Where to find a Video essentials blue filter cheap?

Post by ATARI800XLfan »

Hello. I recently won a Video Essentials for my laserdisc player. After winning the auction I realized the disc does not come with a blue Filter. I checked THX but they want 18 including shipping for a pair of Blue filter glasses. I was wondering if there is a place to get one's cheaper or if anyone happened to have a pair they would not mind selling. Thanks for your time.

EDIT: any type of blue filter cheaper that is.

can't you make one yourself with a blue sharpie and some saran wrap? I recall reading that somewhere.

Your TV may allow you to turn off the individual colors.

For example, the Sony Wega series has settings in the service mode RON/BON/GON, which, when toggled off, turn off the respective colors. I used this setting when calibrating mine using the Avia DVD.

TV does not do that.
