6'2" and not using the lowest seat setting - I can see it fine and can move it both up and down a little and it is still visible (my wife is 5' and we have it on the same setting even though our seats settings are drastically different). I prefer it as high as I can so it's where I look when driving - I would prefer it a little higher. I also struggled to adjust during test drive - inexperienced sales guy. I think there are good few inches of height reserve there. It is possible that at 6'4" you have short legs and upper body of 7 footer and hence it maxes out. If you are an average proportions it should work for your height unless you have very odd seat preferences. I suggest you try again. Make sure you pay attention to ALL seat settings first (we often rush through seat settings not bothering with inclines just height and reach - make yourself fully comfortable and the then see if HUD would move match. Lots of tall Americans on swedespeed forum and I don't recall anyone complaining about HUD visibility (though they do often prefer heated screen - they get no fuel heater option there).
