I remember seeing a post on polarized sungglasses about this but here is my first hand experience. I bought my "first" HTC One m8 on opening day. One thing I noticed is that with my polarized sunglasses I could not see the screen. And when I say that I couldn't see it I really mean it was almost black with my sunglasses on even with brightness all the way up. Only if I tilted my head certain angels could I slighyt see the screen. I figured no big deal, annoying but I've seen someone else comment about it on the forum so I figured it's normal on this phone or my brand of polarized lenses. Never had this issues with previous phones (Note 3, iPhone 5, Nexus 5) using these glasses but I dismissed it.
Then I had to exchange my phone because the speakers were crackling and just picked up my new HTC One M8. Now using the same glasses I can see the screen just fine, same as I was able to do on my previous iPhone 5.
Anyone else notice this? It's not unheard of that phone mfrs use different screen mfrs for the same phone.
Note: Both HTC One m8's were the Verizon version.
