How easy is this to use in direct sunlight? glare? or no?

I agree, just adjust the light to bright with no problem! No glare. I love my Nook HD+ and even got one for each of my grandsons!

I found the NOOK HD + easy to use in the glare. As a reader, it performs well.

no glare, light adjustable, sure, but don't expect the same comfort you would have reading a paper book or e-ink reader (ie black on white) on the beach. I'm always questioning the use of these modern color screens retina or else under the outdoor sun for long periods of time. They're at their best indoor where light is either artificial or dimmed

Not so much. It will eliminate most of the glare, but the brightness of the sun can still make it difficult to see the screen.

I was able to use it in the sunlight today but I did find it easier to use with my sunglasses off.

I would expect that you would notice a reduction in glare, if you tune the orientation of the filter sheet. Be aware that there is an overall reduction of light through the sheet, even when it is not affecting the glare.

By coincidence, I have morning sunlight facing the monitor at an angle through my kitchen wiindow right now as I type this, and I can see it just fine. However, you do need to be aware that direct sunlight is not any monitor's friend. If you can, always try to position a monitor away from a window. Even the best of them will have their spots where glare can distract you.

Hi, not too much glare with room lighting. Overall pretty happy with it but keep in mind that you cannot adjust the angle of the display (at least I have not figured it out). but that has not been a problem. Fairly quick but slower than my mac book pro likely because of the solid state drive.

No...but it cuts the blazing sun a treat! Once the sun passes a certain point, I just roll it back up.Have plenty of other, (and more expensive) shades that allow light through...frankly, as my house is west facing I have not found these to be helpful. While you might be able to "see" through the screen, the glare is so great, not too mention how much heat still comes through.

It is not a glass surface, so the glare on it is minimal, but there is some depending on what lighting you have, such as windows/lamps, etc. I have not found there to be any glare on the TV at all, but I do not have any kind of direct sunlight in the room the TV is placed in.

The monitor does have a lot of glare. While it rarely creates an inconvenience to me, when it does I just close a blind or curtain.

We have a lot of natural light as well, although none shines directly on the screen. But I haven't had any issue at all with glare on this TV.

In daylight if you are not too far away it seems to work fine. Direct sunlight is another story, not bright enough to overcome that. But seems to work pretty well to around 100'.

Some say it is hard. I find it easy to see in all types of lighting. The backlight works well in dim or dark places. I was in regular daylight today and it was easy to see. Maybe if it was direct sunlight like a bright sunny day with the sun directly on it you may have trouble, but I had plenty of sun in NH today and had no problems.

i personaly haven't had any problem with glare, have great picture, color, but i suppose it depends on where you set it up, how much light comes in

To me...it's no glare. I have it sitting inside a cabinet so I suppose this could affect it, but I have had no issues at all with glare. Hope this helps.

The "glare" (or reflection) is pretty minimal unless the room you're viewing it in is super-bright (as in tons of artificial lighting) or extremely sunny (as in a wall of windows with direct sunlight coming through it). Otherwise it's not a big deal. You can deal with it simply enough by adjusting the screen brightness in the display menu, or pull the curtains or shades closed. Considering the quality of the picture and the price it's no big deal to live with.

Its not a matte finish, but its not overly reflective either. We have had no issues with glare.

Easily? No. I have tinted windows on my van, and when I am in bright daylight I have to really look at the screen to see it. It helps to move the mirror so there isn't a glare. Then, when you shift back to drive, just adjust the mirror back to normal. Bottom line: it could be better, but it still works.
