We mentioned NuShield’s screen protector in our Back to School Product Review .
NuShield’s DayVue screen protector film was created to reduce the amount of glare users experience on their LCD displays. It is suppose to enhance daylight readability.
The DayVu is custom made and pre-cut to the size of your screen, so it is easy to install. It is thin, anti-reflective and filters out UBV light.
I found that the DayVu does reduce the glare on my laptop screen and while it does not pick up fingerprints easily my DayVu has scratched within the first days of use, so that was disappointing.
Another thing is the cut of the DayVu is a fraction off so if I have the overhead fan on in the room I am in it blows the screen out of place as there is no adhesive required to insert the DayVu. However, this may be partly my fault because I said my laptop is a 17″ screen when in actuality it may be 17.1″ or 17.2″. So if you decide to order one be sure to use exact measurements.
The great thing about this screen protector is that it can be used on most LCD displays (inside and outside use), not just on your computer.

This review is mostly concerned with the fit, which although a valid point, almost complete neglects the anti-glare property which is the main reason for buying this item. The one performance comments was “it does reduce glare.” Greater elaboration would be greatly appreciated. How much glare does it reduce? Does it make the device somewhat readable in bright sunlight? Easily readable?
How can I get a proper view if the film does not stay in place and keeps falling on my keyboard?
I did not use it in full sunlight and do not find the normal screen on my laptop “glares”. For the few seconds it stayed in place, I found the film made my screen darker than I would like. However, it is still readable, if that helps. Oh and it did scratch easily when one of my children moved it, so I am assuming that it would eventually scratch while in place depending upon how you clean it and what cleaning tool you use.
I use a screen protector from xoskins. They are cheaper and better than anything I have seen. No orange peel, no rubbery texture, and a lifetime warranty. You should check them out too
