Newton rings are caused by having the touch screen being damaged a
bit in one spot. The plastic film overlay on the glass needs to be
properly supported by ITO "spots" to prevent these rings. It seems
that you have a bit of a problem screen that cannot be fixed except
by replacement.
A screen protector will not cause Newton rings on a Newton. The top
surface of the Newton touch screen is a roughened surface and this
prevents Newton rings from forming.
