Why Do Screen Protectors Not Match the Display Dimensions Provided by Manufacturers?
When purchasing a car screen protector, many drivers expect it to match the exact screen size specified by the vehicle manufacturer. However, once installed, they may notice that the protector seems larger than expected. This is because the dimensions provided by car manufacturers typically refer to the active display area, not the full glass surface of the screen.
At PIXSEL UK, we take a different approach—we measure and manufacture protectors that cover the entire screen surface, ensuring maximum protection for your car’s display. Let’s explore why this is important and why relying solely on manufacturer-provided dimensions may lead to insufficient coverage.
Manufacturer-Provided Dimensions vs. Full-Screen Protection
Car manufacturers typically specify the size of the visible image area, which is the portion of the screen that displays information. However, most modern car screens have black bezels or inactive areas surrounding the active display.
Example: A car manufacturer may list a screen size of 12 inches, but this measurement only includes the active display area. The full glass panel, including the inactive bezel, could be larger, making a standard-sized protector too small to fully protect the screen.
At PIXSEL UK, we measure each screen model individually to ensure our protectors cover the entire surface, not just the visible part. This guarantees that the entire screen—including edges and inactive areas—is shielded from scratches, dirt, and damage.
Why Full-Screen Coverage Matters
✔ Complete Protection: A protector that covers only the active display leaves the edges and bezels exposed, making them vulnerable to scratches, cracks, and dirt buildup.
✔ Seamless Fit: Our hybrid glass protectors are designed to fit precisely over the entire screen, ensuring a smooth, edge-to-edge application without gaps.
✔ Aesthetic Look: A protector that fully covers the screen looks more seamless and professional, without noticeable size mismatches.
✔ Easier Installation: A properly fitted protector ensures a bubble-free application, as it aligns perfectly with the screen’s natural contours.
