I have a Phantom Vision 2 and it is hard to see video while flying in bright daylight, I have tried iphone, ipad and andriod phone. Any suggestions? I was thinking LCD might be better?? Does some one make a good lcd that will run the app?

You need to purchase a sun screen:

Standing in the shade is the best fix. If not possible, a sun shade is the best you can do. You can find some commonly used sun shades here:

Check the brightness of you screen too. Uses a little more battery power but run it to full brightness and turn off screen saver for hour or so. Screen shade will help as the other have said. Whit mine full brightness and a shade I can see ok.

I have that same one and only problem I have with it, the ball mount that attatches to trypod is easly broken. I have a Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 with a Otterbox case which is almost to heavy. Only the 7 inch size will fit. but the tablet barely fits inside the arms with the sun hood. The mount is not deep enougth for a "thicker" tablet when a Otterbox is part of it. So the arms are barely grabbing the edge. mine fell out of the mount once and luckly I caught it. The otterbox I have has a seperate removable  stand that the tablet props up on but does not work with the sun hood. I was using the sun hood for the 10 inch which offers better coverage. but had to modify it to fit the 7 inch mount. Right now. I stopped using it because the ball mount is to flimsy and so is the nut that holds the mount to the trypod bracket. I need a METAL assembly, not plastic.  Any Ideas?

What about FPV glasses?
I have never tried them but have to imagine they would be pretty cool and would solve a lot of the glare problems...

You can also use a black  and large umbrella if it's not too windy  ( normally, you do not fly when it's too windy).
You can attach it at your back with a simple trousers belt to keep you hands free ( à hauteur de poitrine). In many cases, this will help you more than a sun screen. It also protects your head and your body  !

If it's not too hot, prefer dark clothes as they will not reflect sunlight as much as white shirts !
