30Video: New video board for SE/30 / IIsi / more?

Perhaps you could put a matte screen protector on it to cut the glare?

As an added bonus, it ought to protect the lens from scratches, as I believe acrylic is fairly soft and gets scuffed and scraped up rather easily (proof: many used Power Mac G4s get their glossy (acrylic) plastics scuffed and scraped such that they end up not looking so good).

One of these days I will try adding an anti glare film or spray. But from my experience the few weeks I had it installed:

When video ON: initially great but after 10 minutes or so I got eye fatigue and a headache from the glare.

When video OFF: looks great in passing but if you stare into the lens straight on, it has a slight fishbowl effect which makes it look hypnotic.

I have packed it neatly away for now but again will try some film or something in the future. The only issue is I think I will only get one shot at a film. Reason being that if it doesn’t work, I think I will get scratches or swirl marks removing it so it will never be the same polished finish afterwards.

I see.

I wonder if it could be lightly sandblasted or something?
