Review on Zshion Yoga C940 14 Inch Matte Screen Protector - Anti-Glare Anti-Fingerprint (3 Pack) by Zachary Benjamin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

One of the strongest screen protectors with no bubbles

I bought this for the Lenovo Yoga C940 screen because I wanted a matte screen so I can work in the sun and not see the glare from the screen, not to mention all the fingerprints and smudges. Including 3 protective films. In my 20+ years of installing screen protectors on phones, PDAs (yes, Palm PDAs), and laptop screens, this is one of those rare occasions when I have to use a second screen protector, mainly because of the sticky side of the film VERY VERY static and very easily attracts small dirt particles. I will review the screen protector in each category: Fit - 3.5/5 - it fits well, covers all viewable parts of the screen but leaves a small border on the left and right sides of the screen. It has a cutout for a webcam. Anti-glare 5/5 - I like the matte finish of the screen. It doesn't blur the text too much and is still readable (I have an FHD screen, not UHD). Installation difficulty (1/5) - 5 - the easiest installation. It was pretty difficult. After cleaning the screen with a microfiber cloth, I usually remove the #1 shell completely, line up the screen protector, then put it on by bending the U slightly and guiding from the center to the side, then use masking tape to wrap around to remove any blisters/tiny dirt causing the blisters . It was a very bad idea. Because the back of the static page (which sticks to the screen) is VERY VERY static, it attracts dirt easily. After hitting the mole for about 20-25 minutes, I gave up. In addition, I also removed the #2 sticker to reveal the matte finish as permanent peeling/reapplying was easier without #2. Again a bad idea due to repeated light fingernail rubbing (trying to wipe away air bubbles) on the ends had a slight abrasion on the matte finish. The second try I did it differently and it was a much smoother process. I just removed the short edge of sticker #1 on the short edge of the screen and lined it up evenly with the bottom of the screen (I would suggest you tape something at the starting point so you have an evenly centered screen, mine is about 1-2mm, but I won't repeat it Once the left (or right) edge is perpendicular to the ground (and about 3-4mm from the edge) I slowly pull side #1, straight long enough to hold them in place when I notice a bubble I reverse the process and put #1 back on the back.This has allowed me to get rid of the dirt without exposing a VERY STATIC surface.Doing it this way without touching side #1 2 also made sure when wiping the bubbles it didn't scratch the matte finish it took about 10-15 minutes and I was able to install the screen without bubbles removed the tape and un d tried to remove all particles / debris but it turned out superficially it just won't stick. Overall I would say this is a decent quality matte/anti-glare screen protector but the installation process was a nightmare as the side that sticks to the monitor is too easily attracted by dirt particles. Sorry I forgot to take a screenshot before installing. But if you're considering buying this matte screen protector, you probably know how well the screen reflects. :)

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Good but not great
