Does it ruin the hd aspect of the screen?

Honestly I don't watch movies with the phone so I havent noticed. Im sure the hd would be better without the armor, but I am happier with the protection. All in all, I dont find fault in the anti-glare version.
787381
Well, you can't have it both...Either it is hd or anti glare. I opted for anti glare because it is easier to read the screen in the sun but you lose some of the hd. Hope this helped.

It is kind of foggy when you look at it. It distorts it about as much as a privacy screen does...

Although some say it is clear, it's NOT crystal clear. I purchased the matte version, so no, it's not nice and shiny and perfectly awesome video. It IS however a finger-print free CLEAN surface that's easy to swipe, which is exactly what I wanted. I don't use my phone to watch video...I have a tablet for that, and I probably would not get a cover like this for my tablet for that very reason. I have to say that I really do like this protector for my phone, though.

I don't think it does. When I first got the phone they put a regular screen protector on and the glare and fingerprints were distracting.

It is visible. It has to be in order to be anti-glare. But I wouldn't say it ruins the HD aspects of the screen. Think of a very light window tint on a car window...can you tell it's there? Sure. Does it "ruin" your view of the outside? No.The change is so very minor that it really doesn't make what I consider a noticeable difference...until you go outside in bright sunlight and are actually able to see your screen.Any small degradation of the sharpness and vibrancy of the screen is much more than offset by the ability to actually see the phone in bright lighting conditions.

The color is muted slightly but overall you cannot even tell the screen guard is on the phone.

I wouldnt say it ruins it since the screen is still Hd quality and you can tell that. It kind of like wheb you have that thin sheet of plastic on a new electronic. Its hard to tell its there but you can see the refraction of the light from the screen which gives it a textured looo. It honestly doesn't bother me when I watch vids or anyone else that sees vids on it and the benefits from it Trumps any minor loss of clarity

I wouldn't say 'ruin'. It probably does affect it slightly as it has a slight texture. I don't watch movies or videos on my phone that often, and when I do it annoys me a lot if I can see my reflection in the screen during parts of the movie/video. So for me, the non-glare aspect is preferable to the super-clear HD. I watched part of a movie on it before I answered you; it looks okay but there is a texture to the protector so probably if you watch a lot of stuff on your phone you might not like it - you'd probably be better off with a super-clear protector. Glare and fingerprints bother me more than the little bit of texture. I wouldn't say 'ruin'. It probably does affect it slightly as it has a slight texture.

I would think so. HD only has to do with the resolution of the picture. So I would say yes but not definitely positive. If it doesn't as long as you keep box and all you can always return it.

No. A bit of deet sprayed on the screen once in a while would probably solve that issue. Still, look around. This thing is not great. See my review.

Actually the screen never when on correctly. It still has an edge up on it. So I guess the answer is , Yes.

My understanding (although somewhat limited) is that you may be able to view the video, but that it will be degraded to something below the High Definition standard. I believe that display of High Definition content requires a "secure" connection (using High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) for the entire path from the source file to the display device. If your computer does not detect an HDCP compliant connection (such as would be provided by an HDMI port and cable) then it is required to degrade the video to something less than full HD.

I think we're experiencing image burn-in on our 2 1/2-year-old 1080p LCD TV. When an HD show is on, there are now visible vertical lines marking where the sidebars of standard definition programs would be, almost as if a standard size screen were placed over the widescreen. There's also some shadowing in the top half of the standard screen area. This is most noticeable when the picture background is light colored. We had no idea this would happen. We were considering buying the Samsung model you've got, but we spend more than 5% of our TV time watching standard definition programs, and many of our DVD/Bluray movies have black bars on top and bottom. Maybe we'll just get by with our current set until the image burn-in problem is eliminated.

Correct, you will get a scaled image at the lower native resolution. Fine for most video, but it will definitely make pixel-perfect images like overlays and in-camera peaking blurry.

Hello Zachary,Our product is crystal clear and wouldn't cause any sort of distortion on your iPad's screen. Thank you for your inquiry.

Mine puts on the screen exactly what's on the TV. If it's HD, it fills the screen but,if not, it leaves black spaces all around the picture. I hope this helps but I don't think it answers your exact question.

No, and I don't like it at all. It gets easily dented and distorts images. Looks awful, but it does protect the screen.

Not at all. I was worried about that as well,however I have not had any problem with the clarity of the HD.

The quality is pretty good, but you may have to configure it. I was unimpressed with the first pictures until I realized that there are settings for it. Select media, then push the gear at the bottom of the screen. Select "quality" and you can select from normal, fine and HD.

I put an anti glare protective screen over the griffin screen protector. But of course you lose some graphics quality, but not much.

No, It will not disrupt anything about it, but the screen will have to be very clean before installation, because you will see dust particles under it. The case is a very good protector in case it fall out of your lap or storage case. It's a good investment.

Yes.. no problem at all. You can even flip the image so you can project backwards of the screen

Yep. It's like a halo around the characters, especially on grey or blue background. No difference between vga / dvi / display port (have not tried hdmi)

Yes ,but carefully use ,I did use carefully now the side of screen isn't good
