I bought a very expensive DSLR so thought I would avoid the cheap protector screens I have used in the past - for two reasons. First, I hoped a top end expensive protector would be better, and second, my camera has a touch screen, so I thought I would be actually touching the protector a lot more, which I am finding to be true. It is a very smart, very nice product and clearly better made than previous protectors I have used on lesser cameras which cost a third of the £12 I paid for this. That said, when time came to fix it to the camera, I set myself up in a little used, quiet room to avoid airborne dust, I used the lens cleaning micropore cloth I have, then I used the cleaning tissue supplied with the protector. I quickly opened, positioned and applied it per instructions - a bit like wallpaper, you put one short end in position and make contact, then 'roll' the rest slowly, applying some pressure to remove air bubbles as you go. This worked well, but for one problem. Despite scrupulous attention, I still ended up with two tiny dust particles, one bigger than the other. Trapped under the screen, removal is possible but how to get them off the screen without introducing more dust is hard to imagine, so I just left it as it is. Over a couple of days, the two spots flattened with use of the screen. One is virtually gone, invisible, the other can be seen when camera is off, but also smaller. So as it stands four and a half stars out of five for the protection. There is another problem, however. This is advertises as non-reflective. It is simply not the case. The original camera screen is higly reflective, and I was hoping this protector would solve that problem. Using the camera in live view, without a loupe, is a problem for me. After installing the protector, the reflection is the same if not worse than the camera screen 'bare'. That was 50% of my reason for buying this one, albeit at three times the price of others on Ebay. I will probablly buy another brand soon, and replace this one, which is a shame because the quality is really good. Maybe the dust was my fault, but I have put screens like this on four other cameras in the past few years and never had this dust problem happen. This time, given the cost of the camera, and the cost of the screen cover, I was far more careful about fixing it but still got the problem. As to the refectivity, that remains disapointing and why I may buy one or two other brands to find one that does not have such a high level. Using a loupe is ok but inconvienient, and it means I can't swipe the screen etc to the next image, or to focus/shoot, or to zoom. The eBay seller refunded me when I mentioned the problems, without seeing them, but I did send photographs which illustrated the refectivity which they are forwarding to the makers. If you need a good protector screen, these are very good, but be careful when fixing them, to avoid dust completely. If you need non-refective as a priority, then I could not recommend these, despite the quality of the product. Sorry guys, but you shoud not describe these as 'non reflective' because the cheap type I have used in the past are far less reflective and better for outdoor live view shooting.Read full review

I have used the GGS Larmor self-adhesive screen protectors on several cameras as they do a great job of protecting the display screen. You need to take care fixing the screen to prevent dust getting trapped or getting air bubbles under the screen, but then that is the same for any make of screen you fit. The D850 is the first camera i have with the touch screen but the GGS protector does not prevent it from working as it should, which is great news. I have never bothered to fit any of the protectors for the small top display as its not so easy to scratch due to its location, unlike the large back screen. All in all I see this as a 'must have' item when i buy a new camera body.

Sensitivity and clarity are great. It takes a bit of time to fit it seamlessly, but when done so looks like it is part of the camera, protects both screens. The large cover could be about 1 or 2 mm's longer

I have fitted Larmor screens to all of my Nikon DSLRs as I regard it as essential preventative maintenance to avoid accidental screen damage. HIghly recommended.
