Me too, the NuShield DayVue as recommended by @rbentnail, but I don't find it to be very helpful, likely due to my choice in gear. I ride wearing a hi-viz jacket and either a white or a hi-viz helmet. They reflect terribly in the screen of the XT at certain sun angles, making the XT screen extremely hard to see. The non-reflective film only diffuses that glare. In some instances I think the film makes it worse because the diffusion increases the area of the glare. I have kept it in place for its protective properties though.

550 and 595 centred on one of my favourite locations. Interesting to see that 550 has a very noticable refesh rate unlike the 595
