I know the description says retina-scorchingly bright display but can it be seen in direct sunlight?

I have not tried the tuner outside having the sun DIRECTLY on the display but it is definitely bright enough to be seen outside. The display is completely blacked out until you activate it. It is ultra bright.Hope this helps.

It's way better than the first generation but direct sunlight is still a challenge. The display is definitely bigger and brighter, and in my experience I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better tuner for playing in direct sunlight. I bought mine when it first came out with that function in mind, because from my research it seemed to be the most visible. There might be brighter tuners that have come out since then, not sure. I love mine.

I don't think it's possible. If there is, i cant find it. I've read that others are also bothered by the brightness of the display. Try a piece of tinted film, I think you can get some pretty inexpensively at a craft store.

These screens offer clear sharp views. Brighter screen than with previous matte screen protector. But for best performance don't try to use in direct sunlight. Don't think any screen (or no screen) is going to work under that condition.

It's a little bit more difficult to see in bright light, but it's not that noticeable. I think the screen is still visible and clear.

I don't see it unless there is light shining on it. The light from the screen does not light it up. My office is somewhat dark and the frame looks almost black. I really like this monitor.

Yes, the display itself is rather bright. The projected image on the windshield can be a little hard to see, without the film, only when heading directly into the sun. I thought the film might be distracting, but if you put it in the lower part of the windshield, below the direct line of sight, you shouldn't really notice it and it does make the numbers easier to read on a bright day

Glasses? Maybe sunglasses. The screen is much brighter then my old laptops display; games running look beautiful. The horizontal view-range of the display is quite wide, making great for get-togethers; awesome for anything from Split/Second to Super Smash Bros. Melee (on an Emulator). Actually, just to drive the point home, I tried playing Resident Evil 5 while wearing UV400 Protection sunglasses. You can still see almost perfectly on maximum brightness, but you'll feel blinded for a sec after taking them off.

As far as I know, yes. The screen protector goes on crystal clear so I dont think it would have any effect on the retina display.

The display can be seen in sunlight (not direct sunlight) but it should be mounted so it gets some shade from the glare.

Yes, adjustable brightness settings allow you to read the screen in bright sunlight. At the max setting, it is more than clear enough for easy reading.

I haven't had any difficulty using it in sunlight. I haven't taken it to snow or the beach yet though. However, since I haven't noticed an issue or even thought twice about it, I don't anticipate any problems. I haven't even turned up the LCD brightness all the way (no need)!

Yes, the screen is Retina. I am happy to send to any location of your choosing as long as the transaction is completed through the Amazon portal.

When I first turned mine on, I had a lighter 'frame' about 1" around the edge of the display that was visible on a black or dark screen. It eventually went away, but now there's a little bit more concentration of light along the left bottom edge but only slightly noticeable. I've seen the same kind of 'stage lights' effect with a retina iPad, so it's probably normal.

Yes Jack, the LCD screen works great even in bright sunlight as long as you are not wearing polarized sunglasses while using it. The 3 inch LCD screen is awesome!

It is visible. It has to be in order to be anti-glare. But I wouldn't say it ruins the HD aspects of the screen. Think of a very light window tint on a car window...can you tell it's there? Sure. Does it "ruin" your view of the outside? No.The change is so very minor that it really doesn't make what I consider a noticeable difference...until you go outside in bright sunlight and are actually able to see your screen.Any small degradation of the sharpness and vibrancy of the screen is much more than offset by the ability to actually see the phone in bright lighting conditions.

I did not see any noticable difference in bright sunlight except for the anti glare. It was less "mirror-like" but, it's not a miracle. It's not going to make an LCD be like a Kindle Paperwhite in the daylight. That's a whole different manufacturing process and not a anti-glare film.

Truth be told, I can't see a darned thing on the LCD screen in bright sunlight. I'm slapping myself in the head for forgetting to think about that - twice!
