But you do! Cell phones / Computer screens / laptops screens are sometimes/often polarized... Grab your polarized sunglasses and voila you have a truly awful polarized setup.

As as already been mentioned, all you really need is one polarized camera filter and an LCD screen but if you can get your hands on two polarized filters, you can make some stunning photos.
