Hi, my screen was changed to the Matte LL-80 after Danny (other half) tried to clean my original one and scratched it! Replacing is much easier than cleaning that's for sure.

I find the LL-80 much better to use. There is more indication of verticals being vertical and horizontals... well I'm sure you can guess. I much prefer it and the extra lines in no way detract from what you're actually viewing. We bought mine from SRS where Chris fitted it for me. It's a fairly simple process and the little tweezers are provided with the screen.
