Here's the poop directly from Nikon's website: High-definition, 3-inch VGA, TFT LCD monitor with wide viewing angle The ultrahigh-definition [920,000-dot VGA (640 x 480)], 3-inch LCD monitor with tempered glass provides a 170° viewing angle. The large monitor is remarkably effective when confirming the focus with enlarged playback images. The wide viewing angle enables easy recomposing of the frame in Hand-held mode with Live View.

I've certainly be using mine without a protector since day 1, and it's free of scratches.

The D700 and D3 LCDs are exactly the same, as can be checked in Nikon site under the tech specs. What is different is the built-in transparent protection of the LCD. In the D3 it is tempered glass, while in the D700 is the hard plastic found on every other Nikon DSLR. Xavez This is not correct and very simple to explain.
