-WARNING: Since this is a matte foil, it does reduce the overall brightness and contrast of the screen. It also adds a colorful noise to the picture, since the matte surface bends the light towards or away from the individual subpixels. Removed mine after about a month, even though it did a good job on protecting the screen. --[[User:Imitation|Imitation]] 10:47, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

-I purchaced the 14.1" wide screen protector for the reason that from my calculations I could get the most screen protectors from this size with least waste. It gives 20 protectors when cut as I describe. I wanted the film to extend under the outer case so no foreign matter e.g., dust, could get under it. 305mm / 5 = 61mm, 190mm / 4 = 47.5mm.

 These photos show how much of the film will be underneath the top cover. The film could maybe be cut exactly to size and therefore not require disassembling the case.

-A scalpel and metal straight edge give a good result but a pair of scissors may work ok. Place the scalpel on the mark and bring the straight edge to it, this is more accurate method of cutting with a knife. Two or three passes are necessary to cut the film. (The scalpel blade if sharpened on a finishing stone will make this easier.)

 . Peel back the protective cover from the one corner of the adhesive side (be careful not to touch the adhesive, as it might leave a mark)
   Double check the screen is still free of dust and grease etc.
 . Align the film and press on it while slowly peeling off the adhesive. Make sure there are no bubbles trapped. If there are lift it off slowly back to the bubble and reapply.
-. As can be seen in the photos the film didn't stick at the bottom of the screen. I will try to fix this in the next day or so.
