Polarized sunglasses vs dash displays

[FLSteve]

This may be an old subject, but it is the 1st time it has affected me.

Just went from a 22 Mountain Aire to a 25 New Aire and the first time I got in the New Aire with my polarized sunglasses on I realized that I could see the Freightliner dash display just fine ... but the Newmar GPS/Rear Camera display is completely dark.

Is there any solution to this other than getting new sunglasses that are not polarized?

Steve:

Screens have horizontal or vertical polarization.

Sunglasses are most commonly horizontal, and car manufacturers know this and generally make their screens horizontal.

Your solution is simple:

Turn your head to the side when you want to see the other screen

It might be easier on his neck if he just mounts the gps sideways…

Hence the reason I don't use Polarizers any longer when driving. Makes me mad, but dealing with LCD screens, window tints, and now even the lit billboards get all jacked up.

Toss in a prescription gradient with UV glare guard and anti-scratch coating...and you've got a painfully expensive lesson. Ask me how I know! argh
