My sister has horrible chronic full body affecting migraines with LED, fluorescent and other lighting except old incandescents... Long story short, after we saw this video, we took apart an old monitor and used just the LCD and lit it with incandescents so she can use a computer again without getting sick. It's not perfect, but it's on the right track. Just wanted to say so glad I found this video!!! Thanks!!
holy cow--i wish i could talk to you!! i just spent major $$ on a Sun Vision display monitor--better than regular LED but not great. thinking of e-ink--i have Qs before i buy...was thinking of doing what you did--removing the light. i'm not mechanically inclined-can you tell me-are you? Was it easy or hard to do? Did you watch anything else that helped you? where did you buy the incandescent light and what was the brand name of it…i know it’s been 3 years, so thanks if you answer...
@cpet3589 I can give you an advice on what monitor to choose for this project and how to do, it is pretty easy. The first one took me 20 minutes on first attempt.
They sit next to each other but look to the side at each other through the screen lol Or they sit on either side of a table and just STARE at each other
Me: hating any light or anything that makes the screen hard to see. Them: making a screen that's harder to see and that captures light from all angles just because looks cool. Me: "Well, that sounds inconvenient. I want it."
"Are you excited?" Joob: **yes** "Are you gonna help us disassemble it?" Joob: **If you mean break it, yes, I'd love to. If you mean tactfully and carefully take it apart, then no**
I personally would have tried to put LED strip in the side slots to light the LCD screen to see if it works without having to have a light in the background
I've taken a few PC monitors apart and they all had side-lit screens, however they also have diffuser dots on the acrylic plate and a light reflecting sheet at the back, I don't think this could be done without something to move/focus the light through the screen
most displays these days are so called Edge-lit. That basically means having a led strip on the side of the display. So it would work but it is important to angle it towards the display because with an open envoirement there is a lot of bleeding of the light from the LED strips!
@@EvanAndKatelyn I’m not saying children don’t need to watch Bill Nye, because _BILL BILL BILL_ , but *ding dang they also most certainly need Science Adjacent with Evan and Katelyn!*
This relationship is such a breath of fresh air. Like, I know this is a diy channel but I love seeing these two interact with each other and just be themselves. It just seems so wholesome and pure.
Poor Evan was trying to be romantic and got shot down. " you don't like my idea...I can tell" 😂😂 guess we know who's the romantic one in the relationship
Cooling towels (that hold moisture) work really well for removing the antiglare layer because you don't have to constantly rewet them. Only takes a few hours. Yes, you removed the antiglare layer. If you removed the polarizer, you'd be staring at a white screen. But with polarizing lenses, you'd be able to see the images on the display.
They could take that off too and it would be a privacy/transparent monitor. See-through and only visible while wearing polarizing glasses. Also, Evan could 100% rock the handlebar mustache
I love Katelyn’s editing so much. The text popping up in random places and the various zooming in on their faces and stuff really makes the videos so enjoyable and fun to watch
lol. I guess if you just want to see two lovebirds goofing around, this is great stuff. As a tutorial though, this is awful. Worst garbage I've ever seen.
*"DO YOU LIKE TO LIVE?!"* I-I feel a little threatened right now. I'll just lock my doors before sleeping so no wood pieces come to get me in my sleep...

