Guys, my new monitor is blindingly bright after pulling the protective film off.
And now it's not even working properly

Wear polarizing sunglasses and now only you can see the screen. Hardware based incognito mode.

Remember when the Fold phones first came out and people were peeling off the screens?

The bezel on mine is so narrow the film hung off the edge enough to know the difference

Using old monitor panels and the diffuser is actually a genius way of installing fake windows.

I have definitely seen TVs where there is a top transparant plastic layer that looks like protective film but is absolutely not supposed to come off. I’ve even seen two models of OLED TVs that are very similar, and have plastic on the metal backing. On one of them it says to absolutely not remove the plastic. On the other it says to make sure to remove it, otherwise the TV will overheat.
Even if you know a lot about these kinds of things, don’t be proud and just read the manual / quick start guide. It will tell you what plastic needs to be removed and what needs to stay.

RTFM is a superpower. Manufacturers also spend a ton of time making these.

My car has this on the dash. It’s super fucking annoying cause the glue that’s held it on has failed twice in a year.
It’s a free warranty replacement but fuck man it’s annoying.
And its apparently a rare issue too I just got super fucking unlucky ):

Why can’t your right hand peel a banana?

I do … she just had a real moment that day.
To be fair, the screen surface did protrude past the bezel, which is rather unusual.
