Hello. I've had the K2 for a couple of months and while I love the functionality, I'm driven insane by one issue. 

The K2 screen glare in direct sunlight makes reading screen impossible. I've tried in both light and dark display modes and at various backlight intensities. It is incredibly frustrating, and it borders on making the unit unusable. 

Has anyone experienced this and managed to solve it? If it does not have an easy fix, I may have to sell my K2 and go back to a unit that I know I can read in sunlight.

Thank you, everyone.

  Cant say I've experienced any issues with K1 or K2, but why don't you try an anti glare film?

  I would like to, but, unbelievably, protectionfilms24 do not ship to the US.

  I’ve mounted the Karoo not completely flat but a little upwards so I don’t have this problem anymore.
