Reducing glare on a lightboard?

Sounds like that would do it. Let us know how it turns out.

No, sorry, not nearly complex enough.

Was revisiting this thread to find some small detail and found this request. Simply twisting the polarizing filter in place a little turned out well and solved the problem. Amazing how the same filter has a different impact at different rotations.

Polarizing filters can do interesting things, yeah.

Recently on location when stopping at a fast food restaurant, a crew member said “Hey, I can’t see the menus.” This place had TV screens that were the menus, as you’ll often see… but they were mounted at a 90° angle so they were vertical screens, not horizontal. Well, because these were obviously plain ol’ TV monitors that weren’t intended to be mounted in that direction, their built in polarization was at cross purposes with the polarization in this crew member’s sunglasses… so the menus that were perfectly readable to everyone else were completely black to him. Well, until he took off the shades, of course.

Glad you found a solution.
