Hello, I just got my blue dmd installed on Tron with the pinbits blue plexi plastic. I’m not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but the dmd now seems blurry with this blue plexi. Is there something I need to do to make this not blurry? I have also cleaned it.

Just for fun I put the clear back on the speaker panel and put the blue sticky film that came with the dmd on, and it looks clear now, but I would prefer to have the plexi because I think it looks nicer.

Thanks for any help!

For anyone having the same issue with the blue dmd looking blurry behind the pinbits blue plastic filter, I found a fix! As I was looking at the mounting for the dmd I noticed that the light coming off of the led’s on dmd was reflecting off the blue plastic. This was causing it to kind of glow before the light gets all the way through the blue plastic making it look fuzzy. To fix this problem, I modified the mount brackets that hold on the dmd to move the dmd up against the blue plastic itself. This then does not allow light to spread out, it goes straight through eliminating the blurry glow affect. I am much much happier now with it!
