This is a picture I found which clearly illustrates what i'm getting versus what I expected to get. See my silver prs600 pictures posted earlier. Those are pretty similar to what you see here. Those where taken with a fluorescent bar shaped lights with plastic diffusors. I suspect this picture was the same.

As I said before in this thread, I've played with one outside, inside (fluorescent tubes in their usual banks with the plastic diffusor grids, compact flourescent lamps in the usual floor-lamps), and in vehicles... and the only times I had issues with glare was when I either had the sun behind me, or when I had a lamp over my shoulder pointing directly at the screen instead of at an angle.
As noted by the previous poster, the glare is at its worst in marginal lighting conditions, where any point source will glare badly... or if you've got a light source pointed directly at the screen, which caused even the PRS-505 above to glare some (which is about the same amount of glare that I saw when I was playing with one of these outside).

I think your right.... but i don't care. The screen is basic functionality. It's the most critical part of the device. If it's not working to expectiation, it really defeats the purpose of the device.
