How long ago was that?

As I said above, such issues have improved considerably in the last few years.

If concerned, not too hard to check one out at a brick 'n mortar store in advance.

The iPads are working fine in all kinds of lighting environments, to include daylight.

So do most of the laptops and flatscreens offered today.

This problem is wellknown to me because of day job stuff in which computers are placed on the bridges of ships, on the dockside, inside airplanes and helicopters, land vehicles, etc. There was once a time when we had to open up screens and modify them to be "Daylight Compatible" at extra cost to the customer. Not so much today as the screens coming out now are very capable in these respects.

The laptop I'm typing this on is a rather long in the tooth HP nx6125. It has a matte finish screen that is daylight viewable. Purchased in 2003.

But just because a screen may have a shiny finish does not mean that it isn't daylight viewable or may have a problem with light reflection onstage. Don't be concerned about light reflection when the screen is in the off state. Turn it on and then check it out in the lighting situation that you will be required to use it in.

It really has gotten a LOT better than in the past.

But that's not to say that someone wouldn't run into a screen that has the problem, especially in the lower priced models. Check it out beforehand to be certain it can do the job you will require of it.
