Reporting back on NuShield Screen Protector

[HarryWild]

Well, I have the glossy version of the NuShield Screen Protector and it is very close to the look and feel of the X-Brite technology. The Thinkpad 600X XGA screen backlighting is not as bright as the Sony and other competitors has; but the overall look and feel is the same. After all; you talking about 5 year old technology and the backlight bulb may also have faded too.

I really like it a lot! For $20.00; it a steal!!!! Makes everything more vivid and better on the eyes too!

More color is injected into the picture and you can feel the colors expressed in more detailed image.

Because it is not lite as bright; it will not be equal; but it is a light year or two improvement from the normal screen image that I had without the NuShield glossy screen protector!

I highly recommend it! It only $20.00 and with shipping included for my size!

In other words; it a bargain!

Great to hear! How easy was it to install? Does it slide around when you wipe it off?

I took it to a notebook service shop to have it installed. They had to remove the frame and place it in and tape it in some places. I think it is in pretty good. I think you could just loosed the framing screws to get the frame openings to gap and then place it inside and then tighted the screw in again.

Go to the a place that sells start of the art notebooks either the 24" widescreen XGA or the top of the line Sonys $2K plus and look to see if you like it!

Great and cool if you like the way it looks. However, is it really possible for more color to be injected into the picture, or for any colors to be more vivid? I mean in terms of physics and chemistry and biology?

You can always go into the display properties and turn up the contrast a bit.

only in terms of biology, but this is a family forum, so I can't say how!

[t41user]

The biology of the perceiver plays various roles in color perception in addition to surface reflectance properties and atmospheric conditions. Making adjustments in the software to hardware display properties can make obvious differences to color injection and vividness. I just don't see or understand how the nushield cover could do any such thing, except perhaps in terms of glare reduction.

[Leon]

thats what I meant!

[beeblebrox]

as far as I understand, that Nushield stuff only refocuses the light beams that are diffused by the etched surface of the screen, be it plastics or glass.

That diffusion is tha last process step in the manuacturing of the raw LCD front.

The Sony X-Brite uses a special compensation foil that drastically reduces the drift of colors when the main focus moves out of the direct line to the display. It is mainly used, I assume, in TN+ displays (Sony).
The IPS displays don't need this, nor do the PVA have any use of that.
That's I think is the reason that Sony started the trend with their Onyx displays.
When you go to Sony.com, there is a very good articel about the guys and the story of the Xbrite, that actually got killed as a project several times because people would complain of the glare. Why it has hit the market in the end... read the article.
The Sony Xbrite screens use 2 CCRs (top, bottom), therefore they are so bright. The ThinkPads have one at the bottom, like most notebooks. Of course, two light bulbs give more light than one light bulb!!

If you have a given amount of light from the display, you can not increase intensity by putting the Nushield on it, it actually dims the light. You only think it is brighter, because the non-glare screens diffuse the light, and with NuShield the diffusion is gone.

Just my 2cts.
