What % tint is best?

(1/13) > >>

Don:
Have a TV in my cab and a glass bezel that I'm going to put some window film on to tint it. What %VLT (visible light transmission) do you guys recommend? I'm not sure if the best tint changes depending on your monitor (arcade/TV/PC), what do you guys think?

Heres a link to something similar to what i'm planning on getting: http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170276186878&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Cheers!

Good timing, i was just looking through all the threads here for this subject.  Looks like everyone recommends graylite 14, so 14% light transmission, seems to be best preferred over a CRT.

I dont know about applying your own tinting, that sounds hard to do.  I sure couldnt get it perfect.

Dexter:
I've used 30% grey tinted glass to good effect. Hides everything around the screen (bezel etc) when powered off and gives a real quality look when running . My wife has very sensitive eyes due to an accident and finds playing for extended periods easier due to less glare than on my naomi.

Just turn the brightness up on the CRT a bit.


Ginsu Victim:
Mine is 35% and I'm quite happy with it, but I don't know what is considered by most to be the best.

Beretta:
not sure about % but unless you're trying to hide something i think clear glass looks best.

and when i say glass i mean GLASS, i think glass is nicer then plexi.
