Are some display colors / reverse video options easy/easier to see in bright sunlight? How hard is the one with black background to see in sunlight?

Some say it is hard. I find it easy to see in all types of lighting. The backlight works well in dim or dark places. I was in regular daylight today and it was easy to see. Maybe if it was direct sunlight like a bright sunny day with the sun directly on it you may have trouble, but I had plenty of sun in NH today and had no problems.

Actually, after wearing it for a couple of days, I was wrong. It shows up excellent in direct sun. In lower light, you need to adjust the aspect, but in direct sun it almost glows.

It's not great, I was worried at first, but if you tilt it up as you normally would to read a watch, it shows up adequately. If you glance down at your watch along your side, it can be difficult to read, but if you make the standard watch reading motion, you can see it fine. I would probably not get the reverse display again, but it is working fine for me.

I have the black one. It is pretty easy to see for me,but being that your screen name is biker Bill I'm not sure for your scenario being in direct sun light. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful I can say it's a pretty good watch the barometer is off alittle bit but you can compensate for the error the tempt is way off until you take the watch off Good luck be safe shotot straight

Press Home, scroll left, then down to Picture. These settings produce the best picture for my tastes. I feel the store settings produce to much glare and may reduce the life of the set.Back Light - 7Picture - 64Brightness - 52Color - 50Hue - 0Color temp - neutral

Sometimes, but there is a setting called "Sunny weather" on the LCD that makes it much better. It makes the color look a little off (on the screen, not in the actual images), but for sunny days, it's very effective.

I haven't had any difficulty using it in sunlight. I haven't taken it to snow or the beach yet though. However, since I haven't noticed an issue or even thought twice about it, I don't anticipate any problems. I haven't even turned up the LCD brightness all the way (no need)!

There is no way to make the display brighter. I have problems seeing it during the day. In fact I can't even tell it's on until it makes a noise. The display works best at night while you just have to listen to the different sounds during the day.

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

I think you will be pleased with the results from this screen with your setup. I've been very impressed with mine. It works very well in low light and decent quality in medium light.

I have the 71F and once you turn it on the glare is really not an issue. I would much rather have the 25,000:1 contrast!

Look at the screen or wall you'll be projecting onto, under the expected lighting conditions. Does it look white and bright? That's exactly how dark the darkest blacks are going to be. In other words, yes, even a very expensive, very bright projector will give you a washed out image in full daylight. That may be borderline acceptable for a business presentation, but definitely not for watching movies. The best use for this projector would be for backyard/poolside/campground nighttime showings, where the portability and easy setup are paramount and lighting conditions not an issue. If you need a projector for laptop presentations, get a more recent, compact model designed specifically for this purpose (small size, high lumen, high resolution)

I just got the one that alternates colors, I LOVE IT! Eitherway all the colors show up really well in the dark, but blue/turquise stand out the most for brightness levels.

Yes, The LED24G45RQD also has the horrible viewing angle problem, so if you are 15% off directly viewing it, images will look like negative pictures and will be purple and black. If you are looking at it straight on, which is harder with a smaller screen it is fine.

The screen is LCD matrix just like any other monitor or TV. Back light is LED. LED is more reliable than CFL tube(s) used in older designs.

I don't think it's possible. If there is, i cant find it. I've read that others are also bothered by the brightness of the display. Try a piece of tinted film, I think you can get some pretty inexpensively at a craft store.

Nominally the display is in color, but from my limited experience so far, the lighting conditions where you'd be tempted to use the camera and the camera's source of illumination may not allow you to see color accurately.

Anyone got any other calibration settings. Ryans settings are great but I find the colors to be a little bit dead, also Netflix on PS3 does not look the best even on X-High compared to my 720p LG. Nvm problem solved they look nice its just some HD streams look worse then others. Also presume your not suppose to be standing right next to the TV while watching :o.I raised the color settings and lowered the black level to make the picture have more color.Thanks Ryan!
