It is hard for me to see the Nox display in bright sunshine, especially if it's at my back.
The factory screen protector throws off a lot of glare.
I tried a nylon control box protector with clear vinyl for display, it worked no better.
Got tired of turning this way and that trying to read display.

Figured there had to be a better way.
Got on the big box internet site and bought an anti glare screen protector for an iPad.
Cut to size, installed per directions.
Cut to fit entire face of control box, so it protects my buttons as well as the display.
Installed over factory protector.
It works great.
Cut glare to next to nothing.

Bought a 2 pack for the 9.5 iPad.
It's enough to cover at least 8 displays, depending on how times you screw up before you're happy with it.

This is direct sunlight at my back.

I'm loving it.
 

Nice. I was thinking of trying something like this. For recording my live digs the glare often makes it hard to see on video. I will have to do this as well. Thanks for posting your results.
 

I cut a piece a little larger than the display.
Taped it to display.
Drew an outline of the display with a sharpie.
I found it easier the trace inside the black frame on the display itself and cut on the outside of the line.
Removed and cut with scissors.
 

Nice and good idea with the IPad cover. I sometimes just turn my light on.
