Is there a way to invert the measurement screen colours?

From Black background White text  
To White background Black text

As I have found in bright sun it’s sometimes hard to read, so usually have to cup my hand around the screen to see the white text?

Hello, not presently as we found this doesn’t significantly help with outdoor visibility vs the normal mode. Power consumption becomes much higher if we drive up the brightness more but are exploring possibilities to continue to improve this in the future!

I can read the e-paper, which is white background and black text, just fine in the sun. Why would the measurement screen be any different? I’ll second the request for black text on white background for the measurement screen!

Hey Steve, the e-paper has a very low refresh rate so unfortunately it cannot be used for the live display. However, on our new T1M Utility model, we have a high visibility indoor and outdoor LCD display on it - [https://www.reekon.tools/t1m-utility-launch](https://www.reekon.tools/t1m-utility-launch)
