[AZ-Observing] Re: Laptop Screens

Century Plastics is the place. Depending upon the mood of the guy behind
the counter, plan on spending between $5 and $15 dollars.

I use an 1/8 inch thick screen on top of the red night vision in
megastar.

You'll get a choice between 1/16" and 1/8". I've seen both in the field.
If you really want to dim your screen, go with the 1/8". I still have to
turn down my laptop brightness even with the 1/8" plastic in place.

Kerry,

Go to Century Plastics in Phoenix.  It's on the south side of the Gila
River just off 16th street.  I've had them cut screen covers for three
different laptops now, and they always do a great job.

Walk in with the laptop and tell them you need a red piece of plastic,
and they'll know instantly what for and why.  I don't remember what I
paid last time around, but I got three screens (get backups in case you
break the original)...and I know it was less than $10 to do it.

Took them about 5 minutes.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a local place (preferably east valley) that makes
red acrylic laptop screens?  The only other one I've found is on-line
from Ideal Astronomy - it's a reasonable price, but I've never known
anyone with that brand, so I don't know if it's dark enough.  My laptop
does have a brightness adjustment.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
