I have the X1C. Little thing I noticed about the matte IPS screen (which I selected for outdoor usage much like you said) is that the screen goes black when I wear my sunglasses with a polarized lens, so if your sunglasses are polarized perhaps consider buying some non-polarized ones :-)

or buy polarized lenses with the opposite orientation. if you turn your head 90 degrees can you see the screen?

This led me to wonder: why isn't there a default orientation for things you look at and another for things you look through?

[inimino]

They would need to be the same... and if we can't get people to standardize on internet protocols, good luck with something that actually affects whether the product works well or not!

Monitors dont even come with the same orientation.
