Easily visible, especially in direct sunlight.
I don't know why he could not use his TE outside.
I found that, on a scale of 1-5, in non direct sunlight (like inside a
vehicle that isn't in a shaded area) the E scored a 4 or 5 and the
Sony TJ27 was a one number below whichever the E was; a subjective
score.
The sony screen is just that much dimmer than the E in all situations
except for direct sunlight shining on the unit.
In that case the backlight does nothing (and to think that thing is 93
million miles away!). As an aside, the BL on the Sony can be defeated
easily whereas the BL on the E can only be defeated with special
software.
I did not compare either of these to a IIIx in sunlight.
Good luck,
Shawn
