Default Polarized Instrument Display

Does any one know of some kind of fix for the LX5000 screen for this
situation? I really don't want to change glasses.

As a quick check on whether the LX screen or your glasses are wrong, go
find a calm lake or pond. When the sun is reflecting off it at you, your
glasses should dramatically reduce the reflections from the water
surface. Both lenses should be the same.

This is because reflected light from a liquid surface is polarized by
being reflected (IIRC its horizontally polarized). The whole point of
polarized glasses is to cut this reflection, so if they don't do that
take them back and demand a refund.

Once you know the glasses are set up right its time to go check on the
LX screen.
