Hi guys, the first back step in my pj. yesterday i watched 2 movies with great pic quality. today i wanted to remove the AG. But wow what a turn, i lost my first LCD monitor. it cracked in the corner and its GOOOOOOONE. will get another one 2moro. But please some one post the easiest lcd monitor to strip AG. i dont want to loose the second one.thanks,tanji

Hi guys with more caution

Never do your AG removal in a soft place(like bed, sofa) the lcd bends and cracks.
never push or pull hard.


Could some one tell me when i do the AG remove , do i do both side?or one side(front). i think i will go for the same monitor LG 1750sq. but if u know any that is very easy pls let us know.thanks,tanji

ouch severe lesson learned,,,

only do the side with a/g leave other side...

and do it on a single layer towel on a bench too,, and dont rush it...

just buy a monitor without an antiglare like I did, then you dont have to worry about it.

Conker and I had zero trouble with a 3 hour wet towel process on an Eizo 15" (plog for specifics). I agree, also, ... a light towel on a flat surface works well for the procedure ... not something squishy. Though the bed was a good choice I thought for doing the frame and plastic and fastener removal on the original strip.

Put several paper towels on it , let it soak really good and keep it wet. Make sue the entire lcd AG is covered with the towels. Put saran wrap over the paper towels to keep moisture in.
Once it comes up to pull , pull it in one pull (nonstop) that way you'll have no glue residue to contend with when you stop. It leaves a little whenever you start pulling again.
Like foamcows said, look for one without the AG on it.

Check this video for reference. This is how it's SUPPOSED to work.

Just did the stripping of the AG on the broken lcd . amd to my wonder,the whole of the freak AG went off without any resistence.. I am so mad now. Good news is 1 got the exact same monitor for less the last price. only 230 AUD$. so i will get it and will try again tomorrow night.

Now guys please please let me know if i need to strip both sides or only one side. if one which side back or front?

I sware i will try 2 more time. it it crack tomorrow , i will do one more time then will put the whole project thing in my garage. i am so mad now.

Will be waiting for your reply though.thanks,tanji

Refer to post #3

Thanks All, Elken as from your reply, i did the ag removal of the broken one but from your saying, i have AG on both side? When they both came off both looked the same. what should i do man, please help,

I pretty sure the AG is only on the viewing side that you look at. The other may be a polarizer film and if that's what it is then you should leave it. I am not sure how to tell if it's a polarizer or not. Someone else may help in that department.

If they're already off, then you can tell by the color.

Polarizers will look tinted and AG will be clear but cloudy.

Yeah, my Hyundai L72s is dead. It was eaten alive by the stripper I used; the polarizer came up in a spot and the connector ribbon was eaten by solvent. Don't give up though. I think nearly everyone on this site has had a close encounter.

Ouch, well looks like I'll have to keep that in mind if I decide to do it..

New Update to my project. i juat have bought a new LCD my second one LG 1750 again. will strip the LCD out. but wont do the anti glare now. will watch a few movies now then will do it later.

Guys i did stripped the broken one last night. for some wired reason i could get anti glare out from both side. they r same and its not polarizer for sure. cause i checked that too.


So someone with the information of lg monitor AG removal please come forward and open the door for us thanks.

Water soak for a few hour 6 to be exact. came off just like a paper. well some thing to worry about later. thanks all for your attention. tanji

New update again just have finished stripping lcd from the enclosure. looks preety cool. same as the last one. will not remove ag this time till i am sure it it got AG in both side or not. or if it is ok to strip the back side only.

Anyone with information please help to confirm. thanks. got to go to work tomorrow, so nothing till tomorrow night.thanks,tanji
