laptop anti glare screens
« on: December 26, 2016, 05:54:33 PM »
Has anyone had any experience with these? Without a trailer or cave to retreat into using a laptop at El Mirage is very difficult.

I've resorted to staying in the shade to be able to view my laptop screen.    As in under a pop-up tent, or inside a trailer.    I've also made up cardboard and duct tape "hoods" when truly desperate.     A game assistant with an umbrella works too, although I've never had one of Tony's caliber . . . .    (I guess that's why LSR isn't F1 . . . . . .)

I just have not found an anti-glare screen that stands up to full sun . . . . . .    Not sure there is one.

The body is 24 inches, when it was a streamliner we would lift it in the back door of the school bus. As a lakester the wheels are too wide to fit the back door of a school bus and we are too old to lift it!

This is why military laptops and other screen displays are so expensive- they must be "sunlight readable". $$$$$$$$$$$

With all the space in the Midget, I just set it on top of the fire bottles on the passenger floor.
