Default Polarized Instrument Display

Rick,



You either have defective polarization on your glasses or the LX has
incorrect polarization on the display. You need to determine which is
your problem child. Don't be too sure that one is the culprit over the
other. Some soaring instrument manufacturers have had problems with
some of their units when the subassembly manufacturer made them with the
wrong polarization. All of your LCD instruments should have similar
polarization.



Try other polarized sunglasses and see if that fixes it. With
everything with the correct polarization, you should be able to see the
LCD screens with your head oriented to the normalized position.



Regards,



Larry

I recently bought some new polarized prescription glasses and have found
that when I look directly at the display screen on my LX5000, I can't see
anything. I can see it better if I turn my head and look obliquely at it
(not really practical). I suspect the screen has a polarization on the
surface and somehow it is reacting with the polarization on my glasses.

Does any one know of some kind of fix for the LX5000 screen for this
situation? I really don't want to change glasses.
