How to build a Transparent LCD Side Panel for PC: Snowblind build
This is a personal project I have always wanted to do. The wallpapers I used are all from Wallpaper Engine.
Monitor: Acer AL1717
My PC case: Lian Li Lancool II Mesh RGB Mid-Tower Chassis

So talented 😍
cool Idea... 👌
damn good work and nicely presented. so many of these snowblind builds are needlessly complicated or skip things like finding the damn power connectors

@SillentStriker hi, you don't have to solder and stuff. I know it looks super complex but it's really not. If you want do this, I'm willing to help, answer all questions you have and guide you through it. You can contact me through my email or instagram
Your snowblind custom is so simple, specially where you cut off the power voltage of the the monitor and just connect it together. Unlike others they compute the voltage in order to know which is the right one to connect voltage together. By the way you said Samsung monitor but you use the Acer AL1717, which is the right one? Great Work buy the way. I will try to do the same. Thank you. 👍

@Dropship-jc9yq sometimes the anti glare coating is pasted on both sides. As long as it is not the polarizer which is usually tinted, you're safe.
Wish I could make one for myself 😮
Great video.. what happend if you dont put wet towel on the back of panel? thanks

I forgot to film the rest of that part, but it is to remove the anti glare film. You have to keep a wet towel for at least 5-6 hours and peel off the anti glare coat. Don't keep it for too long cuz the polarizer film can peel off too

@thathugepillow3577 hi Huge pillow 🤣. so if it isn't written on the board, the only way I know how to check is to plug the cables in, turn the board on, and check it with a multi meter. Set your multi meter to Voltage, take your black wire of the multi meter and ground it somewhere, and test with the red wire of the multi meter. If the voltage is 0 or close to 0, that's ground wire. But I don't think you should worry, cuz I have taken apart 3 old monitors from different companies and all of them had it labelled
do you connect the lcd screen to your cpu? how and what do you use for the graphics?

Yeah, so the small board I mentioned in the video, has a VGA port. I connect that to my pc like how you would for a regular monitor
Are you having problems with your main monitor? Many people write that if two monitors with different Hertz are connected, then the main one (144 or more) will have problems. If a video is launched on the second (custom) one, there will be a drop in frames (and frame tearing) on the main one in dynamic games

i have used this for 2 months now, and i don't have any problems. This is just my opinion, but i think it will only be a problem if you are trying to display a single window in 2 monitors with different refresh rates. not sure though, but I've never had this problem cuz i dont usually split 1 window in 2 monitors.

Thats a myth
I did this a while back but could not remove the antiglare layer. I was using paper towel, ill try again with an actual towel.

Yeah keep it for atleast 5-6 hours. And comes right off. Also don't keep it for too long cuz I did that to one of my screens and the polarizer film peeled off as well

@hardikdhingra6267 if the polarizer peels off, it will not display any image or barely will. In your case, it might be either the background or the light or both. So this works best with a white background, and the pc inside has to be well lit. Any black or dark background really affects the visibility of the image

@@lunosama does the polarised layer being on the inside of the cabinet affect the visibility too? I’ve pasted the flipped screen to the glass. I wonder if putting it up straight would help

@hardikdhingra6267 I'm not sure how that will affect the visibility cuz I haven't tried but, like I said earlier, if you have a low lit background or have pc parts that are black or dark in color will hamper the visibility.
its not written which wire is 5v and ground in my case so what can i do?

As long as you didn't peel off the polarizer which is a bit tinted, you're safe. Anti glare coatings are just a transparent coating and not coloured or tinted.
Where can I download these wallpapers?

@mahdiangel the softwares called "wallpaper engine". You can get it from steam at a cheap price. You get thousands of wallpapers and can create your own as well.
