Has anyone figured this out yet? I get sick of doing the 45 degree to see with polarized and often just lift them to see the Garmin 93sv screens.

Military pilots don’t wear polarize lens because all the instruments and windscreens are polarized. I learned that from my son, he was a loadmaster in the Air Force.

I think that’s the problem with the electronics. Those are already polarized, and when we wear polarized sunglasses, we somehow lose the viewing angle.

I’ve mounted mine directly in front of me and I bought an antiglare screen protector because when I looked at it, all I saw was myself in the reflection the screen There’s a thread on the hull truth about the same issue here’s the link

It’s not that polarize and polarize won’t work together it’s the direction

I have to tilt one way for the gps the other way for ff

Not positive but a couple years ago a buddy told me they developed a screen that has proper direction so no tilting. Have not seen this yet thou

I did read something about the directions the light is being bent ..

I guess if you have a pair of the glasses that bends light in the same direction. Your golden.

My BIL is electronics geek and trained in Navy. He also said it's all about bending light for glasses. And that military utility specially designed displays with monotone green characters against black backgrounds.

So tilting head continues......
