It would be good for overhead lighting, but bad for the the monitor I
guess. Anybody use it?

I wouldn't think it would work at all.
Pin 2000 glass is totally different, plus the sizes are different

It won’t work but Glare Guards do for the main problem, translite glare.

It would not work. P2K relies on the top half being reflective. you
MUST use the p2k glass.
As people have said a Pinzero DMD glare guard installed upside down
works perfectly to remove all the translite glare.

Yeah it looks like the glare guards do a great job to eliminate the
translite reflection. The rest of the playfield still gets the
overhead glare though. I think there might need to be a specialty
piece of pdi anti glare glass made for the P2K games. It would be
smaller obviously, and would only be treated on the lower part of the
playfield glass.

Due to the price, the market for PDI glass is pretty small. To make it
even smaller with a special Pin2K glass would very likely be no business
case to do so.

PDI glass with the P2K reflective coating? Anybody want to guess the
cost on that.
Yikes!

A local tint shop to apply the reflective film to the PDI glass maybe?
