Btw I'm referring to the wrap that usually comes with every display.Hello everyone,
This might be a silly question, and I'm being a bit obsessive but.
I bought a VX229H IPS, matte monitor screen. I also have been using the LDPE (Low-density polyethylene), plastic wrap for a week to protect it from dust after use.
My question is, does this constant putting on and taking of, of the plastic scratches the surface of the screen?
I have been researching a bit into physics hardness, regarding that "The principle is that an object made of a harder material will scratch an object made of a softer material."
Regarding LDPE, I've found the general material proprieties (it includes the hardness in Vickers measurement):
Hardness (Vickers) 7.75e7 ‐ 9.71e7 Pa (metric); 7.9 ‐ 9.9 HV (english units)
So my question is, is the LDPE plastic wrap a safe cover for the screen?, I know that TV displays also come with this same wrap.
Can anyone comment?

Any engineer here? Low-density polyethylene plastic wrap question.

Presumably the screen is glass, so no problem
