Default Polarized Instrument Display

Larry,
Thanks for your response. I have another pair of polarized prescription glasses and the same thing occurs, namely I can't see the screen unless I turn my head and look at it obliquely. Maybe my next step should be to look at a few other LX5000 display screens with my glasses and see if there is a difference. Thanks again.

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.
