Decision summary

Anti-glare uses surface texture to diffuse light. Anti-reflective uses optical coatings to reduce mirror-like reflection while preserving more clarity. They solve different lighting problems. A good specification describes the trade-off explicitly rather than asking for the most premium-sounding option by default.

Buyer questionHow should anti-glare vs anti-reflective affect the protector specification?
