    Don't know about that brand, but I know a few users have had success with buyviewguard.com and 3M. You have to be very patient though, since it's easy to get air bubbles. Make sure you clean the dust from the screen first if you're particular about things like that.

    Yeah I'm used to cleaning the air bubbles out of screen protectors and all that good stuff. So do you recommend that brand over the ebay one? How does the anti-glare actually work is it much better?

    I have tried one on My Psp before. The colours will look less vibrant. But it will of course get rid of all the glare.

    Cheers

    Do these glare protectors even work? All the anti-glare protectors only seem to blur out the reflections. It's still not much better and the colors seem less vibrant.

    Well we can't really compare your psp with a dell studio xps 16. The glare is different especially the screen type.

    You can compare it a little, after all the original PSP screen is just as glossy as my Studio XPS screen.
    Also, a light was just above the PSP, still no reflections.
    If you got the same brand Screenprotector for your Notebook as for my PSP, I am sure the results would be similiar good.

    I am not sure if they produce this Screenprotector for a 16' notebook though.

    Measure your screen and compare it to the sizes here:

    http://www.buyviewguard.com/en-us/

    I'm not sure if it would be 15.6" or 16.0", but the dimensions of each are given.
