Sunlight readable EFIS
 

Has anyone experience of a good sunlight readable EFIS. I have experience of a Dynon D100 and D120, and a Dynon D180 in bubble canopies but both are disappointing in direct sunlight. I would call them in extreme situations unreadable. Is there something better out there?

Garmin G1000

The Dynons that you refer are quite old in a rapidly changing world of avionics. I think you'll find most more modern units are much brighter.
I have used the GRT mini and Horizon units under a bubble canopy with no problems. The G1000 would most likely be fine at a vastly higher budget level, but G3 and G5 and most of the newer units should be fine.

Dig into the literature and you'll find most are in the range 800-1200 Nits, whereas the older ones are about 400.

If going Dynon you need the newer Skyviews. I have twin Dynon Skyviews and they are just fine. As you say the older D100/!20/180's were a problem under a bubble canopy.
My preference would be Dynon Skyviews or GRT Horizons. Only issue if going GRT is the lack of a UK/European agent. Garmin stuff is ok, if expensive, and you end up with Garmin Pilot mapping which again is silly expensive on chart updates.

Please see here in article, some pics of 2 x G5 performance...
