Had an older Humminbird...nice clear screen. Got a 595C and if Im not in the perfect spot its impossible to read the screen.

Doesnt matter if its cloudy or bright.

Anyone have this issue or suggestions on coping with it ?

It drives me (more) nuts............

It has a setting that allows you to set the clarity to help you see it. Read the manuel or run through the screen settings and you will find it.

Adjusting the angle of the screen will also help.

are you looking at it thru polarized glasses? If so, try taking them off or turning your head. I have to have my head on the same plane as the screen on my Garmin and Raymarine. If I tilt my head left or right, it starts to get darker til it's totally black.

Same thing happens with my cell phone. Have to be looking at it straight. If I turn the phone 90* to my line of sight, the screen goes black.

I really never fish without the polarized glasses but taking them off isnt helping see it better either. The only adjustment in the manual is brightness and thats not helping. (except after dark I dim it down)

You really need to be right directly in front of it...or it tints very dark.

When its up front and Im trolling in and out of areas its impossible to stay in one spot so its aggravating. Im almost wondering if its working right. I think I'll contact Humminbird.

Thanks for your feedback guys.
