If you're still looking for feedback I personally chose to use a screen protector. I seached around and found a site that talked about the various options and whether they worked or not... the word there was be careful becuase some protectors seemed to interfere with normal operation. I wish I could find the link so you could read their list of buys and don't buys for the tx2z, but I didn't save it. I do know that I chose Photodon's protector. It was listed as a really good choice, so I ordered a couple. They came extremely fast (next day I think) and they even sent a test sheet to put on the display to make sure everything worked before attaching the real product (not sure if that is unique to them, 1st time I've ordered for anything other than a smartphone, thought I'd mention it). I've had no issues that I know of with it, seems to work the same with as with-out.

Here is a link to the one I got:

If that helps you in your decision at all. :thumbup:

I didn't use it for a long time without the protector so I really don't have a good grasp on how much it helped. It's supposed to be anti-glare, and I really don't have really bad glare issues, so I imagine it's doing something for me. :)

I linked to the wrong one above, BTW. The one I linked above is the crystal clear version, I have the anti-glare version. This is the link for the anti-glare:

Sorry I can't be more help with some before/after glare comments.

I use this some screen guard that I bought from some computer shop here in the Philippines. Does your screen guards get scratches? Mine does but, other than that, works fine.

I also went with Photodon's anti glare screen protector. I have used a screen protector like it for my PSP and it didn't leave behind any residue so I am thinking this one wont either. So far no problems with touch or pen sensitivity. Have been using it for a week now and it stands up to normal use without scratching, I would recommend it. :)

should my Brightview ("matte") have a screen protector? Why not! -- so WHAT one is recommended?

Sounds like at at first they had a matte finish.. then they changed to glossy finish and now there is a semi-matte finish ?

I have a glossy finish.. i notice that depending on the how the skin on your finger is (dry/soft/moist) ... sometimes the finger does not glide smoothly across the the glossy finish .. perhaps thats why they switched to a semi-matte.

I've ordered the crystal clear photodon screen protector and will be getting my laptop on june 4. if the matte screen is really bad, back to hp it goes. if im okay with it, then i will attempt to apply the screen protector and report back. However, if the screen protector doesn't work I might send it back anyways.

Does the tx2 need a scratch protector. Thought they are scratch resistive. I do not have any problems with scratchs and i use the pen very often

I have ordered a TX2-1160eo wich I will get today and I also bought a anti-glare screen protector from ebay for US$ 15. I will report when I know more (in abt 1-2 weeks since it's about to be shipped from HK today)

The Photodon screen protectors work really well and reduce the "graininess" of the matte bright view screens that many people were complaining about, I'd definitely recommend them!