Hi guys, Yours are the first videos I have ever watched from beginning to end. The info is wonderful but the entertainment of watching you two interact with each other and your "project of the day" is fantastic. The joy is palpable. Keep on doing what you do because I want to keep watching.
"This is so thin and light " yea, this is probably the reason why trasparent screens are not on the market Rn. People would break it. This is sad, because I want this kind of screen too. y.y
@@rubyparker93 Yeah unfortunately that's a $7000 oled tv, also I noticed since it's an transparent oled the white values are opaque, but with the monitor, the black values are opaque. I wonder if they'll ever make a display that combines the two so you can choose what's transparent and what's not 🤔
It's not about it being fragile. It's about it emitting light. This is just an LCD panel with no backlight, which is cool AF, but not useful as a screen. The panel itself does not emit light, that's why LCD monitors have backlights. Hence why transparent screens are only possible with OLEDs, OLED panels actually emit light themselves. Pay attention to how the screen looked when they didn't have a softbox behind it. It's fully dependent on your shining light through it.
@@martssss but it's 4K!!! One semi applicable use is to replace all the windows with this. On a sunny day, outside can't even see the image while inside can. Then at night, just make the whole thing black for privacy.
This might be more applicable to smart mirrors. You’d still keep the LED part, but as far as deconstructing the monitor, I think that would keep the thickness of the smart mirror minimal. You really don’t need that much of the monitor to make it functional.
Nostalgia vibes. I remember people doing this maybe mid to late 2000's (I don't remember exactly when, around the time LCD monitors were starting to be a big thing and replacing CRT monitors) as part of PC case mods, adding the "clear monitor" to the case window so you could display whatever on it.
*3 minutes into the video and I am already loving it* Evan sniffs his armpit *Katelyn makes an anime noise while fighting the resistance of the famous wood block* Evan struggles I love this channel. keep it up!
2 nerds in a relationship. kinda wholesome tho. I genuinely wasn’t expecting this video to feature people like this, but it ended up being better than expected. Continue you two, keep up the content.
I just have to let you know that I’ve been going through an incredibly rough time lately (finally leaving an abusive ex, trying to rebuild burnt bridges, catching up on schoolwork and trying to find a job, etc.) and your videos make it all so much easier and calm my mind and heart when I’m struggling. Thank you so much for all you do, you are very much appreciate and loved (and goofy!)
Evan and Katelyn are relationship goals fr, the wacky stuff they do, the chemistry, and the fact you guys can talk about sweaty pits and mustaches and laugh about it, my god you guys are such a great couple ❤❤❤❤
My 13y/o son loves E&K and introduced me to their videos. We now watch them together. I love that they model a fun and positive relationship and attitudes.
Step 1: Get a small notebook. Step 2: Get a pen. Step 3: Go take a shower Step 4: Write down the ideas you got while showering. Step 5: Do research. Step 6: Build
This video just shows how fascinating it can be to take things apart, especially for people to use disassembled things to create their own inventions or modify them. Would be cool to see them do more projects like that in the future, whether it's modifying technology , refurbishing furniture or completely repurposing parts and materials to design something of their own.
I know we love on your gaming editors too, but... EVERY SECOND of this video was BEST EDITING. I can't get through the first 3 and a half minutes without adoring at Katelyn's editing. I LOVVVVE every Second 💙
So, I really love this idea, but my brain immediately came up with a concept to make this I guess usable in more practical settings? I was thinking a form of thin white LED stripping around the outside of the screen in the frame (maybe with some reflective tape to help the light). You could add a dimmer so you can turn up and down the brightness similar to what you were doing with the back lighting while testing. I love the stuff you do and I can wait for your next video!
