Yes, but my reason as to why matte is only useful for drawing is because it tricks my brain that the thing that I'm drawing at is paper. It feels great, I really don't know about other things that it got but that paper feeling to it, is definitely a must have for your drawing tablet or phone if you're into drawing.
I had a matte screen protector on my phone for a while, the image quality looks terrible, a ton of scratches start showing up after a month of use, and the tiniest bit of oil on your finger makes it look like a mess. Also it doesn't make it any more visible under sunlight.
You probably bought a terrible one. I've seen those terrible ones and they make your phones screen like 240P. Mine reduces image quality by a bit but it's only really noticable for the notification bar and frankly I've gotten used to it. As for scratches mine has some but it's not very noticeable after 6 months of use. I agree that with the oil and the visibility under sunlight. I mainly enjoy it for it's smoothness.
I have a 1st gen mini iPad since its release and it has the matte screen protector and I had no problem for years so I guess you bought it from a dollar shop or something
I like the old school look it gives off back when the first flat screen TVs had matte screens, imo it’s either super glossy or matte the semi gloss screens suck on anything
I do have a matte protector, it’s very good, looks really clear and doesn’t seem too dim to me, I usually use it on 40% or less brightness anyways so ig I can just turn it up if it’s dim 🥶🥶
I have them on both iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. I actually like it better than the glossy one. I compared the brightness to the ones at the Apple store. You can see the way Matte degrades the brightness and quality. It hasn't affected me yet but I really like the lack of glare and it hasn't seen to lack any brightness. I also don't get any finger prints, which I hate on the glossy screen protectors. I feel that glossy also degrades the quality but not as bad as matte. One thing on the new iPhones is that you can see the punch outs more.
No, they don't. They reduce the screen contrast so you actually strain your eyes more. They only help with strong reflections, but it's a mobile device, just turn it slightly to avoid the reflection.
Currently using one. As a gamer, you'll love matte screen protector as sweats from long periods of gaming wont disturb the screen. And it's also resistant to fingerprints. As others said, the clarity and brightness really got worse but not too bad, those are sacrifice I'm willing to make

I already use a matte screen protector on my phone. And I'll admit it has more pros than cons. It reduces the chance of stress I couldn't have because of seeing the phone for too long as it has anti glare properties. It also makes the touch screen very smooth. And gamers would love it. Also I have sweaty hands which make normal screens easily dirty, but matte helps here as the moisture easily evaporates from screen
Been using one for 6 months now. It still looks good and helps me when I'm playing games because it makes my fingers slide smoother. The only problem is, yes, that grainy thing.
I used to have a matte screen protector and it was great for playing games but the image quality suffers a noticable hit so it usually depends on a person's use case
I tried the matte on may this year it still the best screen protector I had until today but as you mentioned it effects the brightness and the resolution
Wow. I have had a matte screen protector for a few months now. Purchased a super cheap one as well. This is better than any screen protector I have ever used. Was literally $2. Fingerprints and oil on my screen was such a nightmare back in the day now I forgot that was even an issue on phones and it's only been like 2 months
@@shuaunknown I think the company name was “motcha” and so far it’s pretty good. They don’t protect the bezels which kinda sucks but they’re still good quality
I have a matte one, and my opinion? ITS PERFECT, I’ve had it 9 months, no joke, not a SINGLE scratch, I also like never have fingerprints on it, currently, my screen protector is still perfect!
I'll add to that, I've seen a bad matte protector also which I bought for my father's Ipad, absolute trash that feels like shit. The one I bought from amazon for my phone and ipad is absolutely godly. Ive had mine on my phone for 4 years, and when I clean it with wet cloth, it looks like new, it's crazy. Something I dont see mentioned enough is that matte protectors are amazing for people with sweaty hands (me), i miss the vibrant display, but to clean the phone from fingerprints after every single use is fking annoying.
I'm using a matte screen protector from a few years and safe to say, i never wanna go back to glossy. I like to draw and the matte texture feels way better. I like the grain effect so it isn't a problem for me and my phone stays on half screen brightness all the time so yeah. Perfect for me
I have a matte screen protector and it’s awesome. Feels super nice and smooth, easeirr to see outdoors since it’s antireflective fingerprints are invisible and while it is true that it messes with the color a little bit you get used to it then can barely tell
After using a matte on my iPhone for more than a year now, i am never going back to glossy! Just love the love the feel & look of it. And The phones these days are bright enough to have enough brightness to get through.
