@acidrock - if you look closely at the photo, this product looks more like a plexi shield than stick-on tint. I previously owned two rear projection sets (a 60" and a 72") and raised my two young boys at the same time. On my first set, the screen "took one for the team" when my boys were rough housing in the living room and gouged about a 6" by 1/4" scratch across the lower right quadrant of the exposed and unprotected screen. We had to live with that for several years before the set was replaced. My next purchase, I upgraded to a Hitachi Ultravision set and didn't hesitate a second to pay for the virtually invisible, integrated screen protector. The screen looked absolutely perfect right up until my ex took it in our divorce.
My point to all this is, if this product is done well, it can be nearly invisible and for those of us with either small children (or grandchildren!) in the home I can speak from experience that it makes a heck of a lot of sense to play it safe and protect my high dollar investment. It was NO FUN having to watch everything with a gouge that took seconds to make and years to replace.
