Protection for LCD Screen (VERY IMPORTANT)

King Tiger · 13th July 2004

Recently, one of our Sony Jedi post his thread of his crack LCD screen which cost him a lot in repair cost.

It serve a well reminder to all of us to be careful when handling our equipment.
For the main camera, body or accessories, Camera Bag act as a protection while we are on the move.
For lens, we have filter to act as frontline protection.
How about LCD screen, do we have a solid protector plastic like Nikon D70
to absord certain degree of small impact?

Sometime, I do ponder, what if (touch wood lah)

, my F828's LCD screen was hit by small, but direct impact.
Is there any protector screen for LCD for just basic protection?

Please comment.

I got one of those lcd protection sheet similar to those use for PDAs...

hmmmm, actually our F717s and F828s LCDs already have a layer of Acrylic over it, so it's more or less pretected from shattering/Cracking due to impact? If you want to protect it from scratches, one of those similar to PDA screen protectors will do fine.

The sony user who recently got his screen cracked was using a T1. The newer sonys like T1, P100, W1, now uses the same type of screen like canon does, without the protective acrylic layer. Hence they shatter/crack much easier.

I saw on earlier thread that there is an MO on daproduct lcd protector.
How does the actual thing look like?
Will it block the button around it?
