Veteran Experienced X6x Tablet Users: Screen Usage Upgrade?

Screen Protector: Crystal View vs Photodon Anti Glare 1 vs 2

This information is on a different forum but I'd love to have your take on the comments. I am sure this will help other X61 Tablet users as well.

This is for my Thinkpad X61T Tablet.

So, even though the Screen Protector Shootout is not over I think in the interest of economics I am going to probably go with the Photodon ones.

Now, first I wanted to get some idea of whether I should go for AG or CS out of the review or one of both (still affordable to try).

At the same time, when I went to their website I found 3 of them. Which was the AG that was reviewed and which one was not? And how is the third one different?

Can someone please shed some light?

http://www.photodon.com/lcdprotect-sheet.htm#charttop

12.1 inch Standard


Anti-Glare .009" $11.55
Anti-Glare Thin $11.25
Crystal Clear AR $13.55
9.69 x 7.24 " - (246 x 184 mm)
Actual Diagonal = 12.1" (307 mm)
Lenovo x61 series 12.1"
One $2.50*

How are the 3 of them different? Especially which one or which 2 should i go for?

I do not want to buy all 3... I might go for 1 or 2.
REVIEWERS COMMENTS AND REPLY:
The ones I tested were AG .006" and AR .0055". I really liked the AR one because it preserved my screen's glossiness. I'm not a fan of the AG because it adds speckling, even if your screen is matte. From what I've heard, having a matte screen with a matte screen protector makes the situation worse. I think getting one AG and one AR would give you the best of both worlds. That way, if you find the AG isn't to your satisfaction, you can just remove it and put on the AR.

Just a note: the photodons are very prone to smudging but will wipe off with a bit of glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. The best glass cleaners to use are ammonia-free. Let me know how things go for you.
I am guessing the X61T has a Matte Screen. I am wondering what would be the best?

Thoughts? Opinions? Reasons? from experienced Tablet Users.

Don't use a screen protector myself.
Gottabemobile has been running the 'competition' for a while now and have reviewed many common screen protector brands.

To the VETERAN / OLD / EXPERIENCED users of X6x Tablet, from what you KNOW with your experience with the Sparkly IPS Screen of the X6x Tablet.

Is it Matt or Glossy?

Which would be better... The Anti Glare or Crystal View ?

LCD is definitely matte. No such thing as a Glossy IPS.

Personally, I haven't used anything on my X60T and although my next serious Thinkpad will be a X6x tablet I'm certain that I'll stick with that decision. No need for any "enhancements" IMHO.

My $0.02 only.
