The front and rear police screens are of the flat TFT/LCD variety, the front screen generally has a shroud with a flip down shield on the right side to minimise glare, most pilots do however like to see the screen as it's natural to position the aircraft relative to the target without being asked to do so, so that the camera never goes out of control and the pilot and rear observer can see the target on the ground. The screen is dimmed and does not present a problem.

On a visit to another region I did see that their aircraft had a very small repeater screen fitted to the pilots coaming to assist with situational awareness, looked great, but just like the sheepskin seat covers it's an extra cost to justify.
