The Stress-Free Way to Read Outside on Your Tablet

May 21, 2015

So many books, so little time!

Reading outdoors, whether it’s at the beach, the pool, or in your backyard, is a relaxing way to spend a warm spring or summer day. E-readers and tablets have made reading on the go a lot more convenient, packing your entire library into a single light-weight device. Now you can easily travel to the beach or on vacation without packing heavy, cumbersome books.

However, these devices often make reading outside difficult, as the sunlight washes out the display. With a NuShield DayVue screen protector, you can easily read outside even on the sunniest of days with no screen glare.

Is Your GPS Navigation System Hard to See in the Sunlight?

May 7, 2015

It’s the epitome of the American car-lover’s dream: driving down the open highway, sun shining, and the convertible top down. As your hair blows in the breeze, you hear the robotic voice of your GPS navigation system telling you that your exit is coming up. But as you glance at the screen, you realize you can’t see the display in the glare of the sun.

Gone are the days of struggling with enormous paper maps, or printing out pages of MapQuest directions. In recent years, GPS navigation devices have become the standard method of finding your way to a new destination.

GPS devices can come installed in the dash of your car or purchased after-market. With these systems, you can receive both audio and visual cues, effectively ensuring that you never get lost again.

LCD screens, however, are not always clearly visible in sunlight. Glare can wash out the screen, making graphics hard to see. This is true in every car (especially those with a sunroof), and worse in an open-topped convertible where there is no way to escape the bright light of the sun. Polarized sunglasses make the screen even less visible.

It’s certainly worth pointing out that distracted driving, such as squinting at and adjusting your GPS screen, puts you at a three times higher risk of getting in an accident. Does that mean you need to sacrifice your open-topped drive for safety’s sake?

How Instagram Superstars Can Extend the Life of their Smartphones

April 2, 2015

A beautiful sunset. Your carefully plated homemade dinner. Your child’s first steps. And of course, a few selfies.

There are so many picture-perfect moments in life, and you want to capture them all. Why? Because you’re an Instagram superstar.

But having your Smartphone or tablet always on-hand and ready to capture pictures can come at a price. Broken, cracked and scratched screens can mean an end to your photo stream. They’re also expensive to replace or repair.

The frequent swiping required to capture and share the perfect photo also leaves your screen covered with germy fingerprints, creating a haze over the entire screen. NuShield screen protectors, however, can protect and extend the life of your Smartphone while providing unparalleled glare reduction.

NuShield Extends the Life of Your Mobile POS System

February 26, 2015

If you’re the owner of a small retail or food services business, you might not have the capital that’s required to invest in a full-service, advanced point of sale (POS) system. The necessary hardware alone can easily run upwards of $3,000.

That’s why so many of today’s small business owners are using tablets and other low-cost mobile POS systems in place of a traditional cash register. Many cost-conscious businesses are even using smartphones to process customers’ credit and debit card payments.

But even though tablet computers and mobile POS systems are less expensive than traditional set-ups, they still represent a very significant investment. And if you’re like most small business operators, you probably take great care to get the most out of your digital investments by employing the best accessories. NuShield screen protectors are an especially smart and inexpensive way to get a bigger return on your investment in mobile POS technology.

Here are just a few of the benefits NuShield screen protectors offer:

How to Protect Your In-Car GPS Navigation System

February 5, 2015

The experience of driving down unfamiliar roads and highways suddenly became a whole lot simpler in the mid-2000s, which was roughly when in-car GPS navigation devices began catching on en masse. Almost overnight, the days of pulling onto the shoulder to wrestle with an enormous paper map were over.

In fact, thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of navigation consoles, even MapQuest and similar map-based websites have lately begun falling out of favor. Indeed, a vehicle without an LCD display command center today is practically considered suspect.

Your In-Car Navigation System Has a Potentially Expensive and Dangerous Downside

There is a downside, however, to having GPS navigation displays installed in just about every motor vehicle on the market today: The graphics on the displays can occasionally be very hard to see.

On some screens, excessive glare from the sun can nearly drown out any text or graphics, which can potentially be very dangerous. And there’s definitely nothing safe about squinting at your GPS display while you’re supposed to be concentrating on the road.

That’s not all: Drivers who wear glare-reducing polarized sunglasses while they’re behind the wheel frequently complain about the difficulty of reading their navigation display screens. Polarized sunglasses have become increasing popular over the past few years, and for good reason: they do a great job of reducing the sun’s reflected glare. Still, it’s a known fact that polarized lenses significantly reduce the visibility of images produced by LCD or LED displays. (Your in-car navigation system almost certainly has an LCD display.)

Remember to Include Screen Protectors with Holiday Gifts

December 24, 2014

Electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops are now integral tools that we use every day for entertainment, work, and study. That’s part of the reason why they make useful gifts for family and friends. However, it’s important to note some of the potential malfunctions that can come up during normal usage of electronic devices with fragile LCD or display screens.

  • Poor visibility– There’s nothing more frustrating than having to look something up on your cell phone and not being able to make out the screen at all. Although display screens are designed to achieve the utmost in clarity and precision, tablet or smartphone manufacturers cannot always accommodate all the different lighting situations in which a screen will be used. Glare can cause enormous visibility problems when it comes to using electronic device display screens.
  • Damage– The display screen on electronics is usually the most fragile part of the device. That means it’s susceptible to the ravages of fingernails, fingerprints, sharp edges, impact, and more. Over time, screens typically pick up scratches and blemishes that can eventually detract from visibility.
  • Built-up germs and bacteria– Anything that comes into contact with our fingers is likely to serve as a breeding ground for cold-causing microbes. Touch screens especially will pick up bacteria and germs over time, making it necessary to clean or disinfect them in some way.

Real Estate Agencies Benefit from Digital Signage

October 22, 2014

In the real estate business, visuals are key. Prospective buyers for homes and other residences want to know what the interior looks like and need a truthful representation that uses clear, HD quality pictures and one of the best ways to show that is through the right kind of screen. They can also use digital screens for other things within the office such as showing promotions or using it for internal purposes amongst employees.

Regardless, real estate agencies can benefit from digital signage both outside and in the office, but those screens will need something highly important: an anti glare screen protector.

Anti Reflective Screens & Screen Glare
Many businesses are making the switch to digital signage because of how easy it makes running a business that needs to convey a lot of information to their customers.

Restaurants have been installing digital signage in their establishments to show off their menu on a very clear, bright screen that anybody can easily read. Plus, the menu can be easily changed by updating the document on the computer that the screens are displaying.

The same can be applied to an real estate agency. Signage helps show as much information as possible without having to worry about handwriting it and all of the information can be easily updated, which can happen constantly in real estate.

But when you start installing the digital signage into the office, there might be glare from natural sunlight that can make it impossible to read the signs or even damage the digital screens.

October 15, 2014

When you feel like enjoying the nice weather outside while reading that best seller you’ve been dying to get into ever since you got it for your e-reader, one of the biggest things that can ruin this moment is reflected images on your e-reader screen from the sun.

Most e-readers aren’t well equipped for this type of situation and require you to either try and find some shade that will lessen the glare, put up the screen’s lighting and drain out your battery, or you’ll have to sit inside and read. However, there is a way to sit in direct sunlight without having to worry about reflected images and it all comes down to the right type of screen protector.
