"#1. Does this film reduce bright on the screen?" "It's clear and thin just like any screen protector that you would use to protect your cellphone., therefor it does not affect the brightness in any way. "#2. My screen has some little scratches. Can this film hide these scratches?"I don't have an answer for you, but it sounds like you could've used one.

there is no noticable tint so brightness is the same. i did not try it outside in bright sunlight.it would easily cover small scratches, i suspect any any screen saver would do that

The film does not reduce brightness and might hide tiny scratches; scratches that are buff looking will show.

The screen is glossy, however it's also ridiculously bright, so for most applications the lack of anti-glare is a non-issue. I haven't tested it outdoors, but I imagine that would be the one area you might have a problem.

It's a matte screen, made of a plastic material. Pressing on it changes the brightness in the immediate vicinity. It will reflect some light, but it's definitely not shiny.

It definitely reduces the glare. It sort of dulls the reflective property of the bare screen, which in turn sort of takes away some of the HD quality. If you are strictly concerned with the glare, I would say this is a good product for that.

I think it's matte since it doesn't refflect any light.Nonetheless, I don't have any straight lightning towards the screen.

Its doesn't do a lot more than just protect the (very expensive to replace) camera LCD. Mine has scratches all over it and it's taken a huge beating... So nice that I can replace it for about $30... But to answer your question, glare reduction in minimal. Finger prints are easy to remove and I don't worry about using some special 'cloth', since i can replace it for so cheap... I have one on both my Sony RX100 & my Nikon D4. Get it!

I had such a hard time putting the screen protector on that I just gave up. I told the seller about the difficulty and they said they would send me another one but as of yet I have not gotten it. But to answer your question, I am debating about not using for the exact reason you are concerned about. I do think it may affect the HD clarity but I can't say that as fact - just using my common sense... it is a matte screen - it will have some affect, I'm not just sure how much. Hope this helps some.

Mine is clear and it's fine. Matte seems to take away from the crispness of the screen.

Same as previous answer. Helps a bit, maybe. No real noticeable difference as far as glare is concerned. HOWEVER, there is a MATTE FINISH Illumishield that is probably better. I tried to cancel my order for the original but it had already shipped. I think the matte finish is specifically designed to reduce glare.

For the most part fingerprints are minimal, looks more like a smudge if hands are dirty, it behaves pretty much like the original glass screen w/o any protector at all. It is glass, you will get some smudging but fingerprints & smudges wipes clean even if u use ur palm. No, not anti-glare, but neither is the original screen. I can say that I will never use another film protector again...its wonderful!

Thanks for writing, first and foremost I would like to tell you that I first purchased the HD high Defintion version which I loved, however it got dirty too fast and was glary, then I ordered the anti finger print version which looks cloudy at first but dont be alarmed it is very clear when you put it on and I feel it has a bit more thickness to it for more protection. Now as far as putting it on it is very easy to place on the screen once you have read instructions and perhaps watched the video, please make sure you clean the surface of your device or wipe it down with a damp not wet cloth or napkin like a lens cleaner and then place it on accordingly to instructions. If anything goes wrong Tech Armor does stand by their product, just take your time and if ou get one or two minor bubbles which may happen as it did to me at first it some how irones itself out if you go over it with a credit card like card board which the item comes with, Please write if any other questions, I ll try to help you the best I can, also it has life time warranty. Thank You.

If it's not affecting the picture I wouldn't worry about it. I haven't noticed it on mine. The only bright area is around the edges when I have the brightness up.

This protector shield is not colored, it is transparent. So whatever scratches you had on your unit still shows, but I do recommend this protector shield on you to prevent further damage on the surface of your unit. I' m telling you honestly that all of my family's electronics (cellphones,tablets,laptops) were having this kind of protector shield and still having no regrets after several years now. I hope this will help your decision.

The instructions say it can be removed easily, and that certainly appears to the true. If you try to casually apply the protector, however, you will probably get a lot of dust trapped behind the filter which I think would reduce the screen quality. Personally I have left mine on all the time for the past six months. It doesn't reduce the brightness or quality very much, and I like that it protects the screen from scratches.

I find glare a problem as well. As one poster says, "the reflection is not a bother at all", well, that makes me wonder is there is still some reflection. I have a matte screen now and love it - no glare even with direct light. I'd love to upgrade my TV to 1080p but can't seem to find screens that are matte any more. So frustrating when manufactures do stuff like this. They should at least make it an option.

It doesn't state that it is anti-glare. When you apply it you can't tell that you have it on. It looks just like your original screen but I have not had any kind of glare issues with it at all.

i have used the adonit jot for about 3 months and i dont have any scratch in the screen... however, if you want to be relax, buy a screen protector... it would work in the same way....
