    Just saw this press release on another site. If performance is comparable to PDI and Invisiglass, then I'm glad I held off on purchasing the 4-5 sheets I need for my collection.

    Quoted from thundergod76:

    Do you have to clean this type of optical glass a certain way? I prefer window cleaner and to just be done with it.

    Just don't use window cleaner with ammonia... search the forum for other threads about this, but ammonia can be harmful to the plastics used in pinball games. Even if not in direct contact, I believe the fumes can degrade the plastics over time.

    Quoted from gweempose:

    ... the next time you are at my place, remind me to do a PDI / Invisiglass demo for you ...

    I thought you had the glass removed on your safecracker. Had never seen such clarity, but I'm assuming it was the location in the room with no major reflective lighting in addition to the extreme clarity... as someone else said before me, I almost broke a finger trying to reach out and touch the playfield!!

    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    i wouldn't put a florescent directly above. Nobody should have lighting directly above machine.

    Quoted from epthegeek:

    yeah, not much point in testing a situation nobody would put themselves in to begin with.

    I wish somebody would tell this to the arcade owners where we had our March Silverball tourney on Saturday. Could barely see the playfield through the glare on at least 3 of the pins in the rotation.

    Of course, I also wouldn't expect them to purchase anti-reflective glass since the cost for so many machines would add up quickly. No-win situation!!

    @bigd1979, looking at those pics of yours I think you really need to be buying the new Stern Bent Plastic with Anti-Reflective coating. There's just too damn much glare projecting from the playfield onto the underside of those generic bent plastics.

    And don't forget to replace the glass in that cabinet door in the second pic with AR glass. How can you live with yourself man!!

    Quoted from DCFAN:

    From the front you will likely hardly notice it. From the side this shows it:

    And while I'm offering suggestions, @dcfan, you need to put a really big bent plastic on that window of yours for guests watching from the side while you play JP.

    Quoted from gweempose:

    Where does one buy this glass? I don't see it on Stern's website. Can I pick it up from the factory to save on shipping?

    I read that a few did pick up at Stern and save shipping... assuming you'd have to call them to arrange this. That would be a good option for you probably. But I also found a link on their website.
