UPDATE

*************************************************

Please can I ask a few people to help me out, and test something?
Can you go to YouTube on your iPod Touch and search 'batman begins'. Then go on the third one down, which is 02:08 in length and is hosted by 'daneimp'. Please can you watch the video and tell me if any of the black or dark colours are shown as dots, like the picture of the battery image that cjmal posted frther down. Please especially look at the shaded side of the womans face on the left side of the screen at 00:47. Also when the dude whips the cape out a dotted black can be seen on my iPod Touch.

I would be so grateful if a few people could do this, and tell me the week of their iPod and if they too can see the dots like in cjmals battery picture.

Also, could you go to http://www.ipodtest.notlong.com and feedback on if the bottom left corner and middle right is sort of grainy, with dotted blacks.

Thanks!

Hey everybody.

I have a 45-week 16gb iPod Touch, which I thought was perfect until I started to watch a few vids. There was also a website somewhere which I browsed in safari to check the screens contrast etc, and all seemed to be great.

So...here's the point of the thread. Is the negative black issue when the dark/black parts of the screen are shown as dots? Like different colours? I'm not sure if it’s just the quality of the videos but on the darker parts of videos the black is often made of lots of dots, or squares filled with dots randomly placed everywhere. I would make a video but I don't think it would be clear enough, like all of the other videos I have seen when I have searched 'Negative Black'.

Should I contact Apple? (Something I REALLY didn't want to do and fuss about)

Thanks

EDIT: I suppose if there is an issue then it would be better to solve it sooner so that I wouldn't have to worry about a firmware that couldn't be downgraded.

Cortex, could you explain what you see to me?

I've only really just noticed but there are two glows around the battery when mine is hooked up. One at the top left diagonal and one to the top right. If I look closely they are both dotted at the edge.

Thanks very much cjmal. Are the pictures on the top what they are meant to look like? My battery looks like the other picture you posted, and those sort of dots or pixels also seem to be present with darker colours. I'll try to take a video and post it.

EDIT: Okay, I've tried recording my Touch with my Digital Camera and Video Camera but neither make the picture come out too good.

I have updated my posts and would be extremely grateful if a few people could help out.

Thanks.

Cortex, could you read the starred part of my post and try it too? Just to see if we have the same problem.

What is this 'repair test' thing?
I'm still within the 90 days, but hope that both of us will be able to get the problems sorted.

Well I think I'm going to go to an Apple shop at the weekend and see. Of coourse this means I'll have to restore it, but will also add images and videos that proves thre is something wrong.

Thanks very much. Now I can actually tell the 'Genius' that I have had others try to view the image, and have seen it as fine, just in case they don't believe me or 'don't know anything about it'.

Do you think I should also try to get a brand new replacement? (Has anybody else received a BRAND NEW iPod Touch as a replacement?) I don't really think I'd be too happy with a refurb

Would it be worth asking for the manager if they will not give me a new one?

Thanks so much in advance,
James
