Did you bother to get replacement Polarizing film, or did you use what you stripped off the LCD? Polarizing film seems so expensive, and the 4 line display dimensions mean buying a huge sheet of the stuff to simply get the width I need. I understand the film is glued on, and you'd probably have a helluva time removing it, but once it's removed, would it be too gunky to actually use?

Yes new film is needed Sure it shouldn't be half as expensive as it is... just need to find a better supplier.
Actually, I've seen people just flip the polarizing film that they removed to get an inversed LCD. It wasn't very nice or elegant, but it got the job done Also, the LCD becomes washed out and isn't as nice as buying new polarizing film (from what I've seen)

Not this again... I was under this delusion a while ago after seeing calculator inverted just by flipping the polaroid - it doesn't work with mo lcd's, I tried.
It;s to do with the polarisation of the sheet, vertical and horitontal, instead of diagonal (which reverses on flipping).
