All iPads Screen protector or not for note taking? LCD vs OLED

[Mity]

Do you guys use screen protectors to take notes? I've been using the Bellemond, which is made in Japan, starting with my first iPad the 2018 iPP. I also used it with my M2 iPP and it always performed very well. I found it much easier to write on than a bare screen.

However, I'm having major issues with my M5 iPP. I've tried Bellemond and KCT and both show horrible light refractions creating a grainy display, which I did not get with my previous LCD iPads. However, without a screen protector, the new display is impressive.

So, either I will have to return the new M5 iPP and buy a refurb M1/M2 iPP to use with a screen protector or learn to write on the bare screen. My handwriting is horrible without a screen protector. If I choose to keep the M5, how long will it take to get used to the feeling?

I’m using Rock Paper Pencil by Astropad, from Amazon. Been using them for about 4 years, they are great. BTW they are designed to be removable and reapplied if you like. Very paper like.

@Davidalan Do you get a grainy display on your M4 OLED iPP? How noticeable is it?

Yes there a textured finish but they are micro and virtually no grain in appearance.
