How is the screen in the daylight?

It's weak. I needed to get a hood attachment to shade it. Good at night though! LOLTomTom has very poor customer service, in my experience. My Rider 2 died in a download update and they would not help in any way

I found it pretty much useless in sunlight. Seemed inconceivable to me that the designer had ever used it on a bike during daylight. I gave it to a friend who had similar experience with it and he threw it out. I now use a Garmin 600 series which is unfortunately much more expensive, but it works well, day or night. I have had good experience with Tom Tom gps' in cars, but the motorcycle version is a waste of time and money at any price.

Hi it's just ok in bright sunlight, but same definition in bright sunlight as my Garmin Zumo 660. I've had two Rider 2's both have had problems when in it comes updating the maps. Their customer service puts you through a frustrating delaying process in the hope you will give up and go away. My first Rider 2 card reader failed and the second one the casing developed cracks and fell of my bike dangling by the safety strap. So I finally got the message and bought a Garmin. I hope this helps. Happy riding Andy

I didn't have problems seeing it in the daylight, but it I would have been better off without sometimes. My riding buddy's decided to rename it "dumb dumb" As stated the customer service was horrible and I had to contact the BBB to get it fixed under warranty. I sold it as sold it as soon as I got it fixed. Replaced with a garmin and never any problems. Bottom line - don't buy one

It's a little bit more difficult to see in bright light, but it's not that noticeable. I think the screen is still visible and clear.

Yes - I have found it depends on the color you choose. Overall I have found a few color combinations that allow me to see the display in daylight. I love this unit! It has everything and is well designed. My only complaint is the songs from radio are not displayed (title/artist)

The screen is white paper which does let some light through. It would screen the sun out but I'd be worried that it would warp very quickly. Mine was not at all in the sun and it warped anyway.

I've only had the camera since the beginning of december, so I haven't used it in a lot if sunlight. However, the shots that I did take outside, I was definitely able to see the screen. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

The screen is matte. Mine sits next to a bright window, I've never noticed any glare or reflection. It's like a bottomless pit for any light it didn't emit.

no glare, light adjustable, sure, but don't expect the same comfort you would have reading a paper book or e-ink reader (ie black on white) on the beach. I'm always questioning the use of these modern color screens retina or else under the outdoor sun for long periods of time. They're at their best indoor where light is either artificial or dimmed

With a fresh battery, it's fine in normal daylight. Switching colors to contrast with the background is helpful in bright ambient light.

I have had the TV for a while now and no problems with glare unless in direct sunlight.

There is some glare during the day, but this is easily resolved, as others have pointed out, with some blinds. I would agree that the quality in the picture is well worth any minimal glare. You'll be glad you bought this tv!

You can see the screen in the sun. The privacy protector doesn't work if the brightness is high. Hope this is helpful.

yes the screen is gloosy............ problem? depends on what is in the background or if you want to use it in the sun.

Unfortunately yes. On a sunny day, my living room floods with sunlight and tough to see screen clearly with reflections. At night, it is much better with ambient lamps for lighting.

Sometimes, but there is a setting called "Sunny weather" on the LCD that makes it much better. It makes the color look a little off (on the screen, not in the actual images), but for sunny days, it's very effective.
