Re: Moshi iVisor
..been using this a while now with a 16".
The two main questions regarding this seem to be "does it affect screen quality a lot" and "does it work well in terms of reducing glare / reflections".
When I put the thing on the screen it felt like a "downgrade". It isn't so much a "rainbowing" affect around the individual pixels as you sometimes have with these things, but the whole appearance of the display becomes a bit more "rough", a bit "grainy". At first this does look bad.
After a week I noticed that I don't actually, uh, notice it any more. And on the other hand I realized that looking at my laptop for hours has become more easy on the eyes really. It's more "calm" now.
The thing does reduce reflections very much. You do not see yourself / your room etc. in the dark parts of your screen any more. There is this sort-of "hazy" feel to it though, and in some weird, bright lighting situations this sometimes results in some sort of glare that makes things on the screen hard to see / read; bit hard to explain, it's like when there's a lot of light, but not directly on the screen but reflected from the table / the MacBok itself. In these cases the glossy display without the thing on it might be better frankly.
Overall it does improve things though, for me.
I makes the screen look more consistent regardless of where you are.
Oh and about the keyboard marks / smudges etc -
that's really good (the thing is very easy to wipe clean with a microfiber or soft cotton cloth).
