But since the newest versions of LSDJ has that option, is stupid to do this.

i guess there's no need on using the inverted film if you can change it in the software.

or try inverted film+inverted theme, something like "hybrid biverted" maybe work nice.

I'll check the polarization to see if you're right but from what I remember it was dark in both orientations and I have it not inverted right now.

Blue was super dark, red was light. Just speaking from experience.

It's the polarizing film used with green backlights. Same thing with Blue and probably some other ones as well.

The polarized film is generic and not color specific.

rlock999,

Is the polarized film in the 'inverted' position? When your DMG is off, the screen will be a dark blue color.

The downside to the backlight modification is the mirror foil is removed to allow light to shine through the LCD. The mirror foil is what makes the screen more visible in daylight. The backlight mod is geared towards people who use their gameboy at night and play gigs. If the polarized film is in the normal position, it's much more visible in daylight. If it's in the inverted position, it's more difficult to see.

First I installed it to be red, then after turning it on, noticed I can only see it well in the dark, or if I look at the screen from a certain angle (from the top, looking down). Then I changed it to white and it looks great now, day or night.
