Wondering whether or not anyone has found a good quality LCD screen protector. Your input is greatly appreciated!

I have used the screens from ACMAXX on my K20D and K-5 with excellent results.

Thank you greatly! Are they available through Adorama or B/H?

ACMAXX are great. Get them on ebay from "onlinefred62"...

Ditto on my K-5, K-01, and Q.

The ACMAXX are great, you even get a protector for the top display.

Yes, forgot about that -- for K-5 and other models it also comes with top protector cut to fit. I've used them on my K-7, K-5, K-01, Q, and Canon S90. Saved my screen a few times at least -- it is the first thing to order with a new camera so you can put it on there on day one and not worry about it.

I use a GGS and it Works fine, not very expensive either

Thanks to all who have contributed! This is my first question post in this forum and I am extremely pleased with the amount if support! ACMAXX is looking like a pretty good choice, although I will strongly consider the CGS as well!

I am using a self portrait mirror for compact cameras... Mounted upside down, I can use it in liveview from below or from top.

I've found it for $20 (15€) on ebay : 3" VIEWPLAYER Self portrait LCD Mirror Angle Viewfinder

I've been using the GGS optical glass protectors on my last few cameras with great results.

I use the Delkin shade protector. It's a safety screen with a clip on pop up shade that makes it easier to see the LCD in bright light. Indoors, you can take it off easily. Less than $20.

I use a custom cut film from skinevo.com. it's impressive look at their demonstration video

You Tube

, but I would never try that on my LCD. they used to have a custom cut order section which no where to be found right now!
