believe was this: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Vikuiti1/BrandProducts/main/marketsweserve/displayaftermarket/antireflectionfilms/ http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Vikuiti1/BrandPr... On a 44" LCD television. I got it through a window tinting contractor who had a relationship with 3M (they bought their window tinting film from them).

- po 15y agoas aidenn0 mentions, I don't think a film that works well with a TV would necessarily work well with a laptop. The pixel sizes are different but also the viewing distance is much greater. This 3M product says: Anti-glare film, for example, incorporates a special roughened surface. When external light is reflected on this surface light is scattered across many different angles, giving the appearance of reduced reflection. Anti-reflection film takes a different approach and actually reduce the magnitude of the reflection by passing the light through specially engineered thin layers that reduce the amount of reflection, not just scatter it. I'm not sure that makes any sense but it sounds like it's the right direction. I assume they mean they reduce the reflected light by absorbing it? Anyway, thanks for the pointer.
