This MOD was a complete FAILURE! DANG IT! 

Agree. I did mine with an old 4:3 2000s laptop screen. After a year I wanted to try the paper trick but used too little water and killed it. Using high luminance 12v white LEDs does the trick at the same time without using the paper and water

The film I use on my house windows(reflects heat) comes off with vinegar/water mix. Imagine the glue should be the same. Vinegar takes the glue off.

I've almost accidentally made it using old Samsung 5:4 19 inch monitor. It consisted of 4 or 5 layers of some type of polarized filter, flat lens, polycarbonate glass and lighting layer. I was just curious about how those things work😅 Anyway in 2020 that monitor came to the end of its life

Acetone.

Uhh actone could just destroy everything @@shawnshurtz9147

You can test by using a pair of polarising sunglasses- from your track days

@@SighManP or just a piece of the polarizing layer he removed :p

@@MarcusBuer Only if it actually is only the polarising layer - testing with what's been removed will result in confirmation bias and potential false positive

@@SighManP I mean, the polarizing layer is the only layer that stops image from being visible, the other layer is just anti-glare. These are the only layers after the glass substrate.

I made basically the same comment than read yours. I could not believe I was not the only one who noticed.😂

Correct I've found that all the newer gaming monitors the polarized layer is molecularly bonded to the anti glare sheet... it has to be an old LED monitor like 1080p max or just a really cheap Walmart screen that's thick... not thin... plain LED with no extra tech built in!!!

@@rkaidag74 I actually think it's just one sheet now. It's cheaper to make, uses less material and keeps the screen a few microns thinner. Less sheets, less chance of de-lamination, too.

@@kyoudaiken wouldn't surprise me at all...

An escape room we did once had this. You would find a polarized sheet and then you could see the next step on the monitor.

I agree, they removed the polarizing layer.

So essentially the monitor was fine, you'd just need polarized glasses?

​@@SolidusgamingTVyes

There's actually mods where you use the polarizing as glass lens Like just cut it at the right shape, replace the lenses and boom spy glasses and screen

would have been great too if it went correctly, but yeah we also learn from these failures... what NOT to do...

@@Wrecker3D I just like that he put the video up instead of trashing it! It is great content!

speak for yourself. i learn by many means. if failure happens, i only learned what not to do.

​@Wrecker3D Tony Star- I mean Jay always learns from his mistakes

This is the kind of thing where a company would really have to step up and take a gamble, maybe a major case manufacturer order some screens constructed as such to use for built-in side panels in some high end cases, something that could kickstart enough of a market to warrant an increasing supply of screens like this. It would certainly be a gamble though, I'm not sure that would be the cheapest of features to add to a case lol. Ayy, there's definitely SOME people that would buy it though.

Well I don't need to light my wall on fire to find out that's not a good way to remove the paint but sure, we can call this a brief moment in the steps to greatness if that helps.

@@JJFX- funny you should talk about paint and fire because I work with paints and there's a new product available called FSA Firecoat, which was developed with the help of UNSW because homes in NSW were burnt to a crisp after the fires of 2020. Point is that I wonder how long it would take for a PC company to come up with the idea of manufacturing an LCD screen right into the glass panel so you can buy a case with this already built in.

@@NuttsnBolts I'm no expert but hasn't flame retardant paint/coating been a thing for a long time? Regardless, I'm struggling to see how that would make much difference in a significant fire considering how flammable the rest of the structure is. I do have a little bit of experience when it comes to custom screens though. The main issue is the manufacturers of decent displays like this will only do orders that custom in pretty significant quantities. So a case manufacturer would need to A) use the the same size display in any such products and B) sell enough of them to justify it. It's also not going to be cheap making point B even more difficult.

@@JJFX- not as an acrylic, water based paint and most fire retardant paints are can typically only go up to around 300°C compared to that of an actual bush fire

@@NuttsnBolts Interesting, I'll look into it. If it's actually effective I have some applications where this might be worth trying.

its actually harder to find a modern monitor that dont come with antiglare coating than removing the antiglare coating on monitors that come with them

@@saladbetch8235 Cheap laptops are good, tho they usually go as far as 17 inch.

It’s an amazing solvent, it’s not cheap but I don’t waste my time on anything else

Or just use straight naphtha which is one of the best general adhesive removers out there, which is why REMOVE is essentially just that and an alcohol.

I think I need sleep. I read trial and terror.....

or a hairdryer

Yea I know right we in the wrong business fml🙄

If the polarizer layer itself IS the warranty void sticker, sure. And to be fair, even if Jay tried to warranty this screen it will obviously get denied, with or without there being a sticker XD

whoooshhhhh @@DJRaffa1000

still using my u2711 and don't want to change.

@@damirkvajo It is a great monitor for sure. I moved to a 40" 4K Philips like 5-6 years ago and for a while I used the Dell as #2 monitor with it rotated 90 degrees, however eventually I came to the conclusion I hardly ever looked at it. The 40" 4K offers close to the same dpi as the Dell so for their different size it was a great combo, it is just I don't need desktop area. at work it is a different thing and there I do run a 40" 4K + a 27" 1440p.
