Custom, rugged, and sunlight-readable monitors are mission-critical to many demanding industries that operate in harsh and extreme environments where standard monitors cannot survive or function optimally. These specialized monitors are designed to withstand various environmental factors like severe temperatures, moisture, dust, vibration, and shock, making them ideal for use in rugged terrains and adverse weather conditions. Some of the most common uses for these monitors include fieldwork like geographical surveys and environmental assessments, military operations, outdoor events for sports, concerts, and festivals, and transportation industries, including aviation, maritime, and rail.
Pelican-Style LCD Monitor Carrying Cases: Everything You Need to Know
If you spend any time working for, with, or around the modern military, industrial field work, first-responders, drones and ROVs, or the oil and gas industry, you’ve likely seen Pelican-type cases, be it Pelican, Nanuk, etc. Pelican Cases are a high-quality brand of hard protective cases for all types of sensitive equipment, from LCD monitors and all-in-one computers to photography equipment to weapons. These cases are also commonly seen at trade shows, events, and in entertainment production. In any sector where fragile and costly equipment needs to be transported or survive the elements, Pelican Cases are there.
Your Guide to Sunlight-Readable Monitors

When display devices are used in direct sunlight or struck by other powerful reflective light sources, they frequently suffer from reduced visibility. At home or in the office, users can close the blinds or adjust their screen orientation. However, combatting lighting that overwhelms backlit LCD panels can be a major challenge in commercial, industrial, and military field applications. With the growth of the LCD panel industry as a whole, the importance of new technologies that prevent sunlight from washing out displays for outdoor use has never been greater.
Let’s take a quick look at what sunlight-readable monitors are, how they work, and where to get them.
