Actually many videos on my channel are sponsored, as in I get free products to review and are always mentioned upfront. But I try to review the products as factually as possible. I do buy some items occasionally to review. For this video, I had bought this screen protector because I received a free Benks one for review and I need to have some basis for comparison. E.g. I can only know if a product is overpriced when I know similar quality products exist at lower prices.
I prefer diffused glare vs hard reflections (which sometimes lead me to confusion while doing realistic paintings, as it introduces tonal, hue differences; besides that, I'm among the ones that find them more _overly_ distracting, but maybe I am part of a minority), but I don't paint outside - I do, but on traditional canvas & brushes. I had not thought about this effect with strong sunlight. It is quite stronger than in interiors, where it's surely almost not noticeable. I do notice loss of saturation (in the video) on color with that protector on when outside but under some shadow. Nothing important for someone painting outside, though, where full color accuracy is almost impossible. I mean, one counts on that already. It can lead to a certain effect: If your screen is showing desaturated tones, you tend to over saturate colors, as what is _really_ happening on the actual file is more intense than what you are seeing. I guess some retouch or even some fast color /gamma/ curves correction once at home in a more controlled environment would fix it for many purposes. I wonder if it's better in interiors with fully controlled lighting (daylight 6.500K (color temperature) bulbs, no open windows, no funky colored walls, etc, etc). I have an Eizo monitor with anti glare coating and yet the colors are totally intense, matching my CMYK color samples printed books, etc. I have the non proven theory that only with built-in anti-glare one gets a fully satisfying solution... But mostly with the top professional monitor brands, and not really to work outside (which is a nightmare for full color accuracy, though not needed for many styles). Overall, I like the diffused glare "aesthetic", as it reminds me a lot of more of actual printed paper. As one other nightmare is how much can differ light based color from pigment based color, and the headaches that brings to accuracy and to get the wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) which is not only the base of trad painting, but also any kind of printing. One reason why I have my hopes on e-ink (easier on the eyes, too), but in the state it is now, I predict no less than 20 years until e-ink has good color intensity and accuracy! :D. For now it is almost comfy for just reading and some sketching (maybe less eye strain), but the constant refreshing and lag make it even not that great for that. Still, hugely promising. Without the constant refreshing, some lag and "ghost" images that get erased after some refreshes, I'd say he Amazon Scribble is about the best for sketching, in terms of pencil feel (pure B/W pencil sketching, that is! Nothing more). SuperNote, Remarkable 2 and others which I have tested are still kind of laggy on the pencil and feel less like pencil (and I don't mean the texture effect or friction ("slippery" is never a prob for me), but actual good response like a pencil).
This is what I’ve been using since 2018. Zero complaints except the lack of installing tools I guess. I only work indoors though so the sun diffusion has zero effect on me lol
@@keerthan7558 really? Because I have a Wacom cintiq pro 24" since 2019 and it's my main display for work and the matte screen is still intact. Since day one i have been using felt nips so, maybe that really preserves the matte texture, I don't know.
Instead of using paperlike, I use a matte screen protector, it's more comfortable to look at and using a pencil is also not as slippery as using tempered glass
@@teohontech7141 paperlike reduces the sharpness of the screen more than just a matte screen protector, because previously I used paperlike on my iPad pro, or maybe because I bought a cheap one? but compared to the matte one, the price is similar but the matte one is more comfortable. btw now I use Xiaomi pad 6s pro
Any advice on the nano texture? I’ve been told by a friend who works with Apple and it’s not to use any as it defeats the purpose? But to keep the screen free from debris and use friendly folios, she also mentioned it’s advisable to use the Apple cloth for the purpose of Apple care claims, she however mentioned if you wish to use a normal microfibre cloth any will be sufficient as long as it’s only been used on lenses etc and not used for wiping rough surfaces down as it would be passed onto the nano surface

Nano-texture has less glare when it diffuses light. Basically allows you to see what's underneath the diffused reflection more easily. th-cam.com/video/jVDhiAT-HIo/w-d-xo.html
I have not tested many actually. Next one I'll review is Benks which is smoother. Anyway pen tip wearing off is not really a problem as replacement pen tips from AliExpress are very affordable.
For me after using both matte and glossy glass protectors, line wobble gets noticeable or worse. I don’t have that problem with a thin plastic screen protector. It’s the same with using longer metal third party nibs. My conclusion is the sensor of the pencil tip and its distance from the sensors on the screen is calculated and whenever it’s off by at least half a millimeter, it produces inconsistent results hence the line wobble. Not a problem if you draw and glide faster but it still bothers me whenever I draw lineart because I don’t always draw my strokes like that. Matte screen protectors are better for me as an artist. And I can attest that supershieldz is a great brand.
I've not tried matte glass screen protectors before. But for the glossy glass screen protector I've tried, Apple Pencil performance is affected. That's why I don't review the glass protectors.
I'm glad that *someone* on YT is still doing honest, unsponsored reviews. Thank you, Teoh.
That’s why this is one of my favorite art-tech video creators, he’s so considerate with the budget of most common people.

The durability is poor, in a couple o months, with constant use, the texture is gone.
Most of these matte screen protectors will lose the texture with time. But it's less than USD 10 for three pieces.
That's as normal as pen tips wearing out, even matte coating that's factory applied on displays wears down over use

After using removable matte screen protector I can never use a permanent one. I need one for drawing but have to take it off for Lightroom
Tahnks for the review :)) if you have the time, could you please consider reviewing the mothca glass matte screen protector?
The last time I reviewed a glass protector it affected pen performance so I probably won’t review glass protectors
This is the best screen protector of all time. And I’ve tried many. The best.

You can use any micro fiber cleaning cloth. It would be a stupid design if it can only be cleaned with Apple cleaning cloth

Great review. Could you also review Spigen Paper touch glass screen protector? thanks in advnace
I've reviewed a glass protector before and it affected Apple Pencil performance so I won't be testing these glass protectors anymore.
This the best matte protection screen I’ve seen!
have you tested the nano texture glass? How does it compare to it?
Nano-texture has less glare when it diffuses light. Basically allows you to see what's underneath the diffused reflection more easily. th-cam.com/video/jVDhiAT-HIo/w-d-xo.html
what do you think is the best matte screen protector that doesn't wears the apple pencil like sandpaper? (from what have you used or brands you know)
I have not tested many actually. Next one I'll review is Benks which is smoother.
Anyway pen tip wearing off is not really a problem as replacement pen tips from AliExpress are very affordable.
How does this matte screen protector compare to nano texture glass?
Nano texture has smoother surface, better image quality and has less glare with less aggressive reflection diffusion.
What is your opinion on matte glass protectors since they don't get scratched but they also have the same kind of texture on top of it
