    Glare reducing material over Lilliput touchscreen?/

    I continue to fight the glare/reflection on my Lilliput touchscreen. Does anyone know of some sort of glare-reducing flexible plastic material I could put on top of the touchscreen. Obviously, it needs to be low-loss (let most of the light thru), and very flexible so that it doesn't mess up the touchscreen performance. I'm not sure if such a thing exists, but if we have any plastics experts out there, your comments would be welcome.

    I know 3M makes film designed for this purpose - check this link . Problem is whether they sell the stuff to end-users. Please let us know if they do - I have the same glare problem on my Lilliput.

    This is probably not what you want, but Walmart has this LimoDark stuff, for temporarily sticking to your window. I used to stick it on my display at night to cut the glare (my old dstn display)

    Dodge,

    Thanks for the lead. Did you use it to cut glare, or to reduce the brightness of your screen at nite? My glare problem is during the day.

    Schua,
    I looked at the 3M stuff. Very expensive and I can't find a retail outlet for it. I'm experimenting with some stick-on celophane-type material right now. I'll let you know how it goes.

    I don't know if this is exactly what you wanted, but you could cut the sheet down to the size of screen.

    SjLucky --- good idea. I think I'll look into this type of product. However, my guess it they are too stiff to let me use the touchscreen.

    Superthug - most of my glare comes in thru the front windshield. Don't think I want to tint that.......

    Maybe think about a polarising filter under the touchscreen, so that the touchscreen isn't affected by the glass....

    Maybe a lame idea...

    How about trying a piece of window tint film over the screen?
