I have a Nitek Q and have a hard to impossible time seeing/reading the screen outdoors.
I realize that OLEDs (smartphones, cameras, etc.) are next to impossible to see in bright daylight but the I have a hard time seeing the Q screen even in the shade. Indoors the screen looks good and bright but outside it just washes out. I have put on an anti-reflective (AR) shield - NuShield DayVue, but it is not much better.
I am sure in the cave it will be fine, but in a pool at 10 ft (bright Florida day), in the shade along a shaded wall, screen bightness set at 10 (max), I need to have the screen inches from my face to read it. At arms length, the screen is completely washed out. I thought that maybe my aging eyes could be a problem, but my 18 year old son has the same visibilty issues with the Q as I do.
Does anyone else with the Nitek Q have these issues and are all the OLEDS this bad or are some better/worse than others?
I would hate to have to do a deco stop at 10' in bright OW and not be able to read the computer.
