Anyone else noticing poor screen performance in strong sunlight?

My A5 screen becomes very mottled only with bright direct sunshine. Like heavy ghosting. It disappears if I change app, then back again (which I imagine triggers a full refresh).

I haven't had this on any of my previous readers (Kindle/Pocketbook/Onyx). Googling around, early e-readers had this issue and it's been a problem on the new Onyx Nova 2 which they've fixed via a software update.

Thankfully I live in England, so it will be a rare occurrence.
