Yes ,in almost any direct sunlight it is difficult to read , also it about 10 yards off on most of it's reading . If not more. Not a good product.

yeah the glare is bad. I'd check out what Tom said cause I did a quick search and found several listed for specific laptops/brands but not for this one. Hope you find one that works.

I believe that the ipod, from various reviews I've read, has been manufactured in such a way that this problem does not affect the screen. I just checked mine, and it seems quite viewable from all angles during both menu navigation and movie playback.

LCD TVs have polarized filters. Lasers emit only one polarization. Turn the pointer 90 degrees. and you'll be able to see it. Green, red, blue doesn't matter, it's all one polarization.

I had a problem with mine. The viewing tubes were misaligned, one look up one down, just a little. I have not been able to use them, I am returning them.

It might be personal preference but I have no issues with it. I am farsighted and I can read everything very well with my adjustable lenses. Clear and bright. Your font size could make a difference. But I am very pleased with this monitor so far.

Yes, I do believe it is difficult. Not impossible, but definitely more difficult than normal black-on-white screens. There isn't a lot of contrast, which means if light is low, it can be hard to read. And even more so if you're just trying to take a quick glance in the middle of a run or bike. I would definitely prefer white-on-black. Note that I don't think the red-on-black backlight is very good either. Same problem: very little contrast which makes it harder to read at a quick glance.

Like all modern monitors, this too has a coating for clarity. However most folks that ask me this are really asking if it has a polarized later so they can use it in sunlight or bright stage lights. Nope...but the screen shouldn't be cleaned with amonia based cleaners anyway.

I have and it works great. Just make sure that you wire it with the correct polarization or you could damage it.

I can read mine. I have a Tech Armor Maximum Screen Protector Anti-Glare for my Kindle. I then turn the brightness up as high as it will go. The screen will be a little dark, but you can see to read OK.

I downloaded the different readers--I feel the same way. Getting used to reading on the little screen, well, it is nice to read in the dark with the lights off. I am now trying to get used to reading with the scroll function (it goes too slow, and then, when I want to reread a passage, it still takes some thought on how to stop the scrolling).

I find the Tech Armor screen protector to be very clear & without any adverse effects to see & read material. It's as if no screen protector was installed. Maybe the difficulty is related to the amount of surface light with your iPad & you could adjust that in your Settings.

Technically it's easy. Contorting yourself to reach them or see the screen on your arm is the challenge. You have full access to the screen as there is no cover. It all depends on how you position it to begin with. If the screen is facing away from you, it's simply harder to see. But all the control work fine. I hope that makes sense!

I must have worded it wrong. Its the contrast. You have to hold it at the right angle to see the screen just right. Other than that minor thing I love it

HeidiI don't think I'm more advance with this unit than you are at this point!I have not tried the zoom feature and I can't help you there regarding whether the text stays on the screen.I was playing with the basics of the screen formatting last night.I did mess around with the settings and got the "boxing" to be reduced and the image enlarged. I believe this was under Setup\TV Settings, and then I selected the 4:3 PS that you described.This seems to work pretty well for me.

no you do not. Please be aware of the fact that despite being generally very pleased with the device, the screen is very difficult to read outdoor in sunny condition or while wearing polarized glasses. Not a huge negative but...

I find glare a problem as well. As one poster says, "the reflection is not a bother at all", well, that makes me wonder is there is still some reflection. I have a matte screen now and love it - no glare even with direct light. I'd love to upgrade my TV to 1080p but can't seem to find screens that are matte any more. So frustrating when manufactures do stuff like this. They should at least make it an option.
