Guys and gals,

There are daylight viewable LCD displays availanble to 21 inches, some of which get brighter when in direct sunlight. They're not cheap, but the prices are currently half what they were just 2 years ago. Additionally, I've been hearing rumors that one or more of the computer manufacturers will be coming out with a sunlight viewable laptop in the next few months, one that retails for less the $1,000. Hopefully, keyboard manufacturs will follow suit and begin producing keyboard's with similar LCD sunlight viewable displays. I turned down several outdoor jobs this summer because of this problem.

Cheers,

Gary
