      You know that you can just buy a sheet of the right filter and tape it over the display? There are probably even specifically designed screen protectors with this.

        It’s the same filter, just turned 90 degrees. You’d need to peel off the old filter if it’s even removable, and replace it with a new one.

      I don’t understand why this still happens. How have car manufacturers still not realized that they need to polarize their displays in the opposite direction? Tons of people wear polarized lenses, especially for driving! It’s not even a niche use-case, like half the options my optometrist offers are polarized, they’re everywhere. And the fix is so incredibly simple - just rotate some of your manufacturing equipment 90 degrees. Boom, done, problem solved.

      This has been quietly driving me crazy for years.
