5. 8.11.2006

That was easy! I just kept wet rags on screen about 3 hours and then I tried to lift up one corner with rasor blade. It came up and then I just pulled the whole AG sheet of. No clue residues, no cracks. My PJ is still under conctruction so can't say yet how does work. But anyway, I was really suprised how easy it was to take of.

Greetings, Joona
Finland

New here this is my first post, been lurking for a bit and slowly starting my project in the background. End gole will be an RPTV setup for my projector.

Anyway, took off the antiglare tonight. Had my nerves shot to hell doing it, but I got though.

1) LCD is a Samsung Syncmaster 940MW 19"
2) 1440 x 900 max resolution, widescreen, almost any input you could ever want.
3) Water soak with 1/3 acetone, 2/3 warm water. Soaked for about three hours. Had a hard time getting under the film nicely, but finally got a corner up and it came right off with very gentle peeling.
4)No Replacement
5)11/8/06 AG removal
6) a small nick on the very corner of the polarizer, and some finger prints that snuck on there.

1) Dell 153EP
2) 15", 1024x768, 400:1
3) water soak for about 1.5 hours on both sides. Each side came up easily. I would change to 2-3 hours next time to make it even easier to remove. Be slow and cautious when pulling AG off. The adhesive on the polarizers after AG removal was taken off by soaking with a 50/50 water/Iso ALcohol mix for 15 min each side. This was soaked, wiped and then repeated for a total of 2 applications per side to remove ALL of the adhesive.
4) no replacement
5) 11/12/2006
6) none

1) LCD brand name & Size - NEC LCD1525M
2) Specifications (brief) - 15 inch, 1024x768, used in a projector for 1.5 years before a/g removal
3) Method of antiglare removal to include sanding if done &/or type of polisher

Started with rag method soak for 48 hours. One third acetone to two thirds distilled water. Antiglare wouldn't budge with this method (should stopped there, but now it was personal).

Sanded with 220 grit, but not thoroughly and used Klean Strip Strip-X. Checked every 12 hours, testing and re-applying stripper paste. Only after 2 days was I able to scrape up a square inch in the middle, then get some of the a/g removed. Finished up the next day - 72 hours from start of chemical stripper phase.

4) Type of polarized film used, name, model, part number (if total replacment was done)
Kept installed polarizer, but damaged the edges.

5) Date of removal, replacement
A/G removal 10/11-10/15

6) Date of any ill findings after removal, replacement (while Editing)

I would call this a failure - I damaged the LCD connectors (two large black strips on the screen when running). I also should have stopped when water strip did not work. Maybe having this in a projector 'baked the antiglare on', but it was a pain to remove and in the end, not worth it.

1) LCD brand name & Size HP 1530
2) Specifications 1024x768 15 inch
3) Method of antiglare removal Rag soak for 2hours, the 3 then 10
4) Type of polarized film used, name(will need to do this Help!)
5) Date of removal, replacement 12/9/2006
6) Date of any ill findings after removal, first attempt and antiglare came up in pieces, very tough to get up, 2nd a bit better, but not all was coming up, found adding light for heat made matters worse, final after 10 hours came up, but created bubbles in polarizer, tried to push down, but now there's a tear in middle of screen, overall results were failure, unless I pull off the polar and replace, in which i'm not interested in spending a lot of money on, so I recommend not do this mod without at least 10 hour soak, and heat is not a good idea either, as I found heat was the culprit for antiglare sticking in middle of lcd, had I have waited 12 hours, and no heat, it would have been successful, luckily I have another lcd, but still to wreck another is a waste of money. If anyone has any cheap, good replacement polarizer sources please let me know, and i'll try taking mine off and replacing as I really am not eager to tear down another lcd.
Thanks

Here’s my unpleasant experiences based on the rather fabulous:
Relisys RLT1520 15in LCD TV/computer monitor
Includes video module (optional) with inputs for composite, s-video, component video, VGA and TV tuner. Inbuilt speakers, not used in this project, and to top it all, a remote control! Native resolution 1024*768.

Soaked with water (rag method) for over 10 hours:
Click to view attachment
then lifted corner with scalpel. Pulled AG, but it was clearly not ready.
Click to view attachment
Soaked overnight (another 10 hours) but AG would still not budge. Soaked in 1/3 acetone solution for another 12 hours, which appeared to soften the PVA slightly. I (foolishly) convinced myself it was ready, so tried a couple of areas, but the AG ripped leaving bad scratches on the polarizer.

