Spy Monitor (23 photos)

We want to show you how to turn your old conventional LCD monitor spy!
For all the monitor will look just a white screen, but not for you because you will have a special "magic" glasses.

All you need - a pair of old glasses, paper knife and paint thinner.



That's what I used:
Of course this LCD monitor
Disposable 3D glasses from the cinema (old sunglasses should be fine)
solvent (or analogs)
paper cutter
Screwdriver
paper towels
superglue

Step 1. Take the monitor.

Find old monitor that you are willing to sacrifice.




Remove the plastic frame by unscrewing the screws on the back side.




Step 2: Cut the polarizing film.

Most LCD monitors is on the glass cover of the two films: the polarization filtering of light that you do not need to see and matte anti-glare film. Anti-glare we do not need, and polarization we use in our glasses.
It's time to take a knife and cut the film along the edge of the screen. Do not be afraid to press, the metal will not scratch the glass if it does not have ralichnyh crumbs and dust.

* Council of the comments: Not all monitors coverage of the two films is glued on some they just applied and if you remove the protective metal edge of the matrix, they can be easily removed without cutting.


Then pulls the film from the screen. Do not forget to save polarizing film, just remember its orientation.






Step 3: Clean the screen from the adhesive.

After you have removed the film is likely to remain on the screen glue, go to the dirty work.
Clean of the adhesive with solvent, and paper towels.


I found that if you cover your screen with paper towels soaked in solvent and allow them to lie down, remove the adhesive will be easier. Just remover can use any piece of plastic or wood, just scrape the glue off the screen.




Be careful, the next thing would be the solvent does not enter the plastic frame.

Step 4. Work on your monitor is completed.

After you clean off all the glue, you can collect the monitor. Even before you make points, you can test the monitor with the polarizing film!


Step 5. Remove the old lens.

To create points I used disposable 3D glasses from the movie theater, but you can use other lyuby.


Squeeze a glass or disassemble points if possible.




Step 6. We scan, tracing the borders, cut.

If you plan to use a CNC machine or laser cutting, scan and get the image contour elements (trace boundaries).
* The author is engaged in this activity for the order, so here and there so strange for most offer


I scanned the windows, you can use them as a model for their location. Remember that it is important polarizing film orientation. The parties also have the meanings (front / rear).




Just to cut the lenses you can use all the same knife for paper.

Step 7. Collect points and enjoy!

You can collect points, you are ready for the fact that a little have fun!






People may think that you are mad, staring at the white monitor, sitting in sunglasses!

But I think it makes the venture even more fun!
