    Does anyone know where exactly is the 3D emitter located?

    I use my laptop for extended hours for both work and games. Anti glare seems to be a must for me on my new R3.

    I've checked Dell website. There solution is essentially the same but have the emitter area cut out to prevent 3D sync problems. But there AG screen is way too expensive... Robbery dude!!!

    I've seen better cheaper protectors, so only problem is with the 3D emitter. Does anyone seems to know exactly where it is? I see a slightly darker area on bottom left of the screen close to the left hinge. Not sure if that is the emitter "window".

    Could anyone verify? So I can save a crap load of money.

    Yep that is the emiter window. If you watch a 3D film and place something infront of if, your glasses spaz out!
