What Good is a Fishfinder without a NuShield Antireflective Screen Protector

July 18, 2024

The calendar says it July and the lakes, rivers and ocean are teaming with fish so get out your rods, reels, hooks and pack them all up.  Clean up your boat and get it ready to go.

If you are adventurous then you might want to take part in the 2024 White Marlin Open tournament which will be held August 5th through 9th. This is a 50-plus-year-old deep-sea fishing tournament held annually in Ocean City, Maryland. The tournament awards prize money for catches of white marlin, blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, dolphin and swordfish. And the prize money is outrageous. In 2023, over $10 million dollars were awarded.

These anglers not only have to know the good fishing spots to catch the large ones, but they also rely on their electronic fishfinder instruments.  But the last thing on their mind should be eliminating the glare on the fish finder or GPS. And you probably have the same problem when you’re out on the water where most displays wash out in bright sunlight, making it hard to read the screen and see where the fish are hiding.

The best was to solve this problem is to install a special screen protector film over the display that will make the display visible again and also protect the screen from damage by the constant sunlight. The reduction of the sun’s glare will allow you see which way to point the boat and you’ll still be able to read the screen. How many times did you try to cover the display with one hand while steering with the other? And if you wear polarized sunglasses you have to take them off every time you look at the screen.

The NuShield DayVue antireflective film cuts down glare from the sun and gives your fish finder a level of protection that is not possible with factory coatings. The film does all of the hard work, including protection from scratching, smudging and it is even resistant to oil and other petroleum-based products. And if you are a salt water fisherman, the salty spray from the sea will no longer scrape or wear away the original protective coating. And if you wear polarized sunglasses you’ll find that the screen will still be visible.

The film has a tacky rubberized backing that is easy to apply. NuShield has many sizes to fit virtually any LCD displays found on fish finders, onboard GPS systems, tablets, laptops, and even your television. Just press it on, smooth it out and push out any bubbles trapped beneath the film. That’s it!

NuShield has led the field in screen protection, glare reduction and scratch safety for over 20 years. We currently provide film sizes for over 15,000 devices, ranging from smartphones to large television displays and we add new sizes every day as new devices with different sized screens become available.

Remember, you can’t escape the sun on the open water. Protecting your electronic display from sun damage is essential for a good captain. From scratches, salt water and glare, the NuShield DayVue film is the best way to help your GPS last longer. That is just smart boating.

Why wait? Get your fish protector ready for the season and order your screen protector today. Can’t find your model or size, contact us with your model and size, and we will cut a screen protector to fit for you.

Metal Detecting More Fun With Nushield

June 18, 2024

As Summer begins more time is spent outdoors as people gather on the beaches and in parks. This time of year also brings out the metal detector enthusiasts who are looking for lost coins, jewelry, and various metal relics in historical parks. You see these folks with what look like sticks and a device sweeping the ground waiting to make contact with a piece of metal.  And many are quite good at this and find things left behind.

If you might be thinking about stating this hobby there are many companies such as Minelab, Garrett, and Nokta. They all offer multiple devices at various price ranges for the expert as well as the beginner. There are also local clubs around the US and the world that you can join. An organization called Focus Speed lists a directory of events as well as articles about equipment and how to find local clubs.

However, once you get out into the field and the sunshine you will notice that the display on these detectors become dark and unreadable in direct light and especially if you are wearing polarized sunglasses to help your eyes see well.  For this reason many “miners” purchase the NuShield DayVue anti-reflective screen protector film. This easy to install overlay film is circular polarized so that the user can see the screen with or without sunglasses in direct sun and it also works with polarized sunglasses.

Most of these displays are small enough for the NuShield Cut to Fit kit which offers two pieces of film, template papers and cleaning wipes. They come in two sizes, 4” x 3” and 3.8” x 2.2”.  Easy to cut, easy to install and will last a long time.

NuShield is a popular screen protector film recommended by users on group forums.  With over 25 years in business, NuShield is a leading manufacturer of glare elimination films for outdoors as well as indoors. From small devices to large television displays NuShield already offers or can easily create new film sizes for any display and it also works with touch screens.

NuShield Congratulates the Graduates

May 13, 2024

To all those graduates who did not have a proper send off from high school because of Covid restrictions, here is your chance to walk with your fellow students and take your bow.  It is your day and your parents are proud to watch you walk up to the podium and take a picture while you receive your diploma. And the same goes for all the high school seniors who are also graduating and moving forward.

If you are a proud relative of a graduating student, you will probably find yourself sitting in the football stadium or out on the great lawn during the ceremonies.  If your seat is on the wrong side, the sun will be over your shoulder, reflecting glare on your phone or tablet display.

