Outdoors Display: Does the LCD do well on bright days in the sunlight?
236494
Used mine in Costa Rica... bright sunlight and all. No problems. I took great pictures with it. So many folks onmy tour were impressed with the camera and the shots I could take that several went out and bought one. I also love the fact that I went almost all day, picture after picture on one set of batteries. I used rechargables. I have two sets... camera has brightness all the way up, lots of macro/telephoto use. In all, batteries are fine, and the display is awesome, even in bright light.

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!

This is a great screen. I use it strictly for outdoors due to it capabilities to do rear projection. It also can do front projection. What kind of projector does he have? LCD OR DLP? Lumens dictate the brightness of the projector. The brighter the better i say... but regardless of the projector it is a good screen for indoor and outdoor. I believe this same company makes a square one now that looks really good... lwt mw know if you have any other questions

The actual display area is not glossy and does not have a mirror-like finish, so glare is not as bad as it would be on, say, an old style CRT. However, if you have a lot of light behind you, it can show on parts of the display that are dark, though it is much less noticeable on bright areas. Overall I'd say it does very well at dealing with glare.

The unit we have is bright and crisp. I am happy with the screen, so I'm thinking you may have a faulty screen.

I have a large protable screen we use when camping (and in our back yard) and the picture is great at night time. This unit dose not work well at all during the day outside but at nighttime it is GREAT. Please note that the picture quality is only as good as the movie you are playing. We use a laptop to play our movies and use a Bluetooth speaker for sound. We put the speaker below our screen. It's a ton of fun!

I haven't had that problem. The display is customizable so that you can make the numbers large if you need it. The screen isn't bright, but I haven't had a problem while running.

Depends how "strong" the sunlight . . . . I have used mine with direct sun on the LCD and it is clearly visible by adjusting the LCD brightness to +5 (use Q menu button then icon on bottom right for screen brightness, adjustable -5 to +5). Having said that I am not sure that would still be the case under mid-day lighting close to the Equator, I was shooting in the UK early morning in May.

The screen is 100% clear on the iPhone. It does, however, have a bluish tinge when exposed to the sun. This is noticeable to me when the screen is not activated, but so long as the screen is on, there doesn't appear to be distortion of the color. Bright sun makes most LCD screens more difficult to read, but I haven't noticed any changes in readability in bright conditions compared to my display prior to using this screen protector.

Yes. In bright sunlight I like to fold in the color screen and look through the viewfinder.

You can definitely see the display in direct sunlight, check emails and Facebook and so on, as long as the brightness turned up. You have better viewing in the shade, of course. And I wouldn't want to sit and read a book in direct sunlight, even with the Moshi protector. The sun will overpower your display no matter what matte screen cover you have on. It's not the reflectivity that is the problem. It's the sheer brightness of the sun compared with the weaker backlight of the ipad that makes it difficult.

I haven't tried it in bright sunlight, yet. Good question though, as I hadn't thought about the lack of a normal viewfinder. Might hold on to my old camera just in case, it took great daytime shots but was poor in low light situations.

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.

I think you will be pleased with the results from this screen with your setup. I've been very impressed with mine. It works very well in low light and decent quality in medium light.

As you know, the LCD screen is stationary and lousy in the sun. However, Amazon does sell a "shade" that can be attached and works halfway decently.

There is no way to make the display brighter. I have problems seeing it during the day. In fact I can't even tell it's on until it makes a noise. The display works best at night while you just have to listen to the different sounds during the day.

This is a problem with all LCD screens in full sun. The only thing that could helps is a visor.
