Maybe not quite as handy, but easier to see and more accurate. https://www.amazon.com/Korg-GA30-Ult.../dp/B000EB68VK

For ease of visibility outdoors in sunlight, I've never had a problem with my TCEs. The usual disclaimers apply - IMHO, YMMV.

Technical "accuracy" is a bit of non-issue, and a bit off topic as this thread is about visibility.
Tuner "accuracy" is generally down to how you are going to use it. Visibility is important, as is time of response. Some tuners are just too darn slow at reading what's going on to be useful. Others have a tendency to get confused by harmonics. Others are just difficult to read in the real world of a gig stage - particularly if you are changing tunings on a banjo! The manufacturer's given accuracy is no use if the screen doesn't give you that precision in a useful and readable display that works for you when under time pressure. I like the TC Unitune. And I know a lot of folks here like the TC Unitune. It is easy to read with its big bright display. The "green cross" is a good system to see at a gig. The tuner reacts very quickly. You can move from string to string quickly across a held down chord shape to check the tuning in real time. It displays the note names - great for capo tunings and alt tunings. It's technical accuracy using the green cross display may be lower than other tuners - but in a practical sense it is the most accurate and fasted tuner that I have used.

I car read my TC Electronics Unitune easily in direct sun.

So I bought a tuner I could see in direct sun. It's like Click and Clack used to say: There are no problems, only excuses to buy new tools. |

Most of the Strobe tuners listed actually have LCD displays. The only two true strobe tuners that don't have LCD displays are the mechanical rotary wheel tuners which sell for around a $1000. I've used true Conn strobe tuners and they are visible in sunlight but not many folks want to carry them around! |

You might be. Like I posted way earlier, the sound-hole mounted D'Addario is protected from direct light. If you ignore that, you may remain - unable to see your tuner. Also, as mentioned, there a numerous tuner pedals and multi-effect boards/pedals that have very visible tuners. Ignore all of those, and you get what you get. Additionally, why aren't you under a canopy, pergola, tent, porch, pavillion.... something. Ridiculous to be out in the open sunlight. I wouldn't play unprotected from the elements.

There is a reason that Peterson graces every pro level stage in the world. I give them out as Christmas gifts, to people I play with. Have been using Peterson strobes since the 70's. Back before Autotune, you had to have guitars set up, intonated, and ready when going into the studio |

I own mostly LED tuners, but keep a couple old LCD ones for picnics, outings, etc where I'll be wanting to tune out-in-the-wild. Actually the Petersons are LCD. I have the original Clip version, and while it's a little erratic, I can still make it work (I figured it out during the first month I had it). But it's useless during a song with other's playing so sensitive it 'hears' the bass using the top of my guitar like a diaphragm. Also my iPhone 15 will hit 1000nits of brightness outside for short periods, so it's bright enough even in bright sunlight, and I keep the Airyware tuner on the front page (paid the fee) of my phone, and it's really good…but it does have to use a mic. So it's only good when the music stops. |
