LCD Sticker

Go to last post
Hi folks,

Has anyone tried these custom cut sheets for the 6900 from http://www.purplemoo.com .

All comments from your experience are appreciated. Are these any better than the Fellowes WriteRight Palm Protective Screen sheets.

I have been using the Fellowes ones( which work great on my Palm), but make the 6900 LCD a little grainy. They are still worth it. I strongly believe prevention is better than cure.

Thanks,
Vivek

Here is a short "review" for those who maybe interested.

The moos on my 6900 looks clear and transparent. Fortunately, it doesn't make the display look grainy as it has a smooth surface. There is however a very very slight loss in brightness when you first put them on. After awhile, it becomes "clearer" and the brightness is ok when the sticker sets in. Looking at the way it goes, a single sheet should safely lasts a year and more.

The sticker does not feel like it has glue, either that or it is extremely mild. I prefer that as it makes the sticker easy to peel off and in case you pasted it incorrectly, you are able to reposition it. I had once tried using a brand of Palm protector for about 2-3 months (trim it to shape myself as it doesn't come pre-cut) and it left a blotch of glue on the display screen when I peel it off to change (some stubborn dirt got trapped on its rough grainy surface). Rubbing the glue away took quite an amount of effort and I feared it may scratch the screen. So, kerosene was used to effectively remove the glue easily.

Vivek,

It is pretty scratch resistant. I haven't got any scratches throughtout my normal use yet. I believe like all makes of plastic/material, given time, anything hard, sharp or rough can scratch it. It has less glare than the display screen itself and more importantly it doesn't cause the display to look grainy (or moire patterns). Generally it looks pretty much like without the protector (pretty transparent) and after a while when the protector sets in, you won't notice it at all. Also as pointed out by the purplemoo people, the protector is specially designed for LCD screen and as such, the material, especially the glue is compatible with those screens and does not cause damage even if left on for more than a year.

I've shown my friends the camera and all of them didn't notice it until told.

Having seen WrightRights on my friends' camera and having used some brands of protection (screenface or something similar, can't recall but the one that leaves a blotch of glue on my screen!) I'll be using the moos for my current and future camera.

Alfred,

Thanks for the feedback on the moos -- one more question, since they have you specify your camera, I'm assuming that this means that the moos are already cut to fit the 6900 LCD screen -- right??
 
Yes, you're right.

Alfred,

Thanks for the detailed response. I'll have to look for these custom cut sheets in the U.S.. Do you by any chance have an uidea if purplemoo... ship to U.S. or if they have an affiliate here. I guess I'll check out their site as well.

Thanks,
Vivek
