How readable is the screen in sunlight?

Couldn't say. Mine is on a desk where that's not an issue. But it will adjust to any degree, so that might help.

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.

There is less of a glare. The laptop I installed this on was in an office with windows, so very bright, but not so much with direct sunlight. When the screen is tilted at the right angle this product works great. There are no complaints.

Very easy - it's good in pretty much any conditions. Definitely the best screen I have ever used in bright sunlight.

Hi Sadie,I don't think it makes much difference reading outside in direct sunlight. You will still get some reflections from your surroundings.I have bought four iVisor for myself and grandchildren iPads primarily to protect the screen from scratches and spills.Jack

Direct sun light does fine. It is when it comes in at an angle that the screen becomes hard to read

It has a good display. I think it will be fine in bright sunlight, BUT you must aim it at your face. The best thing is it has a big display whick makes things a lot easier. -Migs

Hi Jack, Even when the sun is high and glaring directly on my LCD screen, I still can see my subject! Buy it. You'll love it.

yes the screen is gloosy............ problem? depends on what is in the background or if you want to use it in the sun.

Patti,Sunlight is filtered through which allows lighting during the day. No sun screen is needed. Sincerely,Exclusive Home and Furniture Inc

You can see the screen in the sun. The privacy protector doesn't work if the brightness is high. Hope this is helpful.

The screen is white paper which does let some light through. It would screen the sun out but I'd be worried that it would warp very quickly. Mine was not at all in the sun and it warped anyway.

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.

Shade it from sun light with your hand and you will have no problem reading it. Very easy to see.

The screen is definitely glossy and has a reflective surface. It is not a matte screen (like the Kindle Paperwhite--for example--has) and I can see reflections clearly in it. However, the display is sharp and readable to me. On average, I spend 3 or 4 hours a day looking at the screen and the reflectiveness does not bother me.

I did not have a problem with mine. If you are not in direct sunlight it should be easily readable.

It is rated at 350 nits, but as a matter of opinion I haven't seen an LCD I liked the performance of in direct sunlight and this display doesn't cross that threshold.

It is a little glossy but the screen is easy to see and read. I haven't had it outside in daylight so not sure what it is like there. I like it better than the screen the compaq came with , which was broken due to carelessness.I am happy with it,,, it is quite bright.very distinct images.
