I agree with Morteza, the polarizer filter should have match the most common layout, which is most likely horizontal. Or they could have provided 2 versions. Perhaps if we put more pressure they will. However with some effort you will most likely find a place to mount it vertically as I did, or switch to the in panel display if you have space, as it is polarized correctly and has louder volume.

I ended up replacing my rectangular display with the 57mm display which works well with polarized glasses and is a bit louder. They are already working on improving the UI to address some of the issues such as font size and PCAS distance as far as I know. Will be nice to have more configuration options as the Flarmview seem to have. All these should be relatively easy to do with firmware upgrades, so am hoping Butterfly folks are reading this and realizing they may be loosing customers to Flarmview otherwise. BTW I am not sure that flarmview supports firmware upgrades via Powerflarm as butterfly will with the next firmware.

Ramy,

FlarmView has a mini SD Card for firmware, software, data upgrades to the display.
