Yes, only after I had the windshield tinted. It also depends on which sunglasses I wear. My Serengeti‘s are fine, no rainbows. My Oakley’s are the worst. I feel like I’m watching a Prince video.

EDIT because I actually watched the video…how is that relevant in any way to an airplane? The position of the pilot to the screen never rotates

Exactly. The only screen polarized in th MC130H is the TA/VSI. And it’s horizontally polarized just like my Oakleys. So the only way it could possibly black out is if I turn my head 90 degrees left or right.
Our windows are laminated but the rainbow effect never bothered me. In fact I was usually the first person on the fight deck to call out visual traffic.

As for car tint, my whole car including windshield is tinted at 15 for sides and 35 for the front. I see zero rainbow effect in any window which is a testament to the way the tint is made. Xpel Prime Plus is what I have.

you can call it whatever you like, and post a video from Mr. Edward Land himself…

…but if I personally wear polarized glasses in my airplane and 50% of the time all is well, and the other 50% they black out my screens; then I shall not be using them

Yeah....that's actually the point. It's not your glasses.

Look, do some investigation into what polarization actually is, then you'll understand. The screen will only blank out if you tilt your head 90 degrees to it, or for some stupid reason a particular screen had it's polarization applied in the wrong direction.

I get a little bit. I was really worried about it before tinting my windows & windshield. It's no where near as bad as I thought it would be. It's very slight. I never saw any rainbows before I got tint. (exceot on other people's cars)

I prefer polarized because I'm on the water at least once a week. Also great for winter driving with snow. Some cars back windshields and chrome hit you just right, and glasses cut it down a lot.
Have had the occasional artifact as mentioned re display blocking - but I'm not bothered by that.
Fun fact ... using cell phone to take photos - I use my sunglasses to shoot through, and rotate them to get the polarization angle just right to improve sky or sea contrast. Free polarization filter for your camera. One of my best memories of this is shooting 'old faithful' in yellowstone. Water had brilliant, not over exposed whites, against a deep blue sky. Without the polarization, just a boring snapshot.

In my experience you should never wear polarized glasses while driving in icy conditions because it will keep you from seeing ice on the road.

Good point, I see supporting info for that on the web.
However if its a sunny day I believe glare on snow could have a similar consequence in making it harder to see. I'll always buy polarized as they have been recommended by my optometrist way way back over 20 years ago.
I have both types, cause I saw a deal on a set of non-P. Use em both, because any are better than none.

I have two sets of sunglasses in the GT. One set is polarized and the other is not. Polarizing is nice, but can black out all kinds of things, like my watch and smart phone, etc.

I don't get rainbows on the windshield and don't have any problems with the instrument cluster (don't have the digital dash being a 16) or infotainment, but I do get rainbows/oil slick if I wear polarized sunglasses with the visor down on my helmet for track days. So I have a separate pair of non-polarized gradient sunglasses for the track. Smoked visor would also work.

Here is what I get with my Persol’s.

Going to be ordering some new sunglasses but am worried about going with polarized. I’ve seen some people say it can impact infotainment screens / looking out tinted side windows.
Does anyone with polarized sunglasses have any input?

I don't have any problems with my 2019. The newer screens are compatible.

I wear polarized prescription RayBans and have no trouble with the windshield, side windows, side mirrors, screen or dash. I do get anomalies in the rear window looking in the rear view mirror. I don't get the same thing with the top down so I figure it's the angle of the back glass when the top is up.

I kept wondering how Covid Antibodies had a correlation with Polarized Sunglasses?
