My plan was to add the 7 to my array of GPS devices, mostly to get traffic info. bought a windshield mount intended for landscape use, which is how I want to use it. Put it in the mount, fired up Maps and started to drive away and the screen was suddenly off... hit the button, but nothing... hit the button again and it came back on. Started to leave again and screen went off again (way sooner than it is set to).
Pulled over, took off my sunglasses and instantly it was back on.... hmmm. Apparently, something that is not mentioned in any review or specification that I saw... the friggin' screen is POLARIZED! As are all my sunglasses.
If you are planning to use in landscape mode in the sun, be prepared to not be able to wear polarized sunglasses.
I still am really liking my new 7, but not luvin' it as much as I planned on.
I think that's the case with polarized glasses and all LCD screens isn't it?

Exactly. This is a notorious problem with any LCD screen. My Nook Color gets blacked out in portrait and my Nexus 7 gets blacked out in landscape. It's a problem that's common and not Google's or Asus's fault. You'll just have to deal with it. Most Navigation apps I found use portrait by default anyway.

It's your sunglasses, not the nexus 7. Get some cheaper sunglasses .
Well, you may try portrait mode or just use a navi app with voice navigation.
It seems not only for Nexus 7's LCD, a lot of other LCDs are encountering the same problem with sunglasses.
This is the case with all LCD screens and polarized sunglasses. Had a pilot new to an aircraft with LCD screens complain that the screens were broken. When I looked everything was perfect. I looked at him to see if he was trying to be funny, then realized that he still had his sunglasses on. I asked if they were polarized then told him to take them off a second. Sure enough, problem solved.

Yes I noticed that! No big deal for me though, thankfully. I know for a fact it didn't happen on my Transformer Prime or Wildfire S. In fact, I've never noticed it with any of my tablets or phones. Weird though how it's only landscape mode

No, not weird at all. Think about what a polarizing lens does - it's like a million microscopic parallel lines running one direction. When you have 2 lenses (screen and sunglasses), rotating one or the other so the lines are perpendicular to each other causes the image to black out. If the lines are all running in the same direction, there's no interference.

It does if you are planning on using during the day and wear polarized sunglasses and want to use in landscape mode. I didn't want to try to put all that in title.
When I get my Proclip holder when they come out, I will be able to use in portrait. The generic cheapee holder I got to use in meantime is only usable in landscape.

I never buy polarized sunglasses. They are so annoying, especially if you rid motorcycles and use a full face helmet. Even in a car, the dash is plastic and in some cars you get a rainbow effect. If you buy decent sunglasses, you don't need them to be polarized. I use Sergenti drivers and they are the best for me.

I only wear polarized sunglasses when protecting my eyes from water glare. Many cars have ploarized windows that look blotchy when wearing Polarized sunglasses. I never wear them when riding my motorcycle because they can block puddles of water and pot holes from being seen in the road. I can't see the radio display in the car when wearing them either.
Get another pair of glasses with good coatings.

Some interesting comments and info generated in here.
I saw this brought up in this forum previously and in other forums, with polarized glasses being an issue. I wear a pair of polarized glasses while driving almost every day. I also use the nexus 7 almost exclusively in my car, and its always locked in landscape mode. I haven't had any issues with being able to use it or seeing the screen in any app. Everything seems to display fine for me?

I am skeptical that your sunglasses are actually polarized...
It's not that the screen is polarized exactly. All LCD screens just use a filter that allows light to go through in one direction. I'm pretty sure that's how you create black on a LCD, it will shift and no light escapes. The back light of an LCD is always on.
You could try turning the Nexus 7 upside down to what direction you had it. That will probably let you see the screen. It may be a little darker than normal though. I like polarized sunglasses for day driving because it stops glare so well and the glare kills my eyes. I never had problems not seeing potholes or puddles though...

Inside, this screen looks great. For the price, it can't be beat. But I think having this amazing SLCD2 on my One XL has spoiled me because as soon as I walked out of the house with my N7, I was immediately disappointed with the screen. It's not even that sunny out and this thing is dim as hell. Can barely see it. Oh well. I am still absolutely amazed with this thing so I will call this a minor complaint but something I am more than happy to deal with. Anybody else a little disappointed with the display in this regard?

Gotta try this when I get my Nexus 7. Actually, would this not work on the Galaxy Nexus as well?
The screen is good, no doubt about it. But compared to my iPad 3 and my SGS3, it obviously doesn't compare. I knew that would be the case when I bought it, so I'm not bothered, it's easily good enough and better than anything in this price range.

I thought I recall the iPad screen to not be that great in sunlight as well. That said, I'm not sure I've ever seen a tablet that is worth a damn in the sunlight with the exception of the b/w nook readers.
This is the difference between a tablet and a dedicated b&w e-reader. It's a tradeoff, but I've never really had a need for a tablet outside... but the sunglasses trick is intriguing.