So……

Bought some paintstripper.
Sanded the panel lightly all over (apart from the areas where I had already ripped off the AG)
Click to view attachment
Covered with a thick layer for 30 minutes (note aluminium strip protecting FFCs)
Click to view attachment
Wiped off with damp rubber blade.

A second application, and job done!

After the stripper, a quick wipe with meths (denatured alcohol - same thing) cleared up any marks left on the panel, leaving a rather lovely shiny surface (apart from the bits I'd messed up previously)
Click to view attachment

Sadly the polarizer badly damaged in a few small areas (a couple of the corners) as a result of trying to lift AG when glue had not been softened by water soak. A few lines visible in projected image, though not as bad it I was expecting from looking at the panel surface. Here's the offending corner, though two of these three failings are easily fixed.

My recommendations for this panel – DON’T BOTHER WITH THE WATER SOAK, reach for the paintstripper! The panel seems well built, and provided you take a little care, the process is not nearly as scary as it sounds.

To sum up, based on my experience,
IT IS NOT A SURE THING THAT A WATER OR EVEN ACETONE SOLUTION SOAK WILL WORK FOR ALL PANEL TYPES

I left panel soaking for 3 hours, tried to peel ag off after 2 hours, but was able to clear one corner only .



After 3 hour ag came off in less than 5 minutes, just firm straight even pull. Ag ripped a little, but it didn't leave any marks on the surface.



Here's the antiglare in front of my tv set to show, how dim it makes the image.

AG peels off with no problem- what's the best cleaner to remove spot on lcd?

Victor

AG removal.

Equipment
Paper towel – (bounty)
Knife blade
Optical assistant (magnifying glass)
Tap water
Syringe 20ml
LCD benq 556 V2

Just wanted to let folks know about another successful AG peel.

I placed dry paper towel on the lcd making sure the edges covered the AG but did not hang off the edge of the LCD. I then applied three syringes full of water to the center of the towels gradually soaking as fast as the towel would absorb. I let it sit for 2.5 hrs checking occasionally for drips or puddles. I opted out of the acetone because I was not sure of the effects on the polarizer layer. I have a 5 gallon pail sitting downstairs so availability was not an issue. I also went with tap water because I could see no big advantage to distilled water. I was not going to let the water evaporate and I was using lots of it (about 75ml total) so its not likely I would get any mineral deposits.

Using a knife blade and magnifying glass I was able to start a corner of the AG sheet. The first corner started to tear a bit so I started on another corner and it came cleanly away. The AG is relatively thick and did not come away easily but came away slowly and cleanly. Perhaps another hour soak might have helped. I pulled the film back as flat to the LCD as possible. I had a few patches of adhesive in the beginning but I kept lifting any smudges with more water and some soft rubbing (clean paper towel) to dissolve.

The peel was not quick or easy but a bit of a fight that lasted about half an hour. I applied slow steady pressure and the film Sloooowwlly came up. I moved from one corner until I had the full width and then ran parallel across until I finished the far side leaving at the opposite diagonal. This required a good strong, steady pull so I had to be careful to balance the load at the thin glass panel and not push or strain any of the FCC connections.

I found that by keeping a “wet edge” at the peel interface I was able to keep adhesive residue to a minimum. It seemed to make no difference where I stopped or started as long as I kept the wet edge. I found the syringe very useful tool in controlling the location and amount of water added and the water tends to bead and cling to the interface.

I fired up the panel afterwards and all looks well. Everything seems to work and I have no visible lines. I dropped the AG across a light meter and it seems to have about a 92% transmission. It would seem to be worth the effort because of a slight increase in brightness and a probable increase in detail that others have already noted.

Planar 15" with ffc mod- fixed using LL 20 pin 6" extension (8" would have been better, but it works)

tap+paper towel method soaked overnight. Used a blade edge to start the corner peeli process- had removal was a snap- no hesitancy whatsoever.

AG pulled out like a champ so now I have stripped two panels in one night successfully!!

