Can you easily read the display in bright light conditions?

Yes. However, the unit stopped working within 4 months of installation due to water intrusion.

I had no trouble reading the display but mine was mounted in the glove compartment. My problem is the unit died after less than a year of service.

The display has a light blue background with black letters and is very easy to read even in sun light. I use it in a convertible and when the top is down and with bright sunlight, the display is very easy to read.

I doubt it. Try wearing sunglasses that are not polarized...that helped me see the display better.

I had no problems seeing the display from different angles. Also there is the option to configure the intensity of it.

Yes, you can see the screen in bright sun light pretty good - just tried it for you today.

That depends a little on the individual, I guess, but I'm well past my prime, and I can read it. I would not call the screens "well lighted." The lettering is easy to read. I wouldn't mind if they were a little brighter. The background is green, as in the picture, and the lettering is black. My eyesight is not as good as it once was.

The display is not "backlit". The readings are bright red LCD on a black background.

Yes I did until I turned up the brightness on the display. Look in the manual, it will tell you how.

Yes, adjustable brightness settings allow you to read the screen in bright sunlight. At the max setting, it is more than clear enough for easy reading.

I can't recall ever being in a situation where bright sunlight made it difficult to see the display. I'm sure it could happen, but so far, I'm very happy with it.

No. The light does not work well and the display can barely be seen in natural daylight. I can not recommend this product and would not buy it again.

If you just walk past it, it is only a few seconds. If you stay in reach of the monitor it will stay on the bright setting until you move away. There is no way to change a setting on it.

No not at all. You will not able to make out that anything is on the display.

I love my monitor the screen is bright enough yet pleasant to the eyes. You do not feel any eye strain. This is possibley due to the LED lites

Not in a way that is like turning on a brighter light. After you turn the machine on, press the "Misc." button; using the Cursor, press the down arrow until "CONTRAST" shows on the display screen; then using the Value button, press either the - or + to change the contrast number anywhere from 1 (brightest) to 10 (darkest). Even with a value of 1, the display is still relatively dark due to the greenish background screen. If you still have the manual, the info is on pg. 37 under "Changing the display contrast".

You have adjustment settings in the menu to brighten the screen. Mine are fine.
