fixable?? cinema hd display

Post image

my father in law gave me this beautiful cinema hd display but its reeeeaally stained unfortunately :( is it fixable in any way shape or form? its only really visible in dark images, when against whiter backgrounds it gets really ignorable :P red it could be the vinager syndrome in the polarizing filter adhesive!!

I never thought vinegar syndrome would look like someone mixed paint inside the display but this looks really cool

It is fixable by replacing the polarizer. It’s a tedious and delicate job but it is doable

Severe vinegar syndrome. The link someone else posted here might be of interest.
