Hi,

unfortunately I wrecked my old Quato 24" TFT today by trying to change it's panel.
However the TFT is easily separated from the backlight which contains fluorescent bulbs. It produces very even and also very bright light.
So what if I use this as a soft light in the studio? I guess the light is polarized, but what does that mean unless I don't use a ploarizing filter in front of the lens? (I don't have one here handy to try).
Other than the possible issue of polarized light and the unknown color temperature(I guess around 6500K, this could be measured), what do you think about it?
This light is brighter and more even than my small Kinoflo banks.
I just discovered this possibility today and wanted to ask for other's experiences before ordering a VESA adaptor to mount it on a lightstand. (I completely removed the TFT, only the backlight is inside the monitor's housing now).

Thank you,
pjotr
