12" Screen Protector and Polarized Glasses

[jeffrt]

I just installed a glass screen protector from Amazon, and I'm finding issues with my polarized sunglasses on.
They mess with the screen image, especially if you tilt your head at all.
Pic looks worse than in real life for some reason, but it shows the effect.
Looks great without sunglasses on though.
Has anyone installed one that works well with polarized lenses? I think I may ditch this one.

I have it on my F150 and my wife's Escape. No fingerprints, glare, or distortion with polarized lenses. Their B Pillar protectors are awesome too!

Thanks. Do you wear polarized glasses with this one? I’m leaning towards glass. Not sure about the matte look.

Not that either are "forever" decisions, but I'm 99% sure you wouldn't regret the matte. I had similar misgivings fwiw - no more light angle frustrations.

I have to wear prescription glasses 100% of the time, I honestly don't know if my dark prescription shades are polarized - they may not be.

I hesitated about the matte, too, but I'm very happy with it.

Spigen is the go to company for any screen protectors I buy. At first I was leary about the matte anti fingerprint and did not know if I would like it. After searching every other option twice I finally pulled the trigger on the Spigen and it has been great. You only notice the anti glare when the screen is off and as soon as it lights up, you do not even know it is there. No glare is great.

This is the screen protector I used, and it works just fine. No problem with polarized glasses.

I have issues with my Maui Jim polarized glass without a screen protector. I just don’t hit my 12” screen with anything harder than a moist lint free cloth

I just purchased the Carwiner Screen Protector for 2021-2024 Ford F-150 12In Navigation Display, that Eskram mentioned. Don't have my truck yet, so once it arrives I will install this screen protector and hopefully there won't be any issues with it. Thanks for all this good information.

Lots of options here. Thanks everyone. I didn’t realize the Spigen was a matte finish too. I try to be super careful with my screen, but noticed a few super fine scratches in it with the sun hitting it directly. Figured I’d cover it before it gets any worse. I like the easy removal of a glass cover if I ever decide to remove it. I assume there would be glue residue if the OCD was ever removed, similar to window tint? @Gerry D , I’m curious how yours works out once you install it.

Once I get the screen protector installed I will post my findings. Hopefully it won't be too long, so be patient. It's up to Ford when my truck arrives.