EDIT: On March 3rd 2007, I decided to try removing that I thought was AG on the opposite side of my LCD, soaked in same water/acetone mixture as above let sit for 3 hours. Pulled up effortlessly. Worked great, picture is even more amazing. I even had to turn down the contrast in Powerstrip 10% after this. Very bright now.

BenQ 557sV2
Success!

I used the rag soak method. This lcd has been in my projector for almost 2 years now so I was a little worried the ag might be really tough to get off.

I am very impatient I let the panel soak for maybe 2 hours. I sprayed the paper towels every 20-30 minutes to keep them wet. After a while I got curious and started picking at the edge of the lcd with my fingernail and it started to come up. I peeled a small piece up just enough to look through to make sure I was only pulling up the ag. I pulled up all round the edges and worked my way to the middle. I should have waited longer, it certainly didnt come off easily, but it did come off and in 1 big sheet. No harm to the polar or electronics. There was a little bit of glue, came off pretty easily with warm watter.

The results? The overall brightness doesnt seem much brighter to me, but dark scenes are definately brighter. I used to have to turn up the gamma or brightness in some dark movies, not so much anymore. The whites do seem whiter also. Contrast seems a little better also. Altho it does look slightly better, not sure the risk is worth it, atleast not in my case. I will add that I thought mine looked pretty good from the start tho. Maybe I was expecting too much? who knows.

Note: I tried 24H water soak and a 14hour water soak with accetone but the AG was just too brittle. I personally feel that the paint stripper method is much more easier as you have more controll when removing it, there is a bigger risk in pulling of the AG and damaging the polar with the rag method on these panel$. Just my thoughts


Sanded




Paint stripper applied

continued from post #120

Reflective layer was easy but it left a layer of glue



used 50% water 50% accetone to remove glue with a cotton wool bud



held my breath, switched on and .......YES!! No damage at all

I just removed AG today(March 06, 2007), I couldnt wait to do it!

Edit:
Forgot to say, the LCD is an HP vs15,
~500:1 CR, 1024x768 res, 8ms, VGA input

I used the rag soak method, just plain old tap water.
I cut paper towels to exactly the same size as the AG layer, and then wet them thoroughly, and pressed all of the bubbles out. Then came back to LumenLab, and read that it should not overlap the edges of the AG layer. So, I folded the edges back.

I also put a damp towel over the whole thing to keep it from drying out overnight.

Corner 1
Corner 2
Corner 3
Corner 4

I added water once, about 6 hours into the soak.

After soaking for about 10 hours, I decided to begin peeling. I started from a pointy corner so the knife could get between the AG and polarizer more easily. The corner (and edges) were relatively harder to peel, and glue residue was left along much of one side of the panel, but not affecting the area where pixels are, so I'm not worrying.
I concluded that water must be present during the soak right up to the very edge of the AG, otherwise making it hard to pull up in one piece. I ended up using the x-acto knife to peel all around the edge first, leaving it attached though, like a flap. Then finished by pulling the rest off by hand.

Beginning the peel

And the AG'less panel!
Another angle

I used alot of water the first time wetting the panel, 2-3 cups, mostly soaked up by the towel. I would recommend also applying more water shortly before actually doing the removal, just to resaturate the paper towels, and make sure the glue is all softened enough during the removal. I let the panel dry for about 2 hours with a fan blowing across to help, then put it all together and am using it right now, and must say that I think more panels should be made like this in the first place!

The benefits as I see it are,
-whites slightly brighter, more white instead of yellowish.
-much sharper, especially areas with dramatic color change.
-here are some images where I tried to illustrate the difference. As always, the camera lessens the actual effect that I see, but they are still really cool pictures anyway.
No AG
AG over half the screen
AG over most of the screen

(Hope this is long enough....sorry!)

Good luck to all who try this!

EDIT: Mar 10 2007 - be careful not to oversoak-apparently I did. This means not soaking for too long, although 10 hours may be a little long, but what I mean is adding too much water. I used alot more than I probably should have . The effect is apparently called 'graining'(thanks SIMUL8R). The polarizers didnt show any sign of this until days after the AG was removed.

I did my Dell E152FPc last night, in 2 hours total.

I laid it on a towel, and laid an absorbent hospital rag on the panel, soaked with tap water, and poured more on it to ensure it was soaked, then plastic wrap on top of that to minimize evaporation. 30-45 minutes later I resoaked it and again 30-45 minutes later.

