Monitor Glare
« on: September 13, 2007, 02:35:41 PM »

I am currently using a lilliput 7" screen on my system.  The glare is outrageous.  The screen is rendered useless on a bright sunny day.  I didnt use a shade, but would that actually benefit enough?

I believe the monitor is 300cdm, should I look for something brighter?  The monitor is also a touchscreen which i dont use, maybe this could be causing even more reflection?

I have the Lilliput monitor, too. It's cheap, but worthless in sunlight, as you say. I've had a shade on mine, but it didn't do anything. You really need to create a kind of tunnel for that light to reach your eyes, so the shade has to be very long.

I once put a wall of cardboard between the monitor to the post so that the screen would be shaded. Unfortunately, this turned the sled into a sail with the slightest wind.

My advice is to make due with goofy solutions like that until you can justify getting a nice bright monitor.

was yours a touchscreen as well?  I have a feeling that's the culprit.

The good news is you may be able to remove the touch screen which should also improve the picture.

The bad news is the info is burried somewhere in this 15 page thread...

Mine isn't the touch screen, but I can't imagine yours being any worse. It's pretty bad.
