they just seem really expensive considering you can get an aimtrak for 44 and slap it in whatever gun you want...but thats just me. |

The Act Labs guns (or any standard optical guns) are probably not going to do well with any significant tinting. Unlike IR, which zips right through the tint, the light a standard light gun is concerned with is in the visible spectrum. Obviously, the tints used to darken the screen operate in the same wavelengths. So pretty much anything one does to darken the screen, will also hamper the ability of the gun to "see" the raster it uses to determine position. It boils down to how sensitive the gun is to light, but regardless of that, any tint will make it harder for the sensor to pick it up. RandyT |

It's been years since I built my cab, but I think it was for 2 reasons. 1) To add uniformity to the viewing area by producing a near black effect when the monitor is off 2) To enhance the color/contrast of a bright screen. Without the tint, my screen was almost oversaturated regardless of settings |
