I read in some Linux car PC project that you want to lok for a "transflective " screen so you can read in the sun. But I have found only extremely expensive versions of like $700 and up...

any ideas on that?
Given it's not as good as buying a screen built for sunlight, but there are screen protectors that help reduce the glare. Plus, if you have tinted windows it will GREATLY help reduce the glare.
