Can't figure out whether this belongs in GG, The Lounge, Sat-Nav or wherever so apologies if it's in the wrong section

It's generally true that polarising lenses and LCD screens don't mix, I just got my first pair of polarised sunnies and as expected they block out all the computer screens in the house, the LCD dash display and the radio display when held at the correct angle.

However, no matter what the angle they are at, they don't affect the light output from my Zumo, and it's bugging the hell out of me not knowing why

Short of phoning Garmin, does anyone have any idea what makes the screen different to other LCD displays?

Is it because it's a touch screen?

LED backlit?
