Is glare an issue on infotainment screen?

[Bj517]

No glare issues whatsoever for me. My windows/tint are stock and I don't have any kind of screen protector or film installed. Apparently the lariat's screen may be brighter overall than other trims though, so that may help

As always YMMV, but have found choosing one of the built-in options for changing the background of the screen helps in making the data being displayed crisper.

Offhand forget which one I ended up using, however there are only about 3 or 4 choices besides the default so fiddling with that setting to check them out isn't at all time consuming.

I bought the Panda Motorworks screen protector and so far am not impressed. It will help with fingerprints but it just introduces a different kind of glare. Without it I could see reflections but could still read the screen; with it there is a matte haze over the screen that makes it difficult to read. By the way, if you do buy one, be aware that the protector is kiss cut, you can’t see it easily and I thought the protector was oversized and cut it down - when I peeled it off I discovered the die cut lines. I made it work, but be forewarned.

If I understand correctly, the protector is the correct size without any modifications?

The recent infotainment screen protector thread caused me to think of a possible glare issue.

I've seen in a few reviews (of the many I've read) where the it was mentioned the screen fades in bright sunlight due to being completely horizontal.

I test drove an XLT on a cloudy, rainy day prior to ordering mine so was unable to see any potential glare issue.

So, for anyone who has received their Mav:
- Is glare an issue on sunny days?
- If so, has anyone found a screen protector that reduces the glare issue?

I guess the waiting period for my Hybrid is beginning to get to me. This is a monor issue (if it exists) but just wondering.

Yes, it is an issue on sunny days. Hard to see with the glare on it. I was wondering if I were the only one that was having this problem.

Given the angle of the screen, I'm surprised by the glare comments.

If I could ever get mine to see for myself.....

I placed this on my screen and have been happy with the results. I don't have much to compare to, because I installed it the day I got my truck. That said, I funny notice fingerprints.

Also, it took me a little to figure this out, but the screen brightness is linked to the dial brightness, so if you adjust the dial brightness down, the screen goes with it.

No glare issues in sunny California. As others have noted, the lariat screens may have a hand in that, plus tint all around.

I have the same one. No complaints.

Not sure because I botched it.

Its a crappy quality screen. its dull and has low contrast. I would have gladly paid another $100 for a better panel. YOU HEAR ME FORD??

hopefully the screen from another trim level can be a direct replacement - or maybe someone can suggest to China friends that there is a market for a better quality aftermarket screen panel.

Yes. Installed mine without modifications.

Not for me. I have had zero problems with glare on this screen unlike my wife's 18 Nissan Rogue which is nothing but glare. I believe that having the screen mounted vertically instead of an angle makes all the difference.

Agreed. At first I thought the vertical profile was odd, but that's exactly it, little/no glare. My Pilot is on a ~20 or so degree angle, and in certain conditions it's unreadable.

I don't really have any issues with glare. Fingerprints are somewhat visible, but even that isn't too bad. I do have the 2 front windows tinted to match the rear though

Same here with the tint on the two front windows and no noticeable glare.

I am going to install a glass screen protector to it. It's going to make it shiny. I have no glare problem with it now, if it ends up with a bit of glare, I will make a glare shield and attach it to the frame around the screen. Unless somebody comes up with that first and I can just buy it off amazon or evilbay.
