Post by: daz5182 on January 26, 2011, 08:50:14 am
 well i've got myself a MFD2 DVD and i've cleaned the screen, however there was a blue tinge to the screen before and i've rubbed it off, what is the tinge and have i broken it now?

Want to know before i think about installing it........

Thanks for any comments in advance.

i think it was the anti glare coating that's all, anyone else ever done the same? Does it really matter that that is not there anymore?

If so where do i get a new screen?

Cheers

I think your right......... does it really matter? Well if it didnt need to be on there,why was it? In normal operation you'll probably be fine but in bright sunlight you may struggle.

As for a new screen try ebay.de or you could try PM'ing Darren (Mortygttdi) as he might know of a source.

If it's an MFD2 then, being non-touchscreen, a screen protector may help if you need the antiglare.

hi mate mine was the same when i got my car and i just carefully polished the screen with some megs plastx until the coating was completly removed, its a bit fiddly getting into the corners but worth it when done  :happy2:

cant say ive noticed much glare from it in 2+ years,
