    My 2014 LCD Display is impossible to read because of glare. It is pretty much un-useable in most light. Is this a common problem with these or is there something wrong with mine. It's terrible.

    I felt this way about my 2015 touchscreen. Is brightness all the way up? That helped me...

    I've had my 2014 for a few months and it's one of my biggest pet peeves, too. It's totally impossible with polarized lenses, but the way it's angled and catches light makes it damn near impossible even without sunglasses.

    Yep, turn the brightness of the screen up. Doesn't fix it, but it does help.

    No problem with mine, but then I am fond of saying there are elementary school-aged children in northeast Ohio who have never seen a sunny day.
