    oof. You'd think at those prices it would actually work for what it was made for.

    #5 9 years ago

    Non glare glass was invented and designed to block out backglass and display glare 100% from the machine while your playing. It's the sole reason and purpose it was worked on in the first place. they failed. While it does a good job of blocking ambient room lightly (which isn't a problem anyway), the display and backglass glare is just as bad as with a sheet of $20 glass. Unless your 8 feet tall and can look directly down and be 90 degrees to the surface of the glass.

    O really ? I didn't kmow that but it is clearer than normal glass correct

    Yes, it works great. I have one on my TZ and love it.

    #10 9 years ago

    I have 3 sheets of this on 3 different pins. It reduces glare greatly from the backglass/dmd and is almost completely invisible in the lower half of the playfield as long as you keep it free of dust and fingerprints.

    #11 9 years ago

    P.S. I bought them during the black friday sale and though they were still ridiculously expensive after shipping all the way to Canada, they are a massive upgrade to your playing experience.

    #12 9 years ago

    Everything in pinball is a price gouge, it's a piece of glass for godsake.

    #13 9 years ago

    I put Invisiglass on my STTNG and it looks phenomenal.

    These 2 accounts make it hard to decide.

    I'd love some but us Canadians can't afford anything right now

    Quoted from DarkWizard:

    Neo is wrong... for whatever reason he is exaggerating. Take into account the other people saying how good it is. When the pin is turned off (no DMD/backglass lighting) I have literally had people come over and not play my machine (and in one case jam his fingers) because they thought the glass was off and i was cleaning it or working on it.

    Ditto. Exchange rate is keeping me from ordering, have a friend who wants one and I could take another sheet for my CFTBL.

    Incorrect, it was invented to reduce glare, which it does wonderfully. No glass can completely block out backglass and display glare. Worth the coin IMHO, but to each his/her own.

    That must have been hysterical to watch

    #20 9 years ago

    I have 6 of them, and love them. When I put one on Godzilla, it felt like a different game. You can finally really see the back half of the playfield.

    Expensive, but I agree, one of the best upgrades you can make.

    #21 9 years ago
    Quoted from DarkWizard:

    These 2 accounts make it hard to decide.

    I think it was PDI that originally mis-advertised as preventing all backbox/dmd glare. This was years ago. The claim of elminating all glare was not true so that has since stopped. I don't think "Invisiglass" ever really made the claim. In any event, nobody is advertising it as eliminating backbox and dmd glare anymore. For some reason Neo can't let it go. I don't think I've ever seen a thread about glare-reducing-glass where he doesn't pipe up. Do a search and you'll see.

    Anyway, "Invisiglass" is actually a pretty good description. Invisiglass and the PDR glass are much much clearer than typical glass and CAN give the illusion that there is no glass at all. They will not stop all glare but they do greatly reduce the glare (less so for backbox and DMD glare.) They do reduce the effects of backbox and DMD glare but will not eliminate that glare. The better solotion for DMD glare is a shield. Some backbox glare is pretty much unavoidable.

    Anyway, lots of people happily pay extra for Invisiglass and PDR becuase it looks significantly better than regular glass. The difference is VERY recognizable. It's also VERY expensive.

    #22 9 years ago

    This stuff is amazing. I have it on 90% of my machines. Getting ready to order some more to finish off the collection.

    #23 9 years ago

    Solid upgrade at a fair price. worthwhile upgrade on keeper games

    #24 9 years ago

    Any chance we can get the discount on a combination of standard and wide body? I need 1 wide body and 2 standard...

    #25 9 years ago
    Quoted from jamieflowers:

    Or just swap it out before you sell.

    Quoted from CraZyMuffin:

    Yes you can combine different sizes for the discount

    #27 9 years ago

    Only thing is I can get no glare and perfect visibility for free if I play with the glass off which I do alot and I play alot better along with my old lady and no we dont cheat

    #28 9 years ago
    Quoted from 27dnast:

    That must have been hysterical to watch

    It is! I had someone do the same thing. He was looking at my Tron and went to check something on the playfield and smacked his fingers right into the glass. Oh, we laughed and laughed.

    It is interesting to see other opinions on it. I think it is a great mod and Neo thinks it's crap. Fortunately Neo doesn't decide what I do with my games

    #29 9 years ago

    When I got my WOZ, my wife's first comment was, "Where's the glass?"

    #30 9 years ago

    So how do you get the discount? Discount code? Checkout is charging me full price. It's also not giving me the shipping charges.

    Edit: Forget it. More trouble than it's worth. Saved me from spending $500 too.

    #31 9 years ago

    While this is a good deal, it's more of a special and not a sale.
    I only want 1 piece, so nothing here applies to me
    Again, I'm not knocking the product. Loved seeing it on WOZ. Great stuff.

    You know anyone local that can order another sheet or two so you both can save?

    I tried this before, but is incredibly loud playing that way. The noise of the flippers, pop bumpers, and jet bumpers detracts from the audio of the game. Was actually surprised how much sound from the playfield the glass actually reduces.
    But to each his own.

    #34 9 years ago

    Mine is awesome on my WOZ.

    #35 9 years ago
    Quoted from jamieflowers:

    I agree. I have Invisiglass on 10 of my games. Invisiglass on Twilight Zone is great, especially with a standard glare deflector to block the DMD glare. The product appreciably improves the appearance of woodrail games as well.

    In fact, Invisiglass eliminates so much glare that you can flash-photograph a playfield, while illuminated, and actually see the details of the art. Try doing that with standard glass.

    I was kind of kidding lol but with sub and volume at 12 its not bad really

    #37 9 years ago

    This stuff is great. Once I put it in one machine I had to do all of them. Its nice to be able to take a picture of anything on your playfield without having to remove the glass to to do it.

    #38 9 years ago

    How much is shipping on these to Chicago?

    #39 9 years ago

    I have no doubt it's a cool product but something inside tells me that there is about a 500% markup on this stuff and that's why I don't buy it. I guess that's the problem with not having a lot of competition.

    #40 9 years ago

    Any chance of free pickup?

    #41 9 years ago

    I was interested in this as well, but shipping " to be determined"?

    shipping on 3 or possibly 6 sheets could get really expensive.

    #42 9 years ago

    I'd sooner spend money on glass than any other mod. With our lighting environment, that glass makes a big difference. Totally worth it, IMO. Lots of times I've had to reach in to see if the glass was actually on the machine or not, because there was not enough glare to tell me it's actually installed. Yes, I can find angles where I still see glare, but.. I have to look for them now.

    Got 10 sheets on the last sale. Shipping to California for me added about 15% to the price, UPS ground. Very well packaged; no damage at all.

    Overpriced? Probably. Just like any other mod. Just like the pinball machines themselves. You won't find this stuff cheap on craigslist. The only real way to get a deal here is to find a special like Jen's posted - and try to amortize the shipping by getting two sheets instead of one. Or look at some of the alternatives.

    #43 9 years ago

    Shipping is done as 1 or 2 sheets per box; the sheets have to be the same size. They won't mix a standard and a wide body glass in the same box. It was something like $60 a box (or $30 a sheet) for the shipping to California.

    If you're scared on the shipping.. then just ask Jen about "What if shipping is too expensive?". I asked that myself, and was promised that I can cancel the order and get a refund.

    #44 9 years ago

    Hopefully its be on sale at one of the east coast shows this year and i dont have to pay shipping

    That's exactly what we did in Louisiana. Have some glass coming in to go with my new BBH!

    There certainly is. But you may want to find a different comparison.

    Neither of those machines has Invisiglass on it.
