Darn it!
I was so happy that West World computing got those in and went in today to get one around 5:45pm.
Once I am home, quickly I wanted to check the screen although it's a week 38, 9C738. I don't know if everyone knows but at this site, http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/small/, they have images specifically for small device screen test, ie, ipod. I downloaded the pics, load them up to the ipod, and click on the side by side comparison offered by the site.
Well, the darn thing fails the color bar test (goes too dark too soon), the gamma test (box on left column completely dissolved), the contrast test (pretty much all box non-distinguishable), the saturation test ( blue boxes). Wait the sec, that's failing ALL the tests...
darn, I am heading back to West world tomorrow for an exchange. Hopefully they won't give me too much trouble exchanging it...
I mean, okay, there is no negative black effect anymore, but the screen is still off. For $500 Cdn, I am going to exchange until I am happy with it, else I would rather return it...
So, a week 38 DOESN'T gurantee a good screen... darn it!
P.S. although I am about the screen, I am to say 30min with the pod and it's really amazing...