In the sunlight department I couldn't comment, I live in England and a sunny day has been few and far between since I got my iPad.
IPAD?
Can't comment based on driect experience with the iPad and the N7, but it's worth checking out on the apple forums that this is a very common complaint for their tabs. Also, iPad 3 is 4X more expensive, I would hope for te money it would perform better!
These devices are all pretty early in developement (relatively speaking), my B/W ereader "ink" fades horribly in direct sunlight. Still like the device. And as far as polarized glasses....I have a pair and have found it is impossible to wear these glasses and try to read anything on any devices I have owned.

lol, all LCD's should look like that, LCD screens comes with a polarized film on top to refract the lights passed through the liquid crystals.
Your glasses lens are not "flat", which will make the polarized light passed through the film then to your glasses look uneven, as they pass in at different distance (outer edge of your glasses will have a greater distance to the screen than the center of the lens)
Depends on different manufacture of the LCD's calibration, you will see different colors - probably closest to a person's vision who is high on drugs.
Try looking at many other cars' windows, especially the rear window, you will see a dot like pattern when you use polarized glasses

Aren't you a genius, of course you wouldn't it was AMOLED not LCD.
I think things like this are common with LCD screens. I haven't tried it on my new N4, but my old iPhone's screen would go dark if I turned it sideways to landscape. It was very annoying when trying to drive in my car.

AMOLED emits lights on each pixels already, no polarization layer is needed - also one of the reason why AMOLED's are thinner, since they are diodes, not liquid crystals, does not require glass layer to trap the "liquid", hence why they can be made in thinner profile and some are flexible.
Think about AMOLED's are like a tiny piece of board with lots of tiny LED's, you don't see LED's in a different funny colour when you use polarized glasses. (Some AMOLED's might appear different probably due to polarized glass on top to improve the glass' own transparency or glare issue - only theory, haven't seen it happen)
LCD's needs a filter to bend out the lights unnecessary, but AMOLED's just are composed of lots of little light bulbs if you will, this process is eliminated.
AMOLED's has very vibrant colours as the contrast is impressive, but it has a shorter life span. First gen Galaxy S' are already seeing ghosting of keyboards and the notification bar imprinted in the screen, my older Acer Liquid E's LCD screen still look as sharp as the first day minus the scratches of course.
Bring a set of 3D glasses from the theaters, take the lens out and stack them together in different order/sides and see cool effects such as turning the angles will allow the amount of lights pass through (adjustable sun glasses anyone?)
Plus and minuses on each side, who do you choose! Let me know your flavor

His description was "coffee stains" I don't see anything that fits that when I look at any of my LCD's with polarized glasses. Not on my: TV, phone, computer screen or tablet.
Has anyone noticed that the digitizer (or what I think is the digitizer) in the Nexus 7 is actually visible? I noticed this yesterday when I was at a Christmas party and the room was brightly lit. I was looking at the screen while it was off, and noticed a grid of small dots covering the entire screen. I checked on my phone (Nexus S 4G) and no such grid was visible. I thought the digitizer was only visible (and even then, only sometimes) on resistive touch screens. Hmm...
i tried to replicate it and couldnt, maybe the light wasnt bright enough. Would be intreresting tho
this is true of a HUGE number of phones. It has a lot to do with the digitizer technology used as well as how close the digi is to the lcd and the light in the room and several other minor factors. look at an HD2 and youll see it too.
I can see the digitiser on my HOX too. I've not noticed it so much on my other devices. Maybe its more obvious when the glass is bonded to the screen as it is in both of these? How about the newer devices with the touch layer integrated with the screen? It's certainly not an issue in use for me thorough (the fact that the screen gets so sticky with use on my n7 is fairly annoying though. Sector Strike is much easier on the HOX, the oleophobic coating must be pretty effective, even if the screen still looks greasy after use)
Yeah its common. My inspire has it as well. Think its called the pentile matrix.

Slightly confused here, but it seems like you got the older stock, Gizmoe?
Only got mine today, and I can see the digitizer very easily, in the right conditions. I did get mine from ebay though (BNIB), so who knows :/
Is there any other way to find out what model we have?
Those little dots are actually connected by really thin lines forming an offset square pattern (you can actually see it in the right conditions), that's what a digitizer uses to register input. Every capacitive display i've seen has that. It's more visible if you look at a slight angle from the side of the screen with the light shining from the opposite direction.
The dots are more visible because they reflect more light, but in really bright light you can see the lines also.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've noticed a pattern on every single capacitive device I've used. Palm pixi, GS3, NS4G, N7, square iPod nano, iPod Touch and iPhone all have had it. So I'm pretty sure it there on every single screen you just have to get the right angle of the screen with the light for it to be visible.

Totally unnecessary IMO. Screen protectors caused digitizer performance issues on the tf700.

I'm just wondering if any screen protector could make our screens more matt-like.
TF701 screen is way too reflective, IMO. While browsing/gaming/facebooking is OK, movie watching is a pain under direct office's white lamps light. Have to use full brightness, vivid mode, outdoor mode alltogether. Still I can see myself in the reflection of the screen during dark scenes.
MX Player, VLC, BS Player, Stock player - no big difference. Reflective...

Hey guys, so I got my Pebble a few days ago and I noticed when driving in the car that there was purple "wrinkles" all over the screen. I turned off the pebble and sure enough they were still there. I took a picture http://imgur.com/OAp5D31
So, once I got inside the house I noticed it disappeared for the most part. I can still see it if I look at the screen from the side but not if I was looking at it head on. I figured it might have to do something with temperature because it was fairly cold in the car. Has this happened to anyone? I'm fine if this is normal, but if this is a defect I would definitely want to exchange it for another one.
I have definitely seen the "wrinkles" you're describing. I'll try to make sure I look at them next time I walk the dog and report back.

Its funny their new red based polarized lenses are supposed to be better with polarized LCD screens..I can see my phone better with the new ones but the pebble not so much

My Pebble was the same but I notice that this only happen when you use a white watch face, now I use a dark watch face and the problem is gone. Maybe you guys can try that trick.
Good luck.
