      they may decrease the angle, but is still visible especially by people behind the user (for banks and cashiers wouldnt be a problem but for example using a laptop in a airport would still be visible by people behind you). With this method, it would only be visible by people with polarized sunglasses.

    @JohnL90808 8 років тому +305

    Anyone interested how this works:
    The LCD has the following parts (in order from front to back): vertical polarizer, glass substrate electrode, liquid crystal, another glass substrate electrode, horizontal polarizer and the backlight (white fluorescent tubes or LEDs).
    This is how an LCD works: First, light coming from the tubes or LEDs are polarized horizontally by the horizontal polarizer, and then it passes through the glass substrate and then to the liquid crystals (which will do something magical as I will discuss later), passes to another glass substrate and then to a vertical polarizer. Now, since light has been horizontally polarized by the first polarizer from the back, there should be no light that will pass through the vertical polarizer. Now, remember the liquid crystal? The liquid crystals bend light from 0 to 90 degrees (black to full white, respectively) depending on the voltage applied from the glass substrates (which sandwiches the crystals), the substrate contains individual shapes that defines a pixel. If the crystal bends light to a 90 degrees, the subpixel (R, G or B) will be illuminated to the fullest, if the crystal doesn't bend the light (0 degrees) it will just be black. In other words, the angle determines the intensity of the light.
    Removing the vertical polarizer will allow any orientation of light to pass through at the front end, which is why you'll see white. With a properly oriented polarizer, you can again filter only the vertically-oriented light to pass through.

    • @JohnL90808
      @JohnL90808 8 років тому +2

      Adrian T It depends on what type of polarized filters you use, some are linear like the ones used in LCDs, and some are circular like your 3D glasses. The circular polarizers filters out light which are either polarized clockwise or anti-clockwise. So, yes linearly polarized light on circularly polarized filters will not work.

    I understand that this is not a free thing to do but for a channel with over 2M subscribers I think it is feasible to redo the video with a different monitor that actually worked in the end. Now this was just like "hey see, it worked! for a second.. but it worked!" - kind of embarrassing..
    I mean it doesn't have to be a 4K 30" Monitor or something, but a stupid old monitor from craigslist (like Luke mentioned) would have been only a few dollars probably.

    • @bigoljoe1829
      @bigoljoe1829 9 років тому +11

      +pcfreak1992 Its funny how people assume you tubers are rolling in the dough, and have money to just burn. Its also funny how people make judgments on a video with made up criteria. "Would have been only a few dollars probably" "probably" meaning you don't know. So stow it. Luke already said they got that monitor from craigslist and it was $30. That is no guarantee they'd be able to find another one in that price range, and no guarantee it would even work. There is absolutely NO REASON for them to literally throw money away on yet another monitor they're just going to trash anyway. Thats stupid as fuck. LinusMediaGroup has several employees they need to pay, and they can't do that if they're throwing money away on stupid shit for no real good reason.

    • @MrQurutin
      @MrQurutin 9 років тому +4

      +pcfreak1992 It's not about the price of the monitor but the price of the time of an employee. Luke has to be paid, so does whoever happens to be filming and editing. In the time it would take to redo everything they can probably do another video about entirely different subject and thats what matters from the business point of view.

    As a senior Service Tech in a computer shop, I'll give my advice:

    2. It's never a good idea to twist your prying tool. That will ALWAYS lead to marred plastic

    • @GeorgeFarren
      @GeorgeFarren 9 років тому +4

      +Allen Clark Why do people always jump to heat guns? Just use a hair dryer! They're like literally 10 times less hot and do the same job over a longer (safer) period.

    • @juanpbotha

      +Allen Clark When fixing mobile phone's digitizer, I just use a hairdryer. I think that would also help.

    • @Cody_Istre
      @Cody_Istre 9 років тому +2

      +George Farren Quality heatguns typically have better temperature control (cheap handhelds usually do not) and support attachments to help direct the heat more evenly (I like using wide tips for displays). The other advantage is they are typically capable of melting lead-free solder for reflowing ball grid arrays.
      While I agree that for most people a hairdryer is fine, if you regularly do electronic repairs a good heatgun and soldering iron are invaluable tools.

    on some older monitors from around 2005 come apart and separate into layers with no glue
    recommended on one of those old monitors so there is no risk of slicing the LCD or LED panel

    you shorted the inverter when you used the goo gone and didn't dry off the rest that might have touched the circuit board before plugging the monitor back in.
