Guys, my new monitor is blindingly bright after pulling the protective film off.
nice lifehack
Wear polarizing sunglasses and now only you can see the screen. Hardware based incognito mode.
What they peeled off looks like the layer of dark stuff, the polarized sheets look different and are usually bending the indium tin oxide coated layer of glass.
I’ve disassembled a lot of monitors.
Wife actually accidentally did this once :/
Props to her! My gf struggles when peeling a banana
Why can’t your right hand peel a banana?

The wife probably:
What a baddy.
Gotta love those taco flavored kisses!
I do … she just had a real moment that day.
To be fair, the screen surface did protrude past the bezel, which is rather unusual.

I have definitely seen TVs where there is a top transparant plastic layer that looks like protective film but is absolutely not supposed to come off. I’ve even seen two models of OLED TVs that are very similar, and have plastic on the metal backing. On one of them it says to absolutely not remove the plastic. On the other it says to make sure to remove it, otherwise the TV will overheat.
Even if you know a lot about these kinds of things, don’t be proud and just read the manual / quick start guide. It will tell you what plastic needs to be removed and what needs to stay.
RTFM is a superpower. Manufacturers also spend a ton of time making these.