2 hours in, I figured I'd give it a test just to see. The ag actually extended past the polarizer so it was easy to lift with a razor blade and to my amazement it started coming off just fine, so 2 minutes later the entire antiglare was off, in one piece, with no glue residue left.

I'll fire it up tonight just to verify things still work but I'm sure it does.

I hope this is the right place to post. There is a good article on anti-glare and the xbrite technology:

Hi there!

I was browsing the internet to find a solution to remove the antiglare from my monitors.
I found this forum and noticed that everybody has the same problem as I do, the difference is that I have dual CRT monitors - Philips 109P20 Brilliance - quite old but still excellent monitors.
I don't know if you can help me, but I decided to make an attempt.

I have always cleaned my monitor with a dump cloth because this is what is recommended by Philips.
After two years I started to see clearer spots on the screen which, at the time, I could not figure out what it was.
Today, my monitors are 6 years and the antiglare treatment is partially off the screen but not completely, therefore I need to remove it all.
I tried to remove it with glass cleaner, something equivalent to Windex, and I managed to get rid of most of it, but not all.
There are many theories on how to finish the work, many people say that I should use ammonia and in order to clean out scratches, an abrasive paste, same style of the one used to remove scratches from the body of the car.
Actually, I'm a bit scary to ruin everything, particularly after having discovered that the monitor is much better without antiglare than with it.

I wonder if any of you incurred in the same problem (with CRT) and how you solved it.

Thank you
Alex

has any one tried the rag method on the X2Gen MW15A or any other method that worked

(edit) never mind just saw it's a/g free

all so the acer AL1516AB will not strip with the rag method

socked for 12 hours with warm distiled water added water as needed to keep paper towel soaked.

got one corner up with some hard work and steady hand but from there it just went down hill the AG was stiff and cracked as pulled up have read in other places of this happening must be a stronger glue it seams the water is not going throw the AG

I just removed the antiglare on my IBM ThinkVision L150P. This monitor is looking very promising for projecting - easy strip, easy AG removal, FFC issues were easily resolved with some parts from mouser.

I was skeptical about getting it, because I hadnt seen anything mentioned about it, but it paid off. 15", 500:1 contrast. I got mine fully working (backlight and everything) for $50 on ebay.

Anyway, I used the rag soak method. Just some paper towels + distilled water, covered with a plastic bag. After 20 mins (yes, I am impatient) I could peel up the corner of the AG, although it was stubborn. So I ate dinner, and about 40-50 minutes later, it peeled up easily, all one piece. There was no residue left, although I wiped down both sides with distilled water anyway. Panel resembles a lightly tinted pair of sunglasses now.

My digital camera isn't working, so I couldn't take pictures.

I have a Dell UltraSharp 1707fp
It is new so the AG wasn't baked on like some of 'em.
I used the water method.

I placed paper towels on top of the AG and soaked it with D.I. water and placed some plastic wrap on top.

After 2 hours I took a razor and using a magnifying glass (very important in my opinion!) peeled the edge of the AG. (if you use a magnifying glass it is easy to see the layers).
It pulled off in one piece without leaving a residue, in fact it was almost like a think plastic that was stuck on with water!
I feel it is important to wet the towels to the edge otherwise you will have a sticking AG on the edges and that seems to be when most people damage the LCD.
I have been in the semiconductor industry for about 20 years and know for a fact that d.i. water won't hurt these panels. I soaked it to and over the edge and simply let it dry before testing it.
d.i. water won't hurt the PC boards either. Just make sure it's completly dry before power-up.

removal was easy part:(

benq fp71GX - ag removed with water. I have stains and cracks on polarizer after removal of AG. Now I'm waiting for 3dlens polarizer.

please have a look and give me advices here:

solved: I removed polar and placed one from 3dlens with adhesive removed (with DUCT TAPE) between front fresnel and mirror, thanks Redherrink

7" LCD screen from a Denca portable dvd player.

Method:

Really wet cloth placed on top + time. Peeled off.

Just done AG removal - on a dell 15" tft -

Cut loo roll to fit on the the screen slightly overlapping the edges - 2 layers

applied tap water generously - left for an hour - then reaplied after an hour . left for a further hour and it came off with absolutely no resistance.

3 hour tap water soak - no probs at all!!

