I've had the same "problem" with my 770Z. The screen is plenty bright
indoors, but almost unreadable in sunlight. I think, to a lesser extent,
you'd have the same problem with a CRT monitor, though. Bright sunlight
makes it rather difficult to read anything, whether it be a laptop screen
or even a book.

The only thing I can suggest is to put up a tent or an awning of some
sort to create shade. Or maybe some kind of hood over the laptop screen.
