Blu Ray makes your TV glow!

It's likely age related. If you been alive long enough you learn a few things. Blacklight does the same

LOL! I'm more then twice your age Steve.

I can't see anything on my blacklight.....too bad school is over, I would've tried it on the oscilloscope screen. Btw there's the mirror trail too, you can see it on some mirrors in the dark if you move the dot at just the right speed.

Age related? I'm 27. If I was supposed to be spending my life so far holding weird things to tv's to see what ones make it glow, I've apparently been doing things all wrong!

You guys have me wishing I saved my first computer screen now, haha. Anybody want to take a stab at why BR works on a tv when a higher powered green doesn't?

randomlugia, do you mean blu ray lasers don't work on lightscribe, and a red ruins them? I've got a CNC router that I could adapt to hold a laser, I'm sure I could find something fun to do with that..

Simple, photon energy. Each violet photon has a higher energy than each green photon. With a color TV, you have red, green, and blue phosphors. A violet photon has enough energy to excite all 3 of those phosphors, so you get colors out, and since violet light is harder to "see" than red, green, and blue, you can see the emitted colors easily. A green photon can likely only excite the red phosphor, and the red light emitted is very easily overpowered by the reflected green light of the laser to the point that you can't see it. Very simple.