so the most common use of this actually started in the PC world and was nicknamed snowblind. you line the edge with really bright LEDs directed into your case and then the light bounces back through the screen. you can then use wallpaper engine to display cool images over your awesome PC build. you can go to Instructables and search snowblind to find a build demo
I took apart my first tv when I was 3 years old. Then did it again when I was ... um... much older. This was fun! I hope you guys had as much fun as I did!
That's what the whole assembly together does 😇 te keep it transparent with a light source from the bottom is very hard to achieve :( you would have to work with mirrors or something to create an illusion.
@@jouwklappik Not necessarily. It would basically be the other way of lighting an lcd. Edge lighting. It was common in the late 90s and early 2000s as a cost cutting measure. In fact it's how they lit the screen on the original Gameboy Advance SP. It doesn't produce as good of a result (hence why it was phased out in favor of back lighting) but it would work if you put led strips around the edges.
I Just wanted to say thank you guys! I’ve been trying to figure out a new way to put a screen on my glass panel of my pc. And you guys have just layer the foundation for many amazing pc builds to come 🎉
I don't know how I stumbled onto your channel, but boy oh boy am I happy I did!! Love your content and subscribed after the first video I saw. Looking forward to binge watching your videos!! You two are amazing!!!
The issue i have is the screen still requires a strong portable backlight. Somehow the Gameboy color - with it's reflective film perfectly illuminates with just ambient light. A transparent screen that uses only ambient light with some high level of visibility would be amazing. Essentially they swapped out one light for another and put it in a wood box for a stand.
@@alinabehrendt3359 if you look closely, they are using an artificial light reflector to make the screen PoP, i applaud them for the endeavor of this project, i purposely watched the whole video to understand because i have a 30" touch screen and 2 x 19" plasma/lcd monitors and was thinking of trying something like this, but if i/ you need to have a bright reflector behind it, it defeats the whole purpose. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS YOU TRY INSTALLING A LED/FIBER OPTIC TYPE LIGHTING SETUP THAT SHINES THROUGH FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE LCD screen sitting the wooden frame! Would love to know if you guys try this out! Im sure a bunch of subscribers would like to see white light projected through the bottom edge of LCD!! Sincerely Michael J
Having a laptop in sunlight requires a stronger backlight to see anything, but without the factory backlight you could just use the sunny background. So the sun in this case is in your advantage, not the other way around
My first impression: 'Are they making a screen similar to what Tony Stark used in the movies? Later: X'D I love the drawing on his face! I think there could be a lot of uses in that department. I don't know if I love the curly mustache, though, or if it just makes him look like a cartoon villain. ^_^' I wonder, would it be possible to do this, but with a computer touchscreen monitor? Like, able to touch the see-through screen?
i probably never would have even noticed or thought about those pumpkins but then i see blurred out parts of film and i become the worlds greatest detective lmao.
Has anyone else thought about doing this, but gluing the see through screen to their window?..... letting the sunlight backlight it, and still be able to see outside?!?!!
@@98Emile I'm just thinking how you can combine working from home & daydreaming out the window at the same time. Kill 2 birds... Nite time is for other things!
Its because there is no Led, that's why they are standing behind a light source, or a white bg, if you could only use a computer in front of the perfect environment bg you probably wouldnt buy it lmao, but it's a cool project
Evan and Katelyn screen need an outside back light and they didn't solve anything. Apple and Samsung working on how to make the light from under the screen
"You remembered all of them" *Claps happily/proudly* Adds another channel since filming Renders Evans accomplishment moot *Claps happily/proudly* You're still a wonderful person
Wow that is actually so amaizng man! I've been experimenting with capacitive touch foil... You can totally make this touch screen while still keeping it transparent... That would be amazing and futuristic as hell

