Ok this takes the cake. I love when people post items that don't even work right. I just don't see what the point is.

Touchpanel, PLANAR PT120-BK

The touch panel came in today. PLANAR PT120-BK. The power was figured out fairly quickly and it looked like everything was working except the touchpanel part. Thats most likelly due to the fact that my serial cable is not the right one. I guess the blurriness issue was addressed in the forum post as being acidic paper in between the layers of the panel. So like a chump I took everything appart and removed what I thought to be the cultrate part. However I was wrong! Do not attempt to remove the top layer. It is actually the polarizer screen and it makes everything visible!!! After the mod the screen looked really washed out, however it was brighter. Anyways reappling the screen does make everything look ok, and also if turned upside down totally inverts the colors in a crazy way.


Before the mod.



The unrecommended mod.



Looks like of like this, except alot more yellow.
