Screen protectors: matte or not?

I went with clear for our Model 3 and have ordered the same for the pending Model Y. Some will ask why a protector is needed if I am not even changing the finish and went with something invisible. All I can say is that I like the knowledge that the screen is protected, even if the likelihood of needing the protection is negligible.

We went with matte. You're going to get fingerprints all over it, and while it's not that difficult to wipe it clean, the matte finish hides them more then glossy.

Also, matte helps when the sun is directly on the screen.

100% agree. We bought matte for my wife's MachEGT and liked it so much we bought the same for my Model 3. I haven't cleaned my screen since I installed the protector (2 months ago) and have no visible fingerprints.

I don't have a screen protector and haven't had any close calls that would make me think I need one*. Mind you there have been no younger kids in the car ... but don't they have to go in the back anyway these days?

* Clearly I have now invited disaster!

I bought matte for our M3 and and quite happy with it.

My concern with matte is does it not make the screen look really dull?

Could you share the make and source for the screen protector please?

I’ve gone with matte.

Seems the consensus is matte, ordered the Spiegen

Clear on mine, no issues with reflections or anything

 

[Nick77]

Matte. Greatly reduces reflections and reduction in picture quality is barely noticeable.

I’m considering removing mine. Put it on when brand new and I’m not sure it’s had any purpose other than to increase the level of finger prints

 

[RCM11]

Matte. This is the way.

Is it matte or normal and what brand did you fit?

Spigen from Amazon. Comes with an easy applicator that aligns it and everything

I’ve gone for the matte Spigen one like others have suggested. I‘ve used Spigen screen protectors on my other devices with the same install method. Really easy and quick to do.
