I just got new polarized prescription sunglasses, and the visibility of my screen went down. If I **** my head just a little to the right, the screen appears completely black. Anyone else notice that with polarized lenses?

I'll have to try my old polarized ones again. I don't remember noticing this, until I got new ones.

Polarized lenses usually do this. If you have tint, it causes really weird effects on the paint of passing cars.

Actually, I just installed a ClearGuardXP film and it (appears) sharper than before. I like it so far.

I have the same issue, but it does not bother me. I don't look at the screen that much.

All it takes is just a simple adjustment of your head and you can see if fine.

Cheers,