I bought a matte screen protector once, and after removing it my phone got so clear 😂 like my phone turned from 480p to 1080p resolution. The only think I like about matte is that there is no finger prints and if your hands are sweaty and you like to play games then it's great for you
As for me, the matte screen protector is the best. It's pretty weird to see that the back of my smartphone looks dirtier compared to the screen and the part that needs more wiping is the back since I've changed to matte screen protector 🤣🤣🤣. Personally I like how less sharp the screen resolution is caused by the matte screen, it just feels pleasant to my eyes. The little bit of paper like screen is really comfortable to my eyes and the screen is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fingerprint proof compared to the standard glossy one. Without a gaming session or anything that needs you to touch your screen for a long period of time, the screen will be completely flawless all day long. Unless your hands are just that dirty, filthy........ Please wash your hands often.....
I watched this video on my phone which have this kind of screen protector, and yes it affects image clarity and brightness but I love it because it easy to clean and very pleasant to touch compared to glossy surface
Worth a try. Definitely for me, because I work outdoors and constantly trying to over counter my phone's lowering of the screen brightness in direct sunlight is most definitely worth a try.
I used to have a matte protector and I loved it. It was dimmer but I usually liked dimmer since screens back then didn't have that extra dim option. I was using it on a 720p tablet and it really wasn't a big deal for image quality since the image quality was minimal to begin with. overall I think I will try again if it works with a inscreen fingerprint sensor
I have a matte and security screen protector. I’ve had it on for two months and no knicks or damage to it. Usually my screen protector is full of cracks from normal use. This one is great, the brightness isn’t an issuer but the clarity is like going from 1080 to 480!! It’s def noticeable. But no finger prints and glare is amazing!!
Had a matte screen protector for months, it was great. The grainy effect annoyed me at first but I really got used to it and stopped noticing It. Tapping just felt satisfying and I didn’t have to worry about my greasy fingerprints.
I am now using these for like 6 years in repeating pattern, I like to put it on for few months and then remove it for few months. The best of all is that feeling of smooth paper like low friction when you put it on, but also the sudden clarity and gloss it gets when you remove it 😅
I really want to get a matte screen protector and have ordered one. I just like the feel and love the fact that it’s more fingerprint repellent. But, it’s important to get a proper, branded one because otherwise it’ll get bad, quick
I’ve had a matte screen protector. It looks great while I do notice it’s dimmer in direct sunlight. But I don’t think I’m alone in thinking it no longer looks grainy. I get compliments about the screen protector all the time.
Well I have personally used Both screen protector but I recommend the glass one because of the clarity. If you watch content on your phone go for Glass Screen protector but if you dp gaming or Drawing/Writing then go for matte
Pros and cons to both but I’ve been a matte user for 4 phones. icarez is the brand I’ve been using, they’re cheap so I don’t feel guilty about a fresh one every few months.
No it doesn’t. Mine fell on a very pointed metal object (don’t know how to explain this) and had my matte screen protector broken and not the iPhone screen.
@@zingyburger I think you either got VERY lucky, or we're talking about different protectors.. But usually, the type of screen protector that i meant is the one that's too plastic, that it doesn't snap/ shatters but instead, it bends (if that makes any sense). Besides it ruins screen visuals quality and viewing angels.
There are 2 types of tempered glass. You've probably brought the hard plastic- glass mixed. When you buy tempered glass don't buy those flexible ones because it won't absorb the fall damage.
You should definitely get a screen protector, one drop and you'll have to get your whole screen replaced instead of just replacing the screen protector.
@@joe_mama2399 dropped it plenty times, not even a single crack or anything, i personally don't understand how soo many people have such bad luck... one drop and all is broken lol happened to a few friends
Matte screen protectors are worth a try, but not a permanent option to me. The reduction of image quality with the grainy effect is annoying, especially because in some cases it also breaks the light that the screen emits.
Back then using this antispy screen protector since I have blackberry gemini. It s a trend back then, many people use this screen protector. I agree on Its screen brightness issue
I use one of these on my iPad mini 6 that stays in the car for monitoring/music, it’s perfect to eliminate glare so gauges are always visible without full brightness+it really doesn’t affect the quality a noticeable amount
Also, my inner screen cracked on contact, and the matte screen protector was somehow protected. It was so annoying since I just changed the screen recently
And I'm not settling for looking at a mirror when there is any other light source in the room xD I'm glad we have the option to choose whichever one we prefer :D
I've tried matte screen protectors before and could never get over the grainy, rainbow-ish colorization effect it gives to the display. I'm satisfied with the clear or glossy ones that retains the original display quality.