So before you head out for the big day, make sure that you buy and install a NuShield DayVue Anti-reflective screen protector on the display.  The DayVue film helps to eliminate reflective glare and when paired with polarized sunglasses, completely eliminates glare from your vision.  The DayVue film also works with regular sunglasses or no glasses at all, but you might have to angle your device to find an optimum position where you can see the image without reflection.

The NuShield DayVue screen protector was created for moments like this, when you are outdoors in direct sunlight. It is used by our military in the harshest environments to eliminate glare and reflection. This same film is also used by motorcycle riders and drivers with convertibles so they can see their gps displays without distraction.

The NuShield DayVue screen protector is a thin film with a slightly tacky backing that installs in minutes and stays in place until you remove it. The film protects the screen and can be cleaned easily. NuShield has an extensive list of cameras, phones and tablets on its website to fit your particular device. If you don’t find your device, NuShield will be happy to create new film sizes – as long as you provide the measurements – at no extra charge within 48 hours. Don’t let sunglare ruin your graduation celebration, order your NuShield DayVue film today.

NuShield Guide to Major Motorcycle Events in 2024

April 25, 2024

As the weather gets warmer it is time to get that bike out of the garage and start planning touring trips on the weekends. This is especially true in the northern regions where we suffered through a snowy winter. It’s time to get together again with friends and plan weekend outings. If you want to meet up with other riders and make new friends the Cyclefish.com website lists the major rallies and bike weeks around the U.S. between now and end of 2024. The organization has close to 43,500 members, photos, blogs, businesses and lists over 44,000 events.

These events include rallies, biker parties, poker runs, rides, charity and benefit events, motorcycle swap meets, bike shows and more. It is a great source for information and to learn about what is going on. Getting there is another story. In the old days you had to prepare for a trip by looking at paper maps and charting your route. Today, you have a GPS that keeps you on the right path. Some bikes like Harleys come with a Road Glider GPS built in already or the BMW Motorrad series. Or you can fit a GPS such as a TomTom or Garmin on your motorcycle handlebar to guide you.

However, many devices have a very weak display that washes out in direct sunlight. You are left struggling to read the screen, and you may miss exits or get lost. Although some navigation systems come pre-installed with a protector film, it is no match for the strong sunlight, even when the LCD screen settings have been adjusted to the optimal. To deal with this problem, some bikers started wearing polarized sunglasses or helmets with anti-glare shields. This did not solve the problem and to some extent, it made it worse.

The DayVue anti-reflective screen protector is probably the best answer on the market to help you solve this problem. It is manufactured to make it possible to view the display screen when the sunlight hits the display. The film traps glare so you can read the display and because it uses circular polarization technology, it works even better when you wear polarized sunglasses or use an anti-glare or polarized face shield. Your screen also gets extra protection from scratches and burnouts from exposure to direct sunlight. The editors at Consumer Motorcycle News tested the NuShield film and were very impressed by its performance.

This same film was created for the US military to help soldiers in the battlefield read their electronic device display screens. It has stood up to the harsh environments in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is also used by the Andretti Autosport Grand Prix racing team who installed the DayVue film on their in-car digital dash to help Formula One racecar drivers read their displays in bright sunlight. The open cockpits and polarized helmet shields made it impossible to read the display prior to installing the NuShield DayVue film.

The NuShield screen protector uses a light tacky adhesive that can be easily installed. It also does not leave any residue behind if you need to remove it. The extra screen protection is essential for your GPS screen. With several motorcycle rallies planned for this year, you can’t miss taking the DayVue anti-reflective screen protector with you to get an edge.

Just go to the NuShield website and select the manufacturer of your bike or GPS from the “Brands” pull-down menu. Then look for your GPS model. The film type you need is the DayVue. Then just place it in your Cart and check out. It’s simple as that. It is time to start getting your bike ready for the summer. Order your NuShield screen protector today!

NRA Restaurant Show

Dining Electronically, Almost Futuristic

March 18, 2024

Imagine a day when you walk into a restaurant. You are greeted by a large display screen that shows the available tables in the restaurant. You select the table and the number of guests by tapping on the screen and entering your name. Lights on the floor direct you to your table where there is a tablet waiting with the menu showing. You select your order and in a couple of minutes a robotic tray brings out your food. After you finish and ready to leave you use the tablet to pay for your meal with a credit or debit card and off you go.

Sound a bit futuristic? Not as far off as you might imagine. 

At the recent Restaurant show in New York City there were various companies featuring food automation robots that can make your food, server bots that can bring and take away food trays and scrubber bots to clean the floors. These robots now take us further into total food automation. Automated vending machines, like those created by G&A Robot, can now cook up meals at the touch of a button, not just store drinks and snacks. Robots made by Todo Robotics can handle several food trays and bring them to tables or take away the dirty dishes.

