I can't address the babah wahwah thing, but one minor prob with LCD 
screens is that if you wear polarized sunglasses, you may have to tilt 
your head to see what's on the screen. Not good if yer looking to see if 
the GT1 camaro is about to punt you as you enter a corner.

This is probably a case where the low-tech solution (a wink mirror or 
something similar) is the best solution.

My $0.02

p.s. You Do It Electronics in the Boston area is affectionately referred 
to by MIT folks as "You Broke It Electronics". Fun place!!
