That's a neat trick! It'd probably work best with Pyrex glass (1.474). Too bad the person who made that video didn't use twice as much glycerin... then there would be a bottle cap floating in apparent emptiness.I see on that list that glycerin is 1.473. This stood out to me because just last night while browsing fark.com's Video links page, I saw this video of a glass bottle being disappeared in a glass of glycerin. However, I am unaware of whether glycerin would be safe to use on the surface of the monitor.
Yes, even if I could special-order tape in that size it'd be hellishly difficult to apply it without creating bubbles. Heck, I can't even apply the 2-inch-wide tape all the way across without it bubbling, at least not without a second person to hold the tape. But seeing it work on a little patch of my screen gave me hope! The Lumenlab page that I linked shows pictures of LCDs where part of them has been polished and another part has been taped. The two regions look exactly the same. The photos are not detailed enough to show whether sparkle has been removed, but if they look alike in one way, I'd imagine they're probably alike in the other way.
I think polishing would be at least an order of magnitude easier than taping, and much less risky than removal. I also get the impression that a polished AG is less reflective than a removed AG, while probably still virtually eliminating sparkle (though nobody has said outright that it does, and they're not doing it for that purpose). Not to mention that I'm afraid that removing the AG would leave the polarizer extremely vulnerable to scratches and stains.
But experimenting on a dead 3007WFP-HC or LG3065 is looking like an attractive idea. It would at least tell me if the AG layer is thick enough to be polished. And after finishing with the polishing, I could experiment with removal.
Thanks, already tried that. They gave me a definite NO. They said they're planning to do invisibleshields for laptops, but haven't released them yet (and that'd be no good for me; still way too small).Have you ever heard of a product called the Invisible Shield? It ships with a spray and application tool that allows you to apply it without the annoying bubbles. Although applying it in a steamy room helps the process even more. Don't ask me why but it seems to be the case.
What you could do is call up Zagg, the Invisibleshield people, and see if they can custom make you a piece for your display. then ask them to give you LOTS of that spray so that you can apply it without bubbles. Not sure this would work, but it's worth a try. I use it to protect my PSP screen. And I know it works well for smaller screens like ipods, etc., but never tried to put one on a 30 incher.
That's a very good point.There are auctions for larger sizes, I just thought you might want to test it first.
Do you know if this stuff would peel off easily without residue (or with easy to clean residue)?
As would I.I'd like to get this conversation going again, I would be very interested in the results of anyone who has tried accomplishing this
I found these protective films which come in sizes large enough for the screen, but I can't find any info on what adhesive they use, and as such have no idea on how well the refraction indexes would match. I'll probably mail them with some questions and/or order a sample from them.

Some pictures of bottles of immersion oil might look brown just because the bottle is translucent brown.What type of immersion oil have you ordered? Looks like they come in different types grouped by viscosity?
Anything to watch out for? (I've tried googling around and saw some cheaper ones that looked like they were brownish, but I assume we'd want it to be perfectly clear?)
