After some days using the #Librem5 with the matte display foil I found that in bright dayligth the screen is less readable than without the foil.
Maybe I'll have to switch to a glossy one...
BTW: cut these pictures to size using gimp on the #librem5. Gimp is not entirely usable as it installs without modifications.
But it looks good enough for simple modifications and probably can be improved a lot if some of the plugins I'd not use anyway would be removed to save memory.
@chrichri@librem.one Now, 13 month later, the matte protection foil on my #Librem5 had to be replaced, because it started to come off in one corner.
This time I opted for the "Matte Lite" version of the ViaScreens screen protector. Installation went as smooth as the first time.
First impression: I like the "Matte Lite" version better, because it lets the screen appear brighter while still softening reflections.
Attached some pictures to give an impression of the difference.
@me @chrichri@librem.one could you link the actual screen you bought? I'd be interested in getting one for my L5
@silmathoron@floss.social, I ordered these
Purism Librem 5 Evergreen Matte Screen Protector N2239971
Purism Librem 5 Evergreen Matte Lite Screen Protector N6239971
Purism Librem 5 Evergreen Impact Screen Protector N5239971
from viascreens.com . I tried the two printed in bold on my #Librem5 Evergreen and they fit well if you place them exactly in the middle of the screens glass to avoid the somewhat rounded borders.
Here are two pictures of the #Librem5 witht the "Matte" display foil installed.
It is obvious that the foil reduces the glare a lot when compared side by side with the bare display of the #nexdock360.
