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...

drunkatuw:
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.

Gideon:
Thanks for the replies, guys.  What about transparent plexiglass?  I would imagine it is possible that the signal is a bit dilluted.

But what about these?  They can't be recalibrated.  I suppose monitor settings are all that will help with those.
