• Outdoor Use: The screen is highly visible in natural sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor reading and work.
• Indoor Use: For indoor use, ensure adequate room lighting. Position the tablet to utilize ambient light effectively, such as near a window or under a well-lit area. Avoid using in dimly lit or dark rooms as the screen will appear very dark.
