Hi

Just looking at the diagrams, I don't think the glass is half-silvered
- it looks like a large sheet of Polaroid™. It only needs to polarize
the transmitted light from the vertically oriented monitor, since the
reflected light from the interface between two materials (at least one
of which has a refractive index) will be polarized in any case (that's
why your Polaroid™ sunglasses let you see below the waves...). My
physics is too rusty to remember, but I think the vertical monitor in
this case needs to be polarized vertically, since the reflected
polarized light will be horizontal.

No idea where you can buy large sheets of Polaroid™ though.

IMWBW, though...
