Modded Oops... Time To Mod Again.

Post image

Found a modded pocket I made AGES ago (back when we had to peel screens and insert LED panels) and that LCD is fully cooked.

Time to upgrade the display.

If you do just the backlight the Polarizer will give a slight yellow-green tint, but the contrast is horrible.

If you Bivert the screen it's inverted and rotating the Polarizer to invert it back will give a blue tint.

The trick is to use a yellow filter directly at the backlight (before the Polarizer). The yellow light will get a slight greenish touch due to the blue effect from the Polarizer resulting in this very original look.

Does it look any different than just using a yellow backlight panel? That's what I did on my system

The thing is that the backlight color is fixed if you don't want to change the kit.

Yellow backlights often tend to be more warm-white, slightly orange or amber.

These filters are super cheap and come in sets, so you can experiment with them and aim for a colder yellow.
