I did a search but didn't see this issue.

I'm running through the basic setup on my CRT t.v. for practice, and I'm having an issue with the included cardboard 3 color filter card.

I can't seem to see through what should be the "blue filter". Its much darker or less transparent than the red and green, and I can't seem to see through it to preform the test.

holding it up to a lamp makes it look purple. Am I missing something?why is the blue filter so dark?, blue seems to be the most critical according to the disk.

it's a fairly dark filter, but you should be able to see through it without too much difficulty. I suppose it's possible maybe your filter has two pieces stuck together or something like that, but you should be able to see through enough to align colors.

i peeled the card apart, each color had two pieces of the same color, expect my blue, I got a blue and red (hence my purple comment).

Will I be ok only using one piece of film rather than two, since red and green were suppose to be looked through with two pieces?

That sounds like a manufacturing problem - it should be blue filters! Doubling up on filters does seem to help - I often do that with the AVIA filters.

I think one should still be ok to use, but you can get more DVE filters.
