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.

I have the same problem with my LX-5000.

I've tried 3 pairs of polarized glasses with the same result. But I
recently got a pair of non-polarized sunglasses just for flying. Life is
better...

Although I have not had the problem with instruments I have had it with PDAs
in the cockpit. Personally I don't think that polarised sunglasses are the
things to use when flying because of the possibility of seeing the stress
lines and so on in the canopy and the possibility of interference with LCD
displays. I much prefer tinted specs for this reason.
