Screen protector that won't rainbow with polarized sunglasses?

Anyone know a good screen protector that won't have huge rainbows when you put on polarized sunglasses. I feel like if designed right you can minimize them if you cut them at the right angle.. I have the Abstract Ocean one right now and while normally its good, it has huge rainbows :( Just curious if anyone has found one that won't be as bad?

I bought the matte one from abstract ocean and have no rainbows at all. I wear Oakley polarized lenses (prizm and reg polarized)

Yeah, from what I have been reading the matte ones don't cause a rainbow effect, however I do prefer the clear vs matte look personally, but who knows if the rainbows bother me enough and I can't find another I might make a switch.

I thought the matte would bother me too, but it’s barely noticeable. I don’t even remember what my screen looks like before I put the matte on

Thanks for clarifying. I bought the Matte but have polarized sunglasses. That large of a screen I am very concerned about the glare so matte seemed the way to go. Glad to hear that won't have issues with my glasses.

Yes. But I suppose different brands of glasses may have different results.

It shouldn't matter. Sunglasses are linearly polarized to reduce glare from light hitting horizontal surfaces. That's why they do such a good job of removing the dash reflection off of the windshield.

Ditto here and same glasses. I actually went the matte because in the evening on my way home (pre-virus travel) the sun comes right through the passenger side windows and reflects right into my eyes. Not a problem with the matte,
