Hey, a quick correction. At 3:09, you say "how," but the subtitles say "who."

toasterburger Says:
can you cut it into shapes?
lomateron Says:
can you now explain how OLED works, specially how the transparency is made?

Hey I noticed something changed between 1:27-1:28.... what did you do between editing? Awesome video - I love how you teach.
FICrafter Says:
You should have covered TF vs IPS. Oh well, it still blew my mind.

at 2:32 it states " light ravels at different speeds along different axes", but isn't the speed of light a constant???
engineerguyvideo Says:
Thx. Appreciate this correction ....

I'm sorry "tylne diody". 0:26
engineerguyvideo Says:
I cannot find the "tylne światła" in the captions ... where exactly is this? Time code?
ra1di Says:
Backlight is a "podświetlenie" in polish, not "tylne światła" :D

Ubuntu! That's an expert choice. :) Oh, and thank you for your videos, always interesting!

If you look up "Privacy monitor hacked from an old LCD Monitor" on Google you will find a tutorial of someone cutting out the front polarizer film in order to reuse it on a pair of glasses instead (so the monitor can be viewed only through the glass) It involves using a metal cutter to allow ripping, and some solvent to remove the remaining glue on the glass. The tutorial "pretends" if the metal cutter is clean, it won't damage the glass. I wouldn't trust this tutorial to work on all models.
engineerguyvideo Says:
I don't think so: They are pretty tightly stuck together.
Brohan43 Says:
I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time. If you have the LCD screen to just the two polarized sheets with the glass in between, is there a way to remove the two very stuck polarized sheets without damaging the glass in between?

I've always wondered why iPod's LCD Screens can be showed when the backligt is turned off So, Please. Can you do a video explaing it? (I'm from Venezuela so my english is not very good, please try to understand me) Thanks
