So you're saying that using a material there that isn't reflective like a mirror, but spreads/diffuses the reflected light might brighten without creating a second image. >Of course, Palm-style PDAs get across that problem by having the reflective >layer right up against the LCD itself ... I wonder if thats possible on the >Libretto ... "right up against the LCD itself" ... Geesh... how much room is there between the back edge of the LCD and the case? I just assumed the reflective material would be in direct contact with the back of the LCD. But re-thinking with what you've said, would there still be a double image problem even there? The LCD has a depth. If there are crystals back to the rear of the monitor, I wonder how it manages to focus them all onto the flat surface of the screen. Also, by adding the reflective material and pumping up light output from the fluorescent illuminating bulbs, do you then end up running the risk of the image beginning to 'wash out' Matt _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
