Re: Lenticular Filter for Windows?

Hi

The Plasma's with per pixel lenticular filters have the lens bonded to the PDP surface - there is then the usual air gap and the outer glass protective cover so you won't have been able to feel it.

Because of the gap between a PDP and the front glass, you can't stick the lens to the outside or it won't work. LCD's on the other hand can have the lens stuck to the panel.

Given that you couldn't feel it, and that it made you feel odd when you were right next to it, I'm now 99% convinced it was a plasma with a per pixel lenticular.

The Windows BSOD won't have looked blurry because it's very low resolution compared with the native resolution of the panel - therefore each pixel will have been spanning many of the elements of the lenticular - so both of your eyes will have seen the same image.
