    Anti glare?

    Anyone using those anti glare sheets for your bird? Any downsides? Saw em on eBay and Amazon.

    The one I tried a few years ago turned the display into a mirror. NuShield Dayview

    I liked the NuShield when I had one on my last unit. Thought it helped reduce glare.

    The unit screens have anti-glare coating on them. You defeat that when you cover it with another surface.

    The older units with CCFL backlighting were made darker using those products since that is one more layer for the image to show through.

    I tried several, all of them sucked. I Did like the Zagg hd screen protector, saved the screen several times from scratches.

    I just got nushield for mine and am not impressed . It might stop some glare but the screen seems a little darker now making it harder to see without the sun .Not worth the 35 or so bucks . I could have several more crankbaits to cram in my box for that money.

    I adjust the angle, I still have the screen cover that came on it.Just never took it off. I have access to gorilla glass from The the manufacturer, but not wanting to pay the $$$.
