I Tried a Matte Screen Protector on my M1 Macbook Pro 

I was watching this video because I am considering buying this same porotector for my Bacbook Pro 14 to avoid delamination and if I ever sell it I can offer it in the best possible conditions and also because I don't like shiny-glossy screens. But reading a comment about the damage to the laminate that Apple installs, I remembered that I have a faulty Macbook Pro 13 with a matte protector since I bought it in 2014. I just removed it just to prove his point and he is absolutely right. The glue created a "map" with all the laminate that stuck to the protector. I don't know if Apple have changed the lamination procedures or if the protectors have improved the quality to avoid this damage, but now I don't dare to risk it. Be careful.

wow i love that rain wallpaper

I have a screen protector on my 2015 MB from the beginning...it helps avoiding finger prints and dirty and damage to get onto the glass...quality wise it is good

Getting those bubbles and tiny dust particles is super tough, it looks worth it though, nice video

The Brightness only goes up to 500 Nits in SDR Mode and can go up to 1600 Nits for HDR Content Only. Although the Display is capable of handling 1000 Nits of Sustained brightness (which can be enabled using some apps)

Very good review and video. Thanks for you opinion 😁

Im from a sunny place and usually take my m1 air out with me. I was literally thinking of selling it away cause i am starting to despise the glossy screen. You literally cannot see anything. Just see the difference at 4:19, from having some minor light coming in, you are still able to see the screen and get some work done. When you took it off you immediately saw your own reflection. The macbook screens are so glossy its like a mirror almost.

I try it damage panel ,So sad. I think it never design for use protected

That Lenovo thinkpad screen is so good. Wish more laptops made matte screen finishes.

Excellent video, thank you. I've been on the fence regarding using one. After watching this video I know it's not for me. The diffused light would annoy me more than the reflections :)

Thanks you for honest and conscise review. These are rare in the internet nowadays

apple should just have a matte screen option. the problem with apple is that they think they know what is good for the customer and not the customer.

Thank you for the straight to the point review. i appreciate this a lot. Amazing quality tho!

Why so ? Sounds so strange ?? What could be the reason any idea ?

After watching the video I think u deserve more subscribers

1. My whole purpose is protecting screen so should I use screen protector? 2. I don't care about glare or reflection I just need vibrant picture so which one should I pick?

I think you have to clean the screen before installing it. After clean the screen by using microfiber, you have to use scotch tape to pull the dust seeing in the sunlight. In my country, everything must have a case or screen protector, it is usual custom :). By the way, thank you for your video ^_^

5:05 For a moment, I thought that was a real window with rain outside. Anyways, great review!

I always have screen protector for my iPhone, tab, etc however I don’t have the courage to use screen protector on my Macbook 😆

Can you still close the laptop fully using a screen protector?

Great vid

I have problem with glossy screens because they make my eyes so tired when I use them for long time. Don't know if it's worth getting a macbook pro 16inch if it has a glossy screen.

bro I am scared because, a friend is working at apple and he told me that the screen can be damaged (crack or so) with a protector when the MacBook is closed, because the gap Is so tight when the device is closed. i want a protect against scratches. because I get mini scratches from stuff (small like sand) if I close the device I guess (don't know where it come else)

Hello is it ok to use screen protectors on macbooks? Specifically macbook air m1? I always worry if i gonna scartch my screen whenever i clean it. That's why if i can put screen protector, I can stop worry scratches.

Is this type protectors which stick on the screen harmful for the display ? Is it safer to use magnetic protectors ? Pls someone comment !

You missed the point though... The "matte" part is just an add-on to what you bought. It was mainly a screen protector first then matte second :D

Where did you get the rain video wallpaper

Does the screen protector wear off the coating, Lenton does

Do Mabook Airs have this problem?

UPDATE: So several people have mentioned the "delamination" issue when using a screen protector with MacBooks. This occurs when a screen protector is removed from the screen, often times removing an anti-glare coating from the screen too. Although I did not have this issue, some research into it would be wise. My protector was installed for less than 1 day with no issues. However, it's something to be aware of when using a screen protector with any Apple laptop.

greeeat video

I was advised not to install this because the problem is especially when it is removed, because the anti-reflection coating is also removed, is this true?

That's not a 219 channel video, that's a 219k channel video! thank you sir...

I hate glossy screens, the glare hurts my eyes.

can i use screen protector on m2 pro???

Rainbow pattern white area

I can't remove my screen protector, how did you remove it so easily?

yeah but the matte thing kill the pop in the colours.

What windows laptop are you talking about? High end windows laptops are just as good if not better than macbook displays. Things are rocking 4k OLED panels (dell xps line, HP spectre line, and samsung ultrabooks) with the only downside on some of the PC line being refresh rate (samsung is doing 120hz though). Try it, it will help with your research too instead of making baseless claims.

Is it affecting the screen contrast??

there are horror stories of screen protector removing the coating or polarizers

I used screen protector for year and removed today, unbeliveable, but my wife`s macbook screen without screen protector looks better that my after screen protector. I will never used this again.

i hate gloss screens. i'm completely unproductive indoors with a gloss screen.

I could never live with that glare. Without the screen protector I can see you. I can see the lamp behind you. I want to get an Apple laptop but it would be taxing on me to see that all the time.

Even with gloss protectors, why put a screen protector on a non touch laptop screen?

I am watching on my MBP with matte screen protector, and I realized that the real benefit that I had in putting one is that I don't have to keep on wiping the smudges or fingerprints on the screen. very helpful for a busy college student like me.

Lie Your macbook on his display So it won’t hurt your mac’s hinge so much and it’s easier to apply thr screen protector that way

exactly what is the best screen protector? I just realized that I think I made a mistake and that is that the screen protector I bought is a GLASSPro premium tempered; Which I just realized is a bit thick and it's bordering on the edges of the screen and I think it can touch the keyboard with as little pressure as you can put on the laptop when it's closed. I think I shouldn't have bought something that thick. No experience but I think I learned something new. Another thing is that when I tried to remove it to adjust it, the screen moved like a wave, I would be scared if I wanted to remove it over time, this would break my screen.(?)

Matte or Glossy, which is better for the eye strain?

you should never install a screen protector on your MacBook as it will cause delamination

that application, yikes!
