I, too, dislike screens as rearview mirrors. When you use a normal mirror, you are focusing on something that is likely around the same distance from your eyes as the car in front of you. With a screen, you're focusing on the screen instead of the light reflected off of it, meaning that your eyes are going from focusing on something that's a few car lengths ahead of you to something that's a few feet from you, then back to something that's in the distance again. It takes noticeably longer to check what's going on behind you and takes your eyes further "off the road" as a result.
