It is a fact that the 600 does not have as much glare in direct light as a 300 or 505. It is a fact that the 600 has more reflection then a 300 or 505. So each has their particular differences. Now as to whether these things are of issue to the perspective buyer is a matter of opinion. All I am trying to do is correct the facts so as to not give a false impression based in misinformation. I'm sorry if that offends you. I was not trying to offend you. I was just trying to correct some misinformation.
I'd like to correct some misinformation here as well.I played around with a 300 and a 600 in the store, alongside my 505. For quite a while. And for those who come to MR and see the above, I would like to correct the facts and point out that the 600 screen is more reflective under bright lights (what I would call "glare," making it harder to read) than the 300 or 505 screen. And this is what I have also read everywhere else (except in Mr Wolf's messages, strangely).

I checked them out for quite a while, different angles, etc. The 300 and 500 were easier to read, esp.when light was angling off of them. I have not seen anybody to this date (except JSW) contend otherwise.
