Do screen protectors help ?
Do screen protectors help ?
A year or so ago my partner hit one of my console graphs with a tungsten weight. Had a RMP screen protector on it, shattered it and the graph was fine. $50 well spent
Even if they only help with the ability to clear the screen the money is worth it. I use Graph Glass and all I have to do is use my sleeve to wipe the screen and all the water spots come right off.
Sounds like a good investment!
I have RMPs on all my Garmins.
RMP's saved my screen twice
Yes they do. You just have to choose between fuzzy or annoying mirror finish.
Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.
100% they help. It seems like it's weekly someone is asking in the Garmin groups "how much is it to replace my glass?". Unfortunately, that's not an option. $50 well spent
I did a video on a trick i use to install them, if you go that route.

YES……. The biggest decision is clear or no glare. I have clear and it saved a screen, but is very bright /reflective. I would like to try a no glare to see the difference.
I use Graph Glass. Whacked 1 Helix with a 3/4 tungsten. Shattered the screen protector. Nothing happened to the screen. I’ve had both anti glare and clear. I won’t use the anti glare again.

In my experience all they do is add glare
After running the anti glare for about 5 years I finally compared regular and anti glare side by side on a blue sky sunny day. The anti glare functions more like privacy glass and if anything makes the screen harder to see in any light.
I cannot say for sure. but considering the costs why not. Precision Sonar Graph glass. Broke a screen this past year without it.

They are probably great at protection but they sure kill the sensitivity of the touch screen. I have 1 Live 12 and 2 Pro 12’s.
