RNS-E Glossy screen .

[crypric23]

Today i have just had my sat nav changed for the one with chrome buttons
( i like ! )

Any way it has a glossy screen , looks really smart , you know the kind you have on lap tops rather than matte.

I have not seen a chrome button one in the flesh before ,

is this just how they all are ?

Glossy screen's ?

 

[mattandrew]

glossy screens normally mean the anti-glare has been removed

if there were bad marks on the screen the anti-glare surface can be removed

I used displex on mine too. Some use Meguiars also.

So mine has the antiglare screen removed by the looks of it , although it looks really nice i must say.

The guys that swapped it for my non chrome button one . are going to exchange it for another when they get one in stock as used chrome button ones seem quite hard to get hold off. unless you pay silly money.

I am sure most people would not be that bothered , so if any one wants it PM ME.

What are they using Meguiars Scratch X?

I didn't know whether it was too abrasive.

Yep. IIRC 10Blazin did a thread on it.

I've not heard of the displex use on the screen, meguiars yes & has had good results.

Jonnie did a thread on this, thats something I missed, lol

Well it might look good without but the anti glare was put there for a reason....

It certainly was but it only has a marginal effect. And once you get a few scratches on there they show up in nearly all light conditions. I can honestly say that there has only been one time where I couldn't see the screen fully because the sun was at that perfect angle to reflect to me. And I can't say I believe that the anti-glare would have had any effect that time.

 

[NHN]

Ah that thread images have disappeared, typical, problem for my screen is sunroof would no doubt cause issues with light, only one way to find out as can always put a new matt film over it, I'll take the screen completely out from unit & casing & do it at some point.

 

[aristides]

What if the screen has a scratch that possibly has gone through the anti glare surface?

This would mean a new screen right? Or is there a way to remove it?

I will try to take a picture tomorrow, i`m so clumsy

 

[crypric23]

I do like it , but i would rather have one that has the screen protected , also i drove home tonight ( still daylight ) the reflection was quite annoying.

They are happy to swap it for another , so all good.

 

[NHN]

You can remove the anti glare & see to what extent it has damaged then maybe add a new anti glare film that with luck will mask any little scratch in the actual screen

Hi Nigel, how does one remove the antiglare screen m8.

[aristides]

Doesn`t the "heavy pressure" needed while using Displex damage the screen?

I don`t want to end up with bad pixels!

Ian pm sent : and Nigel evening pics as requested ( iphone only sorry )

Isnt that obvious from this thread

 

[mitch78]

It doesn't need heavy pressure, as you're only removing the coating, not a scratch in the plastic.

doh!
