Please be advised since this modification of LCD enhancement has gained popularity from it's first discovery by Mark and Elken2004 it is a process that should be highly undertaken at your own risk. There have been growing occasions, including myself, of actual 'graining' occurring to the polarizer film upon removing the protective Antiglare (AG) layer and/or the TAC layer on either side of the panel that may lead to total replacement thereof, a process not easily replicated and normally done originally by LCD manufactures. Extreme care should always be undertaken to hopefully prevent 'graining' after removing the protective AG or TAC by maintaining efficient cooling to the LCD at all times while the projector is in use. Cleaning the polarization film with anything but a slightly damp cloth or pressurized air and while the LCD panel is on off and cool.
AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT 'GRAINING' IS - imagine a baloney and cheese sandwich
. Remove the first slice of bread and it's innards (baloney or cheese) will have the potential to fall off after loosing it's mustard or mayonnaise hold or in this case 'pop' up appearing like 'graining' of the polar layer. The only strength left that the polar layer has is it's adhered hold to the last TAC under it (the other slice of bread ) that's also adhered to the LCD panel itself. So, be warned that the AG and/or TAC is a supportive layer that strengthens the polar's overall bond and concise structure.Should you decide undertaking this mod, try not to over soak while using the 'Water Rag Method'. There is a possibility of over-saturating all layers of adhesives in between each layer down to the glass LCD substrate, so be meticulous.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS AS A DISCUSSION BOARD.
This thread is a branch off from the original thread "LL projector lumens theory" in furtherance to research various methods in the removal of the antiglare layer on LCD panels. Please do not use this thread as a discussion board. Proceed to the original thread on 'LL projector lumens theory' for full discussion and/or assistance. Please provide only information pertaining to your LCD panel and the method used in order to remove the anitglare either 'polishing, ripping & replacing, stripper and/or water soaking' (more methods will be mentioned as they come) in the following manner:
1) LCD brand name & Size
2) Specifications (brief)
3) Method of antiglare removal to include sanding if done &/or type of polisher
4) Type of polarized film used, name, model, part number (if total replacment was done)
5) Date of removal, replacement
6) Date of any ill findings after removal, replacement (while Editing)
Pictures are worth a thousand words when it comes to researching, so please provide but keep your sizes to a minimum and few and specifically on the process of removal with some showing your projection results (if you want to show it off
)MORE IMPORTANTLY (#6), should you discover any ill effects to the polarized film after the method performed and while use of your projector then please 'EDIT' your post/s with dates of when and what was discovered. This information will or may be helpful in development of better alternatives in antiglare removal.
We, who are experimenting with this new found discovery appreciate your assistance and cooperation. Thank you.