The anime gasps murdered me and put my body in an alley dumpster.

0:25 his body aligns so well with the curtains on the screen.
Yes
well seen Sir
Nostalgia vibes. I remember people doing this maybe mid to late 2000's (I don't remember exactly when, around the time LCD monitors were starting to be a big thing and replacing CRT monitors) as part of PC case mods, adding the "clear monitor" to the case window so you could display whatever on it.

Lol, yeah i can imagine she watch her favorite actor then her boyfriend face ruin it from the back.

I love this channel. keep it up!
Haha thank you!
2 nerds in a relationship. kinda wholesome tho. I genuinely wasn’t expecting this video to feature people like this, but it ended up being better than expected. Continue you two, keep up the content.
True bro,true.
Katelyns reflection on evans right shoulder at 16:59 is cursed
I just have to let you know that I’ve been going through an incredibly rough time lately (finally leaving an abusive ex, trying to rebuild burnt bridges, catching up on schoolwork and trying to find a job, etc.) and your videos make it all so much easier and calm my mind and heart when I’m struggling. Thank you so much for all you do, you are very much appreciate and loved (and goofy!)
aw thank you, I hope things start getting better soon! 💕💕💕
Evan and Katelyn are relationship goals fr, the wacky stuff they do, the chemistry, and the fact you guys can talk about sweaty pits and mustaches and laugh about it, my god you guys are such a great couple ❤❤❤❤
sweatiness is a key part of DIY projects 😋
@@EvanAndKatelyn and humble. these two are soo damn humble
My 13y/o son loves E&K and introduced me to their videos. We now watch them together. I love that they model a fun and positive relationship and attitudes.
How do yall come with these ideas, it's so amazing!!
Step 1: Get a small notebook.
Step 2: Get a pen.
Step 3: Go take a shower
Step 4: Write down the ideas you got while showering.
Step 5: Do research.
Step 6: Build
Or just watch Linus tech tips lol
This has been around for ages.
They are not the first to do this. Been around for at least a couple of years.
@@saltymurloc2255 ikr lmao
This video just shows how fascinating it can be to take things apart, especially for people to use disassembled things to create their own inventions or modify them.
Would be cool to see them do more projects like that in the future, whether it's modifying technology , refurbishing furniture or completely repurposing parts and materials to design something of their own.
They just took out the LEDs and polarized film
@@antoniomeraz520 know they didnt remove the polarizing film, because the light will be unpolarized and they will see a white screen
I know we love on your gaming editors too, but... EVERY SECOND of this video was BEST EDITING.
I can't get through the first 3 and a half minutes without adoring at Katelyn's editing.
I LOVVVVE every Second 💙
aw thank you! I have so much fun with the editing
Katelyn: What would be cooler than a screen
Evan: I don't-
katelyn: A CLEAR SCREEN

Couldn't mount a led light on angle at the bottom flush in the frame? That would project enough light to make it work correctly?

When Evan said "arts and crafts project" it sounded like "arson crash project" XD
Omg it did tho
*insert Chaos Evan emote here*
Close enough
sounds like my favorite 2006 punk band
Thanks
"Ooohh. What will this look like without the LED?"
*laughs in original gameboy color*
The fact that this wasn’t even click bait in any way shape or form, and I still clicked fast as hell. I love a good Kevan and Atelyn diy 🥺💜
So, I really love this idea, but my brain immediately came up with a concept to make this I guess usable in more practical settings?
I was thinking a form of thin white LED stripping around the outside of the screen in the frame (maybe with some reflective tape to help the light). You could add a dimmer so you can turn up and down the brightness similar to what you were doing with the back lighting while testing.
I love the stuff you do and I can wait for your next video!
Yes I think that would work
If you engenere the liquid cristals to disperse light it works at the cost of a crisp Image
I was thinking about that so you don’t have to put a massive light at the back
so the most common use of this actually started in the PC world and was nicknamed snowblind. you line the edge with really bright LEDs directed into your case and then the light bounces back through the screen. you can then use wallpaper engine to display cool images over your awesome PC build. you can go to Instructables and search snowblind to find a build demo
I was thinking you could program the crystals, but I'm a nerd.
Ok that editing at 3:01 of Katelyn’s gasp was 🤌🏻perfect😂
Katelyn literally finishes Evan’s sentences and speaks on behalf of the cat lol

That's way better than any segway to a sponsor then any I have seen. And it's nice it's not another vpn ad. :)
Thats helpful
Plants: what is this habit called eating? I just photosynthesis

I don’t know why but Katelyn telling the monitor it was bedtime freaking killed me
I took apart my first tv when I was 3 years old. Then did it again when I was ... um... much older. This was fun! I hope you guys had as much fun as I did!
The audio is everything you never want to hear in an operation room.
I love how often they have to finish Evan’s sentences while editing
Unlike common crystals liquid crystals are not fragile - they are liquid.
It's the glass holding them that is fragile...
Can’t believe E&K didn’t even ALLUDE TO the cursed Cats Evan drawing!
You guys are so amazing love this