1) Samsung 151V, 15"
2) Typical for a 2000 model LCD
3) Soaked AG layer on front of panel for ~4 hours using the paper towel/water/plastic wrap method. Couldn't have asked for it to be any easier. Peeled AG layer up with edge of x-acto blade, one smooth pull and the entire sheet came up in one piece.
4) N/A
5) Date of removal 11/6/2007
6) Only done as a test since the lcd panel was already dead. No results other than it looks physically ok. Will pull a functioning panel of the same model and perform the same AG removal then test and give results soon!

Outstanding tidbit, Dr. Lazy...thanks for including it! I was seesawing back and forth as to whether or not to do this mod, until I realized the AG was the layer I inadvertently scratched while doing the strip. (Just so happened to be the best of the LCD monitors I had available, and the only one I didn't pay anything for...it figures.)

Going for the gold now...thanks again, all...using an antique sewing machine table (someone threw it out!) for my cabinet, since I want to go vertical with mine...hoping it will be beautiful as well as functional when I'm done.

I just tried removing the AG from a samsung 730b lcd and it was going to take the polar with the AG.
It was very hard to even get it started. The method I used was the water soak for about 6-7 hours.

I did a water soak on a CMV 522A with no problems at all it just peeled right off after about 7-8hours soak time.

For the Samsung 730b I ended up polishing it with mothers polish and it worked great.
For anybody wanting to strip a Samsung I would recomend the polishing method.

Hello.After much thought and careful reading about AG removal,I decided to go ahead and attempt this process.I just did'nt want to mount this panel in my build and then be dissatified with the picture due to the AG.It was just one more potential aggravation I wanted to eliminate before the final assembly and testing of my build.

I followed the accepted procedures with a plain distilled water soak.2 paper towels wetted with warm water and covered with plastic food wrap to the edge of LCD with a towel underneath to catch any minor runoff.At 6 hours I got a corner to start peeling using a razor blade and my jewelers eyepiece so I could see exactly what was coming loose.I could plainly see it was the clear AG.Got it peeled about an inch and then it started to tear instead of staying whole.It seemed brittle.I let it soak for 6 more hours and this time I also warmed things up a bit with a blow dryer on low,with the wet towels/plastic still covering the LCD.This time I started at a new corner and and it lifted right off,no tears.The center area got a tad hard to pull,but I kept going very slowly and gently.It was a success!

I still have a very small area(where it was hard to pull in the center)with some glue residue that I can't seem to remove.96% Isopropyl Alcohol would'nt remove it.********Should I try diluted acetone?********

This panel is from a TruTech 15" LCD TV - PLV1615T.My plog is under "Well,here it goes..1st build"

Method:

1. Cut piece of cleaning cloth (1/8" thick) to the size of the AG layer.
2. Soaked this under the tap until fairly damp.
3. Placed on monitor and left for 3 hours, adding more water every hour.
4. Lifted up corner with FINGERNAIL, no knife needed here.
5. Pulled AG layer off in one piece very very slowly.

See pictures:











I'll let you know what happens when I connect it back up again....

Ok, connected it back up after a few hours of drying.

Pros:

- Amazing colours
- No annoying marks on the screen. (My reason for removing the AG layer was to get rid of a mark that had been left on it when I dropped the controller board on the screen)

Cons:

With all the moving around of the screen I've done, one of the FFCs came loose and about 8 or 9 columns of pixels are stuck at a colour.
However, this is not a problem as they are at the far left hand edge and aren't in the field of view anyway, so they don't even show on the screen.

All in all, this was well worth the time.

And as SUPRA says.......let this be the LAST thing you do.Theres no reason to strip the AG until everything else is in order.
The AG protects the LCD during the build.

I have a 1" x 1" flaw in mine.Nobody really notices it but me,until I point it out.It was my carelessness and it bugs me now. It got scratched.

Very easy to do it, 3 hours to wet the panel with water replenish each 30 minutes, the AG take off without problems in one single piece, without effort, just be patiente, a little glue remains in panel in the border but easy removal with water, word of caution the Polar is very sensitive to scratch, do it gently wth the removal of remain glue only in the remains spots.


30% improvent in contrast and light sharp image too, worth the effort and the scare, the fringes of the fresenl now visibles in image but solved repositioning the fresnel lens

Sorry my poor english is not my mother tonge
