I worked as an optician and all you have to do is look outside and look at a hot spot on a car or something shiny, and if it diminishes almost completely they’re polarized.

You said you need to use an LCD display and you used an AMOLED one...

[@EyeHeartShades]

This method works both on LCD and AMOLED screens.

[@imranwafi2962]

true

[@AureliusR]

It shouldn't work on AMOLED screens at all -- they do not need polarizing filters. it's possible some manufacturers install them for optical clarity, whereas in LCDs they are fundamental to the way the technology works. If you do this with an LCD screnn, the LCD will go COMPLETELY black. This is the best way to test, as it is very, very obvious if they're polarized.

[@Kreln1221]

You can also use a second known polarized lens, from another pair of glasses for example, and you basically do the same thing. You look through both lenses, and then as you're looking through both of them, you turn one lens 90°. If both lenses are polarized, then they will be relatively transparent, and light will go through both of them when the polarization of both lenses are aligned in the same direction, but when the lens's polarization are 90° to each other, they will turn opaque and not let any light through.

[@zimamotto4897]

Got mine recently. Was scared if they weren't polarized. Your test proved me wrong! Kudos for the good work.

[@aleramone23]

A much easier way is using a common calculator quartz screen, turn calculator on, press some random numbers and do the same, screens turns all black on polarized.

[@JH-ng3hj]

You can also look at tinted car windows. Not after market film tinting, but the kind that is built into the glass. When you look at the window through polarized glasses you will see diamond shapes.

[@alwaysopen7970]

Or not at all. Depends on who makes the glass.

[@brenda46ist]

Re: how to tell if sunglasses are "polarized", there is another simple test: if you have one pair of polarized glasses, you can place a 2nd pair of lenses behind (so you are looking thru both lenses at the same time. If aligned on the same plane, turn the bottom ( ? lense) 45 degrees (either Ryan. Or lt.). If this blocks out ALL light thru the lenses, the questionable lenses are polarized. The reason being that polarized lenses block light in one direction. If light travels thru both lenses initially, turning one lenses. Perpendicular to the other will block all light telling you that both lenses are "polarized".

[@zaimie4693]

Thanks. Very helpful👍👍👍

[@jedibbq]

I just bought Oakley batwolfs on the Letgo app. They were advertised as non polarized soft grey lenses but when I perform this test on my LG LCD TV the lenses fade out to almost all black at around clockwise 2:15 angle. Are they polarized? I payed $50 and theyre mint. The pretty girl seller said that the boyfriend she broke up with a year ago left them at her place and that they were never used once. She said they have been collecting dust in a drawer for a year. Her loss my gain?

[@sylvia4425]

Before the advent of the smart phone...we did exactly this but instead of using a smart phone "lens" as the 2nd lens...we held up the questionable sunglasses up to another pair of ACTUAL polarized lenses. If they turn darker (or blackout) as you rotated....you knew the 'questionable' sunglasses now passed the test and are actually polarized. *(I realize most people know this...but there might be a 16 yr old or really young person who doesn't know this.)

There is a much easier way. You need one pair you know is polarized. Take the second pair and hold the lenses where they cross each other at a 90* from the other. If the lens on the second pair black out, they are polarized. If not, they are not polarized.

polarised ( blocks UVA and UVB, from the sun)

[@drayvaind6103]

so as long as the color shifts slightly gets darker or lighter the glasses are polarized?

[@MasterRMilan]

Those who are complaining about the "3 seconds" should know that to realize if its polarized or not it will take 3 seconds and to do the setup it may take ages for you as you are too laze to even watch this. Its a neat 1 and simple to understand.

0:27 Well... Old CRT TVs and new OLED/AMOLED TVs or Smartphones have pixels but aren't necessarily polarized. Even LCD displays aren't all the same. All in all, it's a reasonable way to test your sun glasses. But if you don't have this effect, that doesn't necessarily mean you're sun glasses aren't polarized...

[@philinator71]

Just found out my prescription sunglasses are not polarised. :(

[@littlegoobie]

99% are not unless you specifically asked for it and paid more to get it. I looked at 2 types when i last got glasses, one was called Drivewear. I didn't like the idea that they never go clear and ended up getting maui jim polarized sunglasses in Rx. The fact is that polarized glasses can't be made perfectly clear (last i heard) means you'll want a 2nd pair for night and general use.

[@RahulRkvlogs]

[@lemonysnicket4002]

me too am angry

[@TheMarkoPoloProgram]

No big deal. I heard the only thing polarized glasses do is protect your eyes from light glares. Not all essentially protect your eyes from UVA and UVB.

[@lorenaramirez9387]

@@littlegoobie I'm sorry I didn't understand what you meant by "never go clear". Polarized suns are not clear and are not ment to be clear. If you want them to be clear and go dark in the sun, these are called transitions. If you meant sharp when you wrote "clear" then I have never heard of this. I work as an Optician and we can make polarized lenses with sharp vision. I've not heard of any of my patient's complain about polarized lenses not being sharp in vision. I also have some of my own and have no issues.

You can also use a pair of polarized sunglasses. Look through one pair while rotating the other. The lens will you are looking at will turn dark and light depending on the angle you turn it. If no darking/ lightening then one pair isn’t polarized.
