How is the display in bright sunlight or other unfavorable situations?

You can adjust the brightness in a scale from 1 to 5. It's set to 3 most of the times. I used 5 one time when there was a lot of direct sunlight and I could see the screen without any problem. I hope my answer helps!

I think it is very good compared to the old Nikon I had. But the Nikon was 10 years older too.

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.

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

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

Yes, you can see the screen in bright sun light pretty good - just tried it for you today.

I do not use the window film with my unit and with the exception of direct sunlight shining on the unit, you can see the display with no issues. In fact, even in direct sunlight it is visible but not as bright.

The display is the same as any other LCD that has no backlight, it is ok to read from 6 feet or closer, but harder to discern from more than 10 feet, especially under low light conditions. The background appears to be more of a grey shade, no brightness to it. The cover-glass is also very reflective, so glare or reflections can block viewing.

I mainly using this screen to play game and read the webs. I can tell you that you will not have any problem to review spreadsheet and power point, amazing screen. The only thing that bother me is that the screen seems too bright even at the lower brightness. Maybe it's just me. One thing that I can tell you if you are looking for value and quality you will not regret buying this monitor + the premium screen warranty (warranty may be different in your country). Hope this will help you :)

The screen is not overly bright. It is good for playing games. I do not remember if there was a brightness control. I hope this description is good enough without resorting to a scale.

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.

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.

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.

I love my monitor the screen is bright enough yet pleasant to the eyes. You do not feel any eye strain. This is possibley due to the LED lites

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.

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.

Yes - I have found it depends on the color you choose. Overall I have found a few color combinations that allow me to see the display in daylight. I love this unit! It has everything and is well designed. My only complaint is the songs from radio are not displayed (title/artist)

Yes it is difficult to see in bright sunlite. But as Jamie W. answered, tilting the screen helps.
