I guess I should get ahead of this issue and grab a screen protector. What are the quality brands?
Are they removable fairly easily? One use and done?

About to hit 11,000 miles on mine, and have absolutely zero scratches on the screen. In fact, I just went out and cleaned it off with some spray and a microfiber cloth just to be sure...
What are you guys touching your screen with?? [emoji848]

For those of you that bought the screen protector for the head unit, is there any glare on the screen when the vehicle is out in the sunlight ? Does it help with glare or make it worse? Thanks!
I bought mine off amazon. I don’t have any issue with glare. The screen protector is not as clear like the ones you add on to your phones but I have no complaints about it. I probably would not have put one on if not for all the reviews I read up on the issues with scratches. I chose not to take a chance.

Mine looks like that in shade, now move out into the sun with a glare coming in from passenger side. I’ll bet you have scratches too.. it’s only under certain lighting conditions.

My 2020 has some light scratches, only can really see them in certain light. Likely happened when we got real dirty up in the Yooper recently and were using the touch screen.
Not really a big deal, but I went ahead and ordered one of the amazon protectors for it for some peace of mind. Figure if it were to take a big scratch I'd rather it be on a $20 cover.

Well I haven’t busted out my special UV light and microscope yet to carefully inspect every square millimeter, so there is a possibility that I have some microscopic scratches there somewhere. That picture wasn’t in the shade either...
Scratches are inevitable with any touchscreen, so I fully expect to have some noticeable ones before I’m done driving this thing. My cousin has a 2019 Platinum F-250 and has minor scratches on the screen already. Hell, even my Honda with a non-touch LCD display had light scratches and it was rarely ever touched, except to maybe dust it off once every year or so.

Just bought my 2020, I think I’ll invest the $20 on a protector. My last truck (F150) had marks on the touch screen within the first year I owned it ... spots where you touch it all the time... that never disappeared.

Honestly, that’s the best thing to do to ensure no scratches. I buy them for all my smartphones. I don’t think any manufacturer makes a scratch free screen.

Yup. Mine looks fine, unless at an angle. Easy to see using your phones camera. Oh well.
I read that a scratch removing spray will remove them relatively easily. I guess I will go that route.
it does add glare but not enough to be distracting on road.
if you look at the whole 2020 head unit, the screen itself is pretty diffused, and the side panel (where the controls are) are shinier.
adding the screen protector brought the screen to ~the same level of reflection as the side buttons. i was afraid of the potential added glare but i actually like how the whole unit looks more consistent now

I know we're talking about a dealership here, but that might be the most expensive screen protector ever... have any pics?

OMG $199...I only paid $9 for mine in summer of 2019. Works great, no glare or any other problems.

My screen does not have any scratches on it.
BTW I read on some other forums that those screen protectors can or will leave sticky goop on your screen that is basically impossible to get off. I will live with mine the way it came from the factory.

Toyota responded to my letter with a statement that the screen is not prone to scratches and that any scratches present are deemed to be the fault of the owner operator. It is not a warranty claim regardless of miles.
I also bought the most popular screen protector from Amazon and it is a farce. It came with no film on one side, making it a marred up mess when "New". Garbage.

Wonder if some PlastX or some type of polish would help the scratches
It removes the scratches.
