I don't have this problem with LCD screens. (I don't like them for other reasons, but focusing is not an issue.)

I leave the light on when using my ST w/GL because the screen is too "murky" with it off. At daytime I don't have the issues that I have at night with focusing – or at least these are not as noticeable.
