I bought an Accumax from that ebay seller in Fremont, Calif. 2 months ago and I havn't noticed any problems operating the touchscreen of my E-M5.

To try one is to love them

+1.I have it on my e-pl3.

Microsolutions are really simple to install.

Comes with a cleaning cloth and a sheet of sticky stuff to get the dust off before application.

Oly shipping protector off, clean, sticky paper, new screen protector on, a few minutes, no bubbles!

2 day shipping with Amazon prime done deal.

Interesting - I am happy to be corrected. I have one of their protectors on my M8 and there's no way it would work, so it's good to know that they've got a design that works with touchscreens.

I'm a little late to the party but I just got my replacement E-PL3 (my PL1's kit lens died, Best Buy couldn't fix it, so they gave me a shiny new PL3). I had an ACMAXX screen protector on the PL1 for about two years and it was great! The fit was perfect, it was super durable and didn't cause any noticeable distortion. I put the new protector on the PL3 today and it seems like more of the same. For $15, it's hard to beat these things!

That's interesting. One of the touted advantages of OLED over LCD is that it has a wider colour gamut.

From a Dpreview article on OLED:

Quote:

The biggest advantages of OLED displays are the things that photographers are most likely to appreciate. Firstly, the color gamut is wider than that of an LCD display, allowing more accurate reproduction of the colors of your images.

I think that the images displayed on my E-M5 look more true-to-life than they do when I get them on to my Macbook Pro. The new Retina screened Macbook Pro is therefore very tempting, but unfortunately I am not keen on the rest of the package those screens are attached to.

I wish I could get a laptop with a screen as good as what's on the back of the E-M5.
