Well, short of altering the screen/image/text colours or increasing the backlight and or contrast levels (I mean higher than SW adjust currently permits, ie a brighter actual backlight and altering the colours used in the software which probably requires some hex editing I'd guess) is to :- A) Make a hood the cuts off external light from above and sides to fit around the front/sides, that will help prevent daylight glare from nulling the much lower screen brightness. B) Difference in type of eyewear optics - I used to, until my light sensitivity got really back, use photo chromatic lenses such as you use on my RX's.? But when it came to having to read displays and really see sharply without glare in strong light (now, anything brighter than a street light or halogen/tungsten emissions), I had to start using proper fixed Polaroid type lenses.? In fact, uncorrected, any light brighter than a soft dispersed LED light is painfully harsh for me. I use 80% smoke grey, which seriously reduces light levels, but the smoke grey tiny makes for a high contrast view without notably affecting colour perception.? So whilst you may not need 80% reduction, certainly any low-medium smoke-grey Polaroid type lenses or clip-on will help particularly with simple anti-glare coating lenses.? 90% would be better for me, but 80% deals with the worst and still allows for low light vision clearly. Now if you're lucky, assuming you have a vision defect, if you're myopic (short-sighted) and you view from the right distance, a simple pair of reading glasses with the right optical offset and clip on Polaroid smoke Grey's will probably solve the problem. You can buy smoke grey screen protector polarised film which would help, but keep in mind you'll been bugger all if there's too much light and your glasses are dipped (dark) as you'll effectively be viewing through two polarised layers, so it's either polarised lenses or polarised screen protector film being easy answers but not both in use at once. So try making up a card hood and see if that is sufficient first, as if your eyewear is Rx, it's clearly more expensive to get polarised replacement lenses especially not very cost effective unless they get a lot of use.? But if you try any filtering, or try color modding, remember to use colour combos with maximum contrast. On Sun, 26 Mar 2023, 21:55 Bob Dianetti, <kt8dx@...> wrote:
