[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 453010, member: 24042"] [USER=17662]@JerryD[/USER], It's great. You can adjust the brightness using the touchscreen, but it's a smart mirror with night vision. It does a better job of handling lights behind you than a conventional mirror, or even the auto-dimming mirror my Rubi came with. We're rural. A house on a 1 acre plot is considered small. Our neighbors are prairie dogs, coyote, eagles, antelope, fox... The guy (way) behind us has horses and goats. I've gone out in the morning to find a rooster sitting on my hood. The one idiosyncrasy I have found is aiming it. It works perfectly well as a conventional mirror. I drove it that way while waiting for a cable to be sent. But what I found is that in bright sunlight, from certain angles, you can get a sort of doubled image. The screen plus the overlaid conventional mirror. That's sort of weird. The solution, of course, is simple. Don't adjust it like a mirror. Just point the screen straight back or whatever to eliminate that ghost image. You can see the screen perfectly well from pretty much anywhere. I really don't think you will have any issue at all with light pollution. [/QUOTE]
