Funny you mention the daylight thing. Yes, the screen is very visible in sunlight but.. so is the physical makeup of the screen. held at just the right angle I see little quarter inch square lines. I attribute that to color / image saturation or lack there of. pursuit of the battery saving maybe? It becomes distracting because I find myself trying to find just that "right" angle. I'm obviously easily entertained. Glad to hear you have a rational reasons not just something someone said.
