I bought a 13-inch MBp a short while ago and although the computer is great, the glossy screen at times becomes really annoying.
All the other MBp,s I have in the family, three of them, are 15-inch units with matte screens.

Has anyone tried any of these films one can apply to a 13-inch MBp to make the screen matte?
Something like the one described here:

Matte Your Aluminum MacBook 13” Screen + A Matching MacBook Stand (Updated) | iLounge Backstage (http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/backstage/comments/matte-your-aluminum-macbook-13-screen-a-matching-macbook-stand/)

Would appreciate any feedback.

I'm using the matte screen from Moshi

Moshi iVisor pro 13 (http://store.moshimonde.com/ivisor-pro-13.html)

There is no chance of getting air bubbles or dust trapped underneath this film as the adhesive is around the outside edge of the screen protector. The protector is easy to apply. I made sure that the film was centred at the top of the screen around the isight camera in order to get the best fit

The Moshi does cut the glare from overhead lights noticeably and it does not cause blurriness of the text/graphics on the screen. Fingerprints come off the screen easily with a microfibre cloth.

I've had the Moshi for almost a year without any issues or complaints. Most people who have viewed the screen on my Mac haven't said anything about the image quality. Only one person noticed the cutout in the film around the isight camera and that was only because he has a 13 inch Macbook Pro and he wondered why his screen didn't have the larger cutout

I'm pretty sure that I got the Moshi on sale for $30 from a local Mac store. Well worth the $ from my experience

--- side note ---
Before I found the Moshi, I used an older style 3M privacy screen. I found a 14.1 inch size in a local overstock store for $10 and its a decent fit for the 13 inch screen. 3M used a couple of adhesive tabs to secure the hard plastic sheet to the screen and its a clunky solution. I just left the privacy screen sitting against the LCD and it worked fine as both an anti-glare device and as a privacy screen. I did need to run the LCD at max brightness which does put a hit on battery life and was the main reason for the purchase of the Moshi

id disagree about the moshi screen not making text blurry. its a noticeable difference to me. granted its the best I've seen out of the numerous options out there, but its still too grainy for me to want to use every day

Are you using the old screen or the new one?
According to their web page, the new one is supposedly much better.

I just compared my old 15 inch MBPro (matte screen) to the 13 inch MBPro with Moshi. Text on the 15 MBPro does look crisper. I set up both laptops the same distance away from me and I could read both screens with no issues.

I don't know if I have the new version or the old version of the Moshi but I wouldn't say it makes the screen blurry. Maybe its a change of edge contrast that makes the difference? I wear glasses so blurry text would drive me up the wall. I can't live with the glare from the bare LCD so I am happy with the Moshi

don't take this the wrong way, but if you wear glasses don't you think you might not be the best person to offer opinions on something like visual clarity?

i mean....wouldnt that be a little like someone with hearing aids commenting on how a set of speakers sound?

fwiw i wouldn't necessarily say "blurry" is the word I'm looking for...its more of a haze. text doesn't appear as crisp, colours seem a little off...its just all a little hazy.

i mean..end of the day its a $30 screen were talking about..its not like its going to bankrupt you. i would just try it and if it sucks sell it or something.

true. but with glasses visuals should be perfect. They are called corrective lenses for a reason. ;)

*should* be perfect yes...

lots of factors at play though...

how long ago was the Rx prescribed? how have the eyes deteriorated since then? what kind of shape are the glasses in? is the Rx even right in the first place? then you've also got to factor in reflections off the lens, where the focal point in the lens is in relation to where the computer is, the calibre of material the lens of the glasses is made from...

just too much going on to offer an untainted opinion IMO

I disagree - making something simple complicated.

I applied the Power Support antiglare film (http://www.powersupportusa.com/accessories/macbook-pro-13/anti-glare-film.html) to two 13-in. MBP last year. The text looks good through the film, and I can't see loss of sharpness. There is a slight loss of brightness, but you compensate that with cranking up the brightness a notch or two.

I bought the film for my two friends from here (http://www.puremobile.ca/Power-Support/Power-Support-TV183LLA-MBP-13-inch-Antiglare-film/).

there is also a place in the states you can send the laptop to and for $200 they pull the display and re-jig it with a like model matte screen. i haven't seen one in person yet, but it sounds intriguing
