Has anyone had a problem with seeing the display in bright sunlight?

Yes I did until I turned up the brightness on the display. Look in the manual, it will tell you how.

I have no trouble seeing the display in the daylight. I put one of these on my generator and my sons Honda 90 about 6 years ago and still going strong.

I just took mine outside on a very bright day, and the numbers are still very visible. I know the phenomenon you are asking about, I've seen it on digital watches in the past. That does not happen with this unit's display. Hope that helps! It's a good little unit, I'm very happy with it....

Hi Ron, in the FL sunshine I see it just fine. When setting it up you have several display colors to choose from so some may be better than others. I use one of the blues and it is perfect. Thanks

It is very bright, I find. Both in dark environs and well lit spaces I can see the display clearly. My old scales are not nearly this visible.

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.

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.

I didn't have that problem but there was a glitch in mine which made my screen flicker. I believe that it's a manufacturing issue. If you can't get it to work, is send it back and ask for another one

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.

I have never had any trouble reading the screen in any lighting , day or night. I wear self darkening glasses and the screen is always big and bold. Got 4800 miles on it at this time.

I have more of a backlight issue when viewed from off angle. There is a white fuzzy band of excess brightness on the right 1/8 of screen, that washes out the color. is this similar to your set?

Yes, the display is lit. I just tried it in a closet, and I could read it fine.

I'm getting a lot more than the other answers so far. I keep the display a couple ticks below maximum brightness most of the time, which helps, but I get a good eight hours.

No..the display will be on the screen all the time.....it will become brighter when the unit is turned on.....
