| Lightgun + smoked plexiglass = ??? |
| (1/1) |
| Gideon:
Will smoked plexiglass over a TV screen cause a lightgun to malfunction? Maybe? Possibly? Anyone with hands-on experience? |
| Khenemet Heru:
I'm curious myself if anyone can confirm, as I am debating adding plexi in front of a PC monitor on the cab I'm designing, since I'm going to use the Act-Labs gun. I've heard that it can throw off calibration, making them less accurate... however to make them malfunction totally I'd be surprised, i guess it would depend on how dark the plexi really is... |
| Lilwolf:
I cant' answer you definately... but it wont work as well. I had to turn the brightness up on one of my monitors to get it to work with it... |

I've got 2 act-lab guns with 1/8" smoked plexi which I picked up from Menards (slight brown tint if that matters). I noticed no difference between my setup with the plexi and without it. You might just need to recalibrate the guns once you have the plexi installed. |

Thanks for the replies, guys. What about transparent plexiglass? I would imagine it is possible that the signal is a bit dilluted. --- Quote from: drunkatuw on February 17, 2004, 04:38:16 pm ---I've got 2 act-lab guns with 1/8" smoked plexi which I picked up from Menards (slight brown tint if that matters).

They can't be recalibrated. I suppose monitor settings are all that will help with those. |
