Marsupial

I have a 10.4 inch touchscreen that came with a kiosk PC and have tried it in a beta test in my car.

It didn't came to my mind that the unit might not be sun redeable... I cannot read most things in daylight inside the car unless its very high contrast.

can I do anything about it?

I haven't found a solution so far.

I know you probably don't want to hear this but the best thing that you can do is get a reflective TFT LCD

You could try to play with the gamma control within mediacar also

Removing the touch overlay would work wonders, but then you wouldn't have a touch screen anymore.

Yea thats not really an option

You can get a capacitive or acustic wave touchscreen. These are less prone to glare then that resistive touchpanels.

In short no

there is less glare with other types of touchscreens though but becasue there is a small gap between the touchpanel and the lcd glare is imminent and unavoidable

acustic wave touchscreens are on solid peice of glass on the front so there is a lot less glare plus there isn't that resistive coating as in resitive touchscreens
