    Hey Guys,

    I've got an m11x r2 and loving it, but the glossy screen can be really limiting for me at times, especially when outdoors. I've been looking into options of getting screen protectors that have anti-glare components, but from what I've seen while they do work to a degree there are also issues involved with the display becoming grainy.

    I was wondering if anyone had considered the option of replacing the screen itself with an aftermarket model that is a matte screen.

    Below are links to two examples of aftermarket matte screens.

    What are everyone's thoughts? Has anyone tried this out yet?

    Also I do understand that part of the glass/plastic covering of the screen also causing reflections, but if this was removed in some way what do you guys think of the resulting?
