« on: September 25, 2005, 06:30:47 pm »
i was wondering if smoked glass or tinted glass works better on games and if either will kill glare? my ceelign light glares half my screen when playing and my bezel well looks really bad .

also i had a sugestion to use plexi and add tint by buying some from like wal-fart (i could p0roperly apply it)

Glass will usually reflect MORE than your computer screen because most computer screens have an anti-glare coating on them.
The overall appearance of the cab will be alot better with it though.

The easy solution is to turn off the ceiling lights.
