2011-05-25
You are looking for something to protect your precious laptop screen. Laptop screens are special. They have a protective coating on them already, which you have to make sure to keep intact, or your laptop will seriously deteriorate in quality. Without this coating, you will not be able to see what's on the screen clearly when it is subjected to sunlight conditions. And, that's just one thing that might happen. It is also possible that using the right cleaner might give your laptop screen a sickly green or blue hue, which could ruin its picture quality altogether.
