Help using a TrueLife screen outdoors....

I don't often use my laptop oudoors, and can barely see the screen when I do. Is there a hood or cover that would improve this?

 

Yes you too can look like a tool!

 

and if you are going to do something like that to your computer you should finish the look off by wearing something like this on yourself...

 

LMAO thats what makes this forum so great, the comedy

 

most consumer level laptops will be hard to use outdoors, just the nature of the beast, checkout this review, but also note it starts around 3 grand

I'm having a hard time understanding why it matters if you "don't often use [it] outdoors"

 

cause sometimes he does?...and if he could see what he was doing he might do it more often?......just a shot in the dark

 

Well if it was dark outside then he probably wouldn't need a hood and one of them darth vader suits...

 

This is officially the least helpful thread on NBR!!!

 

But one of the funniest!

 

Thanks, I didn't think it was that difficult a question. I wasn't sure if there was an easy solution. I'd take the Darth Vadar approach but I'm more like the Wookie!

 

Okay Chewie, better clean out those vents and the keyboard more often, and I thought the cats shedding was bad, but back to the topic, outdoors during daylight you either need to use the hood approach, or get one with a super bright screen, which at the moment is really expensive option, standard lcd's dont perform well with the sun, even when its overcast, the problem is even worse with glossy screens, as everything get reflected back
