DIY Pixel Qi Screens
Pixel Qi is a company that manufactures a special LCD display designed for laptops. These displays have the ability to convert to a tablet reader display at the flip of a switch. That means that if you are trying to use your netbook outside in the glaring sun, you can flip the switch and the screen becomes like that of a Kindle. This greatly reduces glare but you need to first install the LCD in your netbook before you can use it.
