1tb OLED - screen protector or not?

[s_greyjoy]

Have some extra tempered glass screen protectors from when i bought the glossy LCD model earlier this year.
Would using a screen protector on top of the antiglare screen of the 1tb model mess with the image quality? should i just leave it without a protector?

You kinda defeat the purpose of an etch screen. Tape will fill those micro cuts and makes the entire glass entirely transparent.

It doesn't really. It does diminish the anti-glare but it doesn't wholly negate it. I have a tempered glass dbrand screen shield on my Steam Deck LCD 512GB launch model and side-by-side with a Steam Deck LCD 256GB launch model it is still noticeably better. Indirect light still gets diffused by the etched cover glass; but the smooth surface on the screen shield is more reflective and you will see more reflections than without a screen shield.

@OP it doesn't mess with image quality though.

Isn't this anti-galre thing just is a screen protector on top of the screen ?

No, it's a purposefully "matte" screen.