I laughed a little at it in the video, but for some reason seeing it typed out has me laughing helplessly. 🤣
I love the exasperated anime gasps edit xD 3:01
Evan and Katelyn: make a monitor clear
Monitor companies: NO! Thus is not how you play the game!
I was going to say make a monitor but it didnt seem right
Linus Tech Tips: buys a $7000 clear TV.
EvanAndKateltn: Just makes one...
Ah, a man of culture. Someone from the LTT video.
LCD Vs OLED though.
And Linus's TV had two defective pixels.
@@DeclanMBrennan and this one requires a massive light behind it to see anything.
@@WhaleTPK Yeah, did they not remove the polarizer, or is the polarizer hardcore glued on?
I'm wondering if it would've helped to put a LED-strip in with it so there's light included? Maybe an updated version? 😄
That was my exact thought!!!!
That's what the whole assembly together does 😇 te keep it transparent with a light source from the bottom is very hard to achieve :( you would have to work with mirrors or something to create an illusion.
@@jouwklappik Not necessarily. It would basically be the other way of lighting an lcd. Edge lighting. It was common in the late 90s and early 2000s as a cost cutting measure. In fact it's how they lit the screen on the original Gameboy Advance SP. It doesn't produce as good of a result (hence why it was phased out in favor of back lighting) but it would work if you put led strips around the edges.
@@chadmasta5 been there done that doesn't work. I made myself some lights from old LCD. Why have they developed oled.?
Calculators have this. Peel the sticker off at the back of the screen and it’ll be transparent
I Just wanted to say thank you guys!
I’ve been trying to figure out a new way to put a screen on my glass panel of my pc.
And you guys have just layer the foundation for many amazing pc builds to come 🎉
I don't know how I stumbled onto your channel, but boy oh boy am I happy I did!! Love your content and subscribed after the first video I saw. Looking forward to binge watching your videos!! You two are amazing!!!
The issue i have is the screen still requires a strong portable backlight. Somehow the Gameboy color - with it's reflective film perfectly illuminates with just ambient light. A transparent screen that uses only ambient light with some high level of visibility would be amazing. Essentially they swapped out one light for another and put it in a wood box for a stand.
In the end they showed it out side and it seemed fine, it’s not as bright but it’s still cool that it shows even without the light
I feel like a one way mirror with a transflective display like those found in watches would make for an interesting combination. You'd have
@@alinabehrendt3359 if you look closely, they are using an artificial light reflector to make the screen PoP, i applaud them for the endeavor of this project, i purposely watched the whole video to understand because i have a 30" touch screen and 2 x 19" plasma/lcd monitors and was thinking of trying something like this, but if i/ you need to have a bright reflector behind it, it defeats the whole purpose. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS YOU TRY INSTALLING A LED/FIBER OPTIC TYPE LIGHTING SETUP THAT SHINES THROUGH FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE LCD screen sitting the wooden frame!
Would love to know if you guys try this out! Im sure a bunch of subscribers would like to see white light projected through the bottom edge of LCD!!
Sincerely
Michael J
@@miketike2 I was thinking along those same lines. An edge-lit panel behind the main screen might work but it still not be bright enough.
Having a laptop in sunlight requires a stronger backlight to see anything, but without the factory backlight you could just use the sunny background. So the sun in this case is in your advantage, not the other way around
My first impression: 'Are they making a screen similar to what Tony Stark used in the movies?
Later: X'D I love the drawing on his face! I think there could be a lot of uses in that department. I don't know if I love the curly mustache, though, or if it just makes him look like a cartoon villain. ^_^'
I wonder, would it be possible to do this, but with a computer touchscreen monitor? Like, able to touch the see-through screen?
Probably? They did make some transparent phones
0:26 i love how evans clothes blend with the screen alrd😂
Legend says that the wood block is still out for revenge

Has anyone else thought about doing this, but gluing the see through screen to their window?..... letting the sunlight backlight it, and still be able to see outside?!?!!
what about night time then
What if it was the window

If you're worried I suggest watching the old video "How To Give A Computer A Bath" which just feels so wrong yet it all works after.
When Evan and Katelyn can make a clear screen but Apple is still working on it LOL
ye lol
Its because there is no Led, that's why they are standing behind a light source, or a white bg, if you could only use a computer in front of the perfect environment bg you probably wouldnt buy it lmao, but it's a cool project
Evan and Katelyn screen need an outside back light and they didn't solve anything. Apple and Samsung working on how to make the light from under the screen
