tanner83 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 In several reviews I have seen that the MLT 8 inch screen is poorly positioned(angled) and is quite the finger magnet. Has anyone with a MLT/MFT screen in a previous car ever put a screen protector on this screen similiar to what many do with their smart phones??

You can use the Fusion one since they are the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stentgraft95 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I just asked that in the Fusion/MKZ one jokingly. You can use the Fusion one since they are the same size. So you're saying they make a screen protector for the 8" MLT/MFT screen? If so, where can they be purchased? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I highly recommend one. The NuShield ones are great! Ordered one for my Edge the week I bought it. The original one has lasted over 2 years now and reduces glare/fingerprints significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billtkat Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks for the info ... ordered one yesterday. Which one did you order? I was one the site and selected the 13 Fusion and gave me two choices but was not real sure which would be best - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billtkat Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just so I am clear before I order - Is the 2012 nav screen not the same size as the 2013 ? I see the 13 fusion listed , is it the same size for sure ? thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I don't know, I'm use to using touch devices and I always have a means to keep my screens cleaned (my sleeve or the edge of my palm). For my cars, I keep a small microfiber wipe in my center console, I'd prefer not to apply any unauthorized protectors on my screen since it often causes more harm then good, especially since the display is plastic and the car's interior temperature is so extreme.

Completely unfounded worry. The screen protector on my Edge has been working just fine since I put it on over 2 years ago and the benefits have been well worth the trivial cost and ease of installation.

And how does it control the reflectivity of the screen? It's already so anti-reflective to the point it actually refracts too much light and washes out the screen. You can't really change those properties since it's built into the resistive layer over the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already so anti-reflective to the point it actually refracts too much light and washes out the screen. You can't really change those properties since it's built into the resistive layer over the screen. Why would I remove it? If I did, I'm sure an alcohol wipe would remove any residue from the screen. It's what came with the cover and what I used to clean the screen prior to applying it. If anything, the protector cuts down on glare making it more visible in certain lighting situations compared to without it. The surface is far less reflective than without the cover.

galangg Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hadn't even thought about this. I figured a microfiber cloth would do to keep things cleaned. I've never experienced the glare issue with my tablet or iPhone before. I'll have to keep this as something I might do once my MKZ is delivered (whenever that might be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgman Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 The sales person told me the Dayvue version wouldn't really help with finger prints because it has a more glossy surface compared with the other model which would show less fingerprints but be a bit harder to see in daylight.
