    This might sound picky but Trioview pcs are $2500 ...

    Outdoors I like to wear polarized glasses. I have noticed that many computer screens are polarized to an angle of polarization is 45 deg more than horizontal. Polarized glasses are typically polarized horizontally to block glare from horizontal surfaces like water. This means that the glasses dim the screen, or even block it out, if the screen is not polarized vertically. Note if the glasses and screen are 45 deg out of alignment, you can still see the screen it is just dimmer than need be.

    Have you looked at Trioview screens with polarized glasses? If you rotate the glasses does the screen get dimmer or brighter?

    Some discussion of the problem (In case you think it is just me)
