My only complaint is that it is not very readable in direct sunlight.
My counter to this is that if I actually need it for an approach, then I
won't be in the sun anyway.
Not so in all cases. In southern CA I have had many flights where the entire aproach was flown in bright sunlight above a solid marine layer. You enter IMC after being established on the ILS and then fly down to minimums. I experienced the same in the Sacramento area except that it was not a marine layer but fog instead. Also, if you are using the display for enroute charts, being in bright sunlight over a deck of clouds is not all that unusal, especially if you are flying in the flight levels in a IV-P.
