View Full Version : SJ33 screen tint?

I just got my new SJ33. Aside from the fact that the battery life is kind of short (I'm going to have to Palm Bench and compare to the times from the "battery life" thread), it seems to me like the display has a bluish tint on the right side, almost a little like a CRT monitor that's been affected by a magnet. It's not visible when there is mostly color on the screen, but it is noticeable when I'm reading an ebook on a white background or doing anything else with a white background (which is kind of prominent in the Palm platform). The whiteness just isn't consistent.

Does anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking that maybe I'm just being too picky because I invested so much time in choosing a PDA and I want it to be perfect, but then again, maybe it's a real problem. I'm going to go to the store and compare the screens, and if the display model is better (after all the abuse IT's taken), I'll get a replacement.

That's what I'd do.

You may have just gotten a bad one or something.
One of the things that blew me away when I got mine was the even backlighting and brightness of the display.

Of course I was upgrading from a Palm m130. :rolleyes:

Compare your SJ33's screen with the display model at a local electronics retailer near you....
