Is it possible to put PDC on a monitor that doesn't already have it?
 
yea
just get one of these it's pretty cheap

i dont see why people are calling it pdc... sounds like a new buzzword. it's just the same thin film interference ar coating that people have used for decades on eyeglasses, camera lenses, and even crt monitors.
 
What's that called, and how much does it cost?
By the looks of it, I'm guessing 50k.
 
i think it's technically possible to put apply an ar coating to a film that you can just slap onto your existing monitor. like a screen protector
 
yup didnt know it existed before i searched yesterday. it seems pretty legit from the few youtube videos about it. i got a piece for my nexus 7 and ill post pics when i get it
 
maybe ill post a review in a new thread

but anyway, it works but not as good as I had hoped.
here's a picture where it looks most effective:

but for instance it's nowhere near as effective as the AR coating on my crt:

i believe this is due to reflections at the interface between the glass and the film's adhesive

The second picture looks like you didn't have the coating on the phone at all?
 
(it's my nexus 7 2013 tablet)

the clouds in that picture are saturated white so it's not an accurate picture for showcasing the film's ability. it's more to show how much better the crt's ar coating is :p

but yea if you hvae a bright window facing the monitor, this probably isn't going to work wonders.
