Strange things about Alienware screens.

[Maelstrom]

I noticed that if you look through some Imax glasses at your Alienware (I only know it to work with the M14x) you get a wierd image on the left glass.

I just figured that it had something to do with the screen of the M14x since it doesn't do this with any other screen I've found in my house.

I found this somewhere..

Theaters use polarized light with the image for the left eye having a different polarization form the right eye.
The lenses of the glasses are polarized - each eye is polarized differently so you can see the 3D image

Yeh I was thinking that it was a polarizing issue as well. I tried with my M17xR3, and nothing. Both lenses are normal.

That is entirely correct. For example, look at an LCD watch with polarized glasses and when you angle the watch just right, the screen appears completely black.
