What about those tinted bubble domes that snap on cycle helmets. i've seen those in stores for around $10.
How about the flip-up tinted plastic covers from the old floppy disc holders or the index card holders.
How about the individual plastic (tinted) Cd holders, just sitting over the screen.
I'm going to have to find a solution myself before June 17.
[This message has been edited by MrEd (edited 05-24-2006).]Unfortunately, none of them will do a thing other than make the screen less visible. The problem is the type of display being used is for indoor use only, and it's the same display being used for the vast majority of laptop computers. I just installed a new GPS/Fathometer on my sailboat that is daylight viewable and uses supertwist technology. When sunlight hits the screen the colors become more intense and vivid. This is not new technology, but keyboard manufacturers, cellular phone manufacturers and computer manufacturers fail to realize that some of the products will be used outdoors. It never ceases to amaze me how many commercials are on TV that show someone using their laptop while sitting at a park bench. Try it sometime and you'll quickly discover that you cannot see anything on the screen.
Good Luck,
Gary
