Minor install tip: if you wind up getting a bit of dust under the film, you can use the sticker they include (or "Scotch Tape," which works just as well) to remove the dust speck.

$10/pack, enough to cover 3-4 screens. If it ever gets marred, you just peel it off and apply more.

I am going to be pedantic and point out the screen on the back of the E-M5 is not an "LCD screen," It's an OLED screen.

LCD = Liquid Crystal Display
OLED = Organic Light Emitting Diode

If I wanted to be ultra pedantic, I would point out that 'screen' is redundant because of the 'D' bit, but I don't, so I wont.
Thanked by JStheoriginal.

Thanks for the pedantic corrections. I am guessing no one will be misled about the benefits, or absence thereof, of applying a protective film.

Right and I don't like the OLED on my $1000 E-M5. Not as bright and accurately colorful as the LCD on my $150.00 E-PL1.

Refer to your manual, it will tell you how to set-up the brightness and color of the OLED on your $1000 E- M5.

The problem with that is that you won't be able to use the touchscreen on the OM-D.
