You can buy a sheet on ebay for a couple of bucks, e.g., from the great guy I link to in this post if he's still in business.
Using Rubylith will also take care of the problem of white light leakage through black pixels on backlit LCD displays, which is a problem with software-based solutions. And it'll reduce brightness while you're at it. It might however introduce some blurring, depending on how thick the glass on your device in front of the screen is (thicker glass, more blurring). |
Thank you. I will give that a try. So far photographic safe lights and red plastic covers are my main method. I did try red cellophane but it wasn't really effective.