As you know many restaurants have adopted electronic handheld ordering systems to take your order and also accept payment if paying by credit card. A wireless POS system, such as Micros, TouchBistro, ABC POS, Boxy POS, BIM POS, Clover, ShopKeep, Toast or eZeeBurrp, make it easy for servers to take orders which goes directly to the kitchen, speeding up service and the delivery of your food. All a restaurant needs is a WiFi network throughout its building, and communication between the kitchen and the front of the house is easy.

So where does NuShield come into the picture?

All of these devices operate using an LCD touch screen. But there’s a problem with most screens; they reflect light back into the user’s eyes, in the form of glare. This is inconvenient and makes the device nearly unusable. However, there’s a simple solution. By installing an anti-glare screen protector such as NuShield’s Triple A film on the display screen, glare can be easily eliminated. The display will also be protected against scratches, scrapes, drops and cracks during a busy workday.

The Triple A screen protector comes pre-cut in a variety of sizes, so it’ll fit perfectly to any display. Just peel off the protective liner then smooth it over the screen. It’ll stay firmly affixed, but can be peeled off whenever necessary. And because it’s such a thin film, the display will retain all its touch screen functionality. The Triple A film also has an anti-bacterial feature which kills germs on the film surface, preventing germs to pass between users. As more restaurants employ POS devices, the need for NuShield films becomes even greater.

Contact NuShield Inc. for the best anti glare screen protector made. NuShield has been a leader in screen protection for almost 25 years, and has been providing glare elimination and screen protection for the most unique applications. We currently provide film sizes for over 15,000 devices, from smart phones to large TV screen displays, and we create new ones every day. Can we make one for your device?

Keyence IM-8030 Measurement System

NuShield DayVue Screen Protector Film Becomes Vital Component of Space Program

February 27, 2024

HAMILTON, NJ – NuShield, a division of Princetel, Inc., an industry leader in LCD and LED screen protection, germ and glare-elimination technology, has been named a preferred vendor by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., better known as SpaceX.

The NuShield DayVue anti-reflective screen protector films will be used on Keyence inspection equipment to help determine that various spacecraft parts are in compliance with specifications.  NuShield is also supplying film for displays in other parts of the production process. We expect one day our film will be used to reduce glare on displays traveling in space to destinations like the Moon, Mars and beyond.

For the Keyence inspection equipment, the DayVue film provides protection to the glass surface to prevent scratches from the constant placement and removal of parts while providing 99% visual clarity. NuShield has had a long-standing partnership with Keyence and its customers to provide the DayVue film for various measurement and inspection equipment.

The NuShield DayVue film protects displays with anti-reflective coating from damage and it also upgrades a display without anti-reflective capabilities for better performance. The film has several top layers with a carefully chosen index of refraction minimizing the blue end of the spectrum. This means that the screen can be seen clearly even with polarized sunglasses. The DayVue largely eliminates blue-violet banding.

The DayVue screen protector uses a slightly tacky silicone rubber instead of a traditional pressure sensitive adhesive, which means the film can be easily applied and removed, and will not trap air. The film is resistant to a long list of chemicals and can be cleaned with solvents or rubbing alcohol without affecting its properties.

NuShield, based in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1998 and manufactures other screen protectors such as anti-glare, anti-microbial and privacy films for over 15,000 electronic devices with LCD, LED or plasma displays up to 100 inches diagonal.

New York Boat Show Introduces New Equipment

February 6, 2024

January might be cold outside, but in New York the Javits Center is filled with summertime fun. At the annual Boat Show manufacturers and dealers were exhibiting their newest boats, engines, equipment and accessories. NuShield visited the show to find GPS equipment offered by manufacturers from Garmin, Humminbird, Lowrance, Simrad and Si-Tex-Kodex.

Although most of these now have glass-like surfaces with anti-reflective coating there are still issues which these new displays do not address. A major one is the problem with the screen turning dark when the user is wearing polarized sunglasses.  NuShield addressed this issue with its DayVue film that keeps the display light even when wearing polarized sunglasses.

Another issue is the salt depositing on the display and when wiped off, can leave scratch marks over a period of time.  Also, the constant exposure to the sun can burn the glass on the display. By installing the NuShield DayVue film it is a cost effective solution to protect the display from marring and sun damage.  NuShield has added over 30 devices to its database and are available for sale. 

The NuShield film is easy to install and will withstand the harsh weather conditions on the water while providing excellent protection for the instruments.  Check out all the GPS, Fishfinder and monitor devices on our website.
