Anti-Glare solution found?

**kandyman676** · 05-10-2004, 08:08 PM

i just emailed them also in hopes I can get a few samples, but using my job email.

luckly, these samples (if i get them) will come in handy for work and my carPC: I am part of a work project in using a Compaq TC1100 Tablet PC at work and building my carPC with a 7" in-dash lilliput with and old laptop as the CPU. I work as a professional purchasing agent with my work's IS department, who does $7 million in spend through me

i get massive sunglare with the Tablet outside; and some glare on the liliput:

and when the sun is setting:

I have only had this setup in the car as of yesterday, so still working out the software stuff :-)

It looks nice. I'm doing mine for my senior project at college. The catch is that I make an interface and a controller board to do things like access my windows, windshield wipers, headlights and etc. I have a horrible time with glare on top of the fact that I drive a convertible. Talk about bad glare. Its not so bad if no one sits in the passenger seat, but as soon as they do it glares. Those things would be awesome, let me know if you get an idea of a price.

Get your windows tinted. Thats your best antiglare solution.

Only if you don't like to open your windows.

the windows ARE tinted just not the windshield.

also, it doesn't help that in MD, the 35% is the legal limit. I have mine at 37%. any darker and if i am pulled over, then i could get a ticket. my insurance is already high enough being a single male, under 25, and a 3 year old car.

i am thinking of getting the top part of the windshield tinted around 50% or more and slowly fade back to the usual windshield clearness, which should help cut down on glare.

this looks VERY promising.. I'll be looking forward sajid's report on his samples....

100 sheets... I wonder what size those are... and more importantly, price....

also, three different thicknesses, I'm putting two+two together and figuring that the thicker ones will be more effective in cutting the glare, but the question is will they affect our touchscreen responsivness any?

lookin good =D

Whats the email address that every one is using to get samples.

I work for a medical design and development company that I could easily get some samples through.

i hope this **** works, i'm going to contact them for pricing and **** and hopefully samples