Honestly, it’s a left-right-left-right situation for me. When I use a glossy one for a few weeks, I want a matte one. And when I do switch to matte, eventually I crave for a glossy one because of the grainy distortion.
I got one a few years back and still have it. Pretty good thing. Others are saying how image qiality gets worse & ect, but mine didnt. Buy a good one and you wont regret it
So much hate on matte in the comments. But i personally love them. Aesthetically it looks good, smooth when scrolling contents, and definitely easier to clean. The only drawback is the decrease in screen clarify. Having it currently on my S21.
About the Matt Screen Protector helping with controlling pressure while drawing, Up until XS Max, the display had pressure sensitive features like 3D-Touch. Too bad they removed it, wish there was a feature compatible stylus for XS Max with palm rejection
if I didn't use my phone as much as I do, a matte screen protector would definitely be something I'd be looking to use, however as you said it could reduce the quality of the image of my phone, I wouldn't use one as I'm on my phone alot
matte is only useful for drawing tablets where friction helps to control line and pressure
Even then, they eat away at the tip of the stylus
Stylus sandpaper
@@kurnikov613 lmfaoo
Not really, I use my phone outdoors half of the time I use it, and glaring is pretty annoying so this protector helps with that
Yes, but my reason as to why matte is only useful for drawing is because it tricks my brain that the thing that I'm drawing at is paper.

Back then using this antispy screen protector since I have blackberry gemini. It s a trend back then, many people use this screen protector. I agree on Its screen brightness issue
tech-illiterate iPhone users about to ruin the contrast on their already outdated 60hz oled displays after 5 years of using a bad LCD 💀
Here’s a trophy for your expertise 🏆

I put one of them screen protectors on my IPad, I removed it since it made everything look less sharp.
Low quality ones make it less sharp. The good ones gets rid of glare without making it dull.
I use one of these on my iPad mini 6 that stays in the car for monitoring/music, it’s perfect to eliminate glare so gauges are always visible without full brightness+it really doesn’t affect the quality a noticeable amount
Also, my inner screen cracked on contact, and the matte screen protector was somehow protected. It was so annoying since I just changed the screen recently
They scatter the light like white paper instead of like mirrors and I honestly love the science behind that
I put it on and took it off a 1min after. There’s no way I’m settling for reduced image quality and lower brightness.
I'm almost always using my phone at 15% brightness or less. I wonder if a matte screen protector might be a good fit for me
And I'm not settling for looking at a mirror when there is any other light source in the room xD
I'm glad we have the option to choose whichever one we prefer :D
I've tried matte screen protectors before and could never get over the grainy, rainbow-ish colorization effect it gives to the display. I'm satisfied with the clear or glossy ones that retains the original display quality.
Honestly, it’s a left-right-left-right situation for me. When I use a glossy one for a few weeks, I want a matte one. And when I do switch to matte, eventually I crave for a glossy one because of the grainy distortion.
I got a duel matte and privacy screen protector for my iPhone 14 plus Red. I’ve never been happier with my screen an absolute killer
Yes, I would love to try one!
I’ve been using AG screen protector for well over a decade and can’t live without it. I wish phone would come with an AG screen.
I got one a few years back and still have it. Pretty good thing. Others are saying how image qiality gets worse & ect, but mine didnt. Buy a good one and you wont regret it
It is really great to play games with this types of screen protector. Since you wont have that much friction that with regular screen protector.
So much hate on matte in the comments. But i personally love them. Aesthetically it looks good, smooth when scrolling contents, and definitely easier to clean. The only drawback is the decrease in screen clarify. Having it currently on my S21.
I have one on my phone and i love the way it feels while using my phone
About the Matt Screen Protector helping with controlling pressure while drawing, Up until XS Max, the display had pressure sensitive features like 3D-Touch. Too bad they removed it, wish there was a feature compatible stylus for XS Max with palm rejection
My favorite type of screen protector. The ceramic. It doesn't crack too. My only complaint is the loss in brightness and the graininess
I have a matte screen protector and it feels so good
if I didn't use my phone as much as I do, a matte screen protector would definitely be something I'd be looking to use, however as you said it could reduce the quality of the image of my phone, I wouldn't use one as I'm on my phone alot
I’m using one on my iPhone and I love it. I barely notice the grain
Over time the screen protector will become glossy because of skin oils, but cleaning it will restore the lovely anti-glare screen.
I wish they would have these to put over glossy laptop displays, those are horrible
Well, they do 😃
I had this on my phone for like 2 years, after removing it the display got heavenly better looking
