Reflections are severe on the 1040 solar

Here's just a sample, when I had to stop and try to reconnect my powertap. It's markedly different than the 1030.

Strange. No problem here in similar conditions 

Pictures please?

Would be good to have pics from a 1040 and a 1040s side by side for the same situation. But no probs with my 1040 non solar so far.

Hmmm, did not tried under the mixed condition , only in the direct sun , and its very visible (normal one) 

From this point also 1030 was bad , I don't have solar , I have standard 1040 , I will try to test it in the weekend and came back with feedback 

this is mine

You can switch to Day not Night , Black is more problematic from my point of view 

Wow that looks nasty. $150.00 more and you get that kind of glare? Not that I intended to get the solar, but that pic and the other reports of glare would have definitely talked me out of it if I did.

I don't mean this to be snarky, but when are you going to be looking at it at that angle while riding?  If you take the picture from where your eyes would normally be, do you get the same mirror effect?  Personally I position my computer so the screen is as close to perpendicular to my line of sight as possible.  

This exactly. I've ridden with my 1040 solar twice now and it's totally fine. Even better than my 810 that I'm replacing it with, to be honest, and certainly better than my Karoo which was terrible in daylight.
