"Bad" CAI302 Display

The only practical answer is to use non-polarising sunglasses; brown tint
is good for cloud definition. A reddish tint is even better, but at the
expense of false colour which can cause problems when identifying crop
types for the field selected, and in reading paper charts.

Dan, you can rotate your glasses 90 degrees, if the display
becomes visable, it is the glass not the LCD on the 302.

I found it practical to punch holes in my polarized clip-ons. That
eliminated the polarization over the area of the panel, and also the
tinting: no LCD problems, no paper chart problems (not that I look at a
chart very often). It does not solve the tinting problem for crops,
because I'm using bifocal glasses, and the holes are over the bifocal part.

I'd probably use non-polarized clip-ons if I could find them. If you
don't need distant vision correction, there are polarized "sunreaders"
available that have non-polarized, non (or lightly)-tinted inserts with
correction for reading.

These look like the inserts are tinted, unlike the ones I have. Since
the inserts aren't polarized, looking at LCDs isn't a problem.
