As an Optometrist, I was going to order some new polarized lenses custom and make them 90 degrees from normal so I can see the HUD when driving perfectly. Upon further testing in the X7, I realized that the both 12.3" dash screens are polarized as well. If you turn a good pair of RayBans 90 degrees on those screens they completely vanish. So basically you can get some made to see the HUD perfectly but you'll lose everything else. Makes no sense why the made the HUD visual angle the way they did. You can have one or the other, not both.
