Well, The results are bittersweet.
Here is the result after assembly: Looks nice! BUT... and I mean a big BUT...
If you look at the LCD, After its been on for at least 15 minutes, it begins to "develop" the film pull lines as if it were tunnel vision:
These displays are sensitive to this I suppose. I didnt use much heat when pulling the transflective film off, But I did pull hard. I am wondering if I damaged the LCD from doing this, it looks like I did.
Was worth a shot I guess. Next time, I just have to use more heat and pull slowly. be VERY careful. I was pulling on the sheet, HARD.. the tunnel vision "creases" appear to be at the points where I rested after pulling.
Oh well....Its not really affecting it that bad.
there is also a black line that develops on both sides of the LCD as well around the same time. This could have happened before I took the LCD apart ,as I have no idea if this LCD was good or not. I got it for parts, and started with it. This could have been a problem before I even started. I dont know.
Its not affected whether the EL is on or not, it still shows up after awhile. Just like tunnel vision.
