I once modified a laptop by removing the backlighting from the screen.
That made it possible to read the screen by using the sun as a backlight
source. Maybe something similar can be done to the Freerunner?
A laptop display is hinged, the FR display is not.

Some ThinkPad X200 Tablets have similar AFFS+ screens of the same
manufacturer if you want to see it in action.
my X200 Tablet is unviewable in sun. standard CFFL backlight. i guess the LED

If you're looking for _the perfect_ LCD for this job, have a look on
the Boe Hydis HVT43WV1.
4.3 WVGA with probably the best sunlight-readability you can get on a

It looks good on paper, but IIRC the Glamo won't drive more
the Neo at home.

Definitely. This doesn't affect anything, right, other than being more

You don't think it would be a little too big Neo
