that sheet isn't actually a polarising sheet, it is a refractive layer, that splits the light into 3 directoins, stright ahead and to + and - 45 degrees, so that the backlight makes the lcd visible to people standing next to you, although i may well be talking about different designs that the cmv

I don't know wtf you're talking about but every TFT LCD that I know of has permanent polarizers, one on each side of the LCD panel. You could in theory peel them off but that would be very stupid..

I'm glad that nothing has to be removed.

In other threads I have seen it mentioned that some polarizing sheets were removed from other LCD's.

i was confused about this for some time also because i have a laptop LCD that has not only the fixed polaroids that you tell me about on both sides but also two cling film like transparent layers that split the light in a ' Y ' shape from as it comes in the backlighting. the result is two images of the backlight projected on the roof. it is cool plasic, you look through it straight and you can see things beside you. quite shagadelic.

Ummm, often there are diffusers or collimators, usually as thin semi transparent sheets that you would want to remove, but I haven't heard of them being glued to the lcd, altough there may be cases in which they are. If someone removed the polarizers I would like to know how they could get the lcd to work after that, they are necessary for the lcd to function.

"Polarizing filters being a set of very fine parallel lines act to block all light waves apart from those parallel to the lines of the polarizing filter. If you use another polarizing filter at 90 degrees to the first filter you would block all light getting through. So if you now put the twisted liquid crystals between these two polarizing filters the light passing through the first polarizing filter is twisted the 90 degrees necessary to allow it to pass through the second polarizing filter. Apply a voltage to the liquid crystals to align them vertically and the untwisted the light is now blocked by the second polarizing filter. No light gets through."

What is the panel in 1515 monitor anyway? In post #5 it seems to read A150X1 which is the monitor model number. I can see CMO logo printed on PCB but not a LCD type like M150X3 etc. which CMO manufactures (www.cmo.com.tw).

There is a number stuck onto both the horizontal and vertical controller boards: L$U3131-101A

I hope this helps
