Have you checked out the Ultra Gauge? It has a blue screen and a fairly large display. I can't say what they are like in really bright conditions, as I live in the great white north.
sounds like a polarization thing, like if you tilt your head to the side the LCD with your polarized glasses on, it becomes more readable (same problem exists on the blue one).

True, but it is more a contrast thing, very bright sunlight vs dim screen, and yes I have set it as bright/contrast as I can, I have the same propblem with the scan gauge II.
