I was comparing my T3 to my NX80v and noticed that the LEDS are located at the top and bottom on the T3. But on the NX80v they are on the sides. I thought possibly this could be why the colors appear to be so much more vivid on the NX80v then the T3. BUT I also noticed that the lower LEDS on the T3 are orange in color. Does anyone else notice these orange lights at the bottom of you T3? When you have a white background does your T3 have any discoloration, or inconsistent brightness towards the bottom of the screen? Try looking at this with Tasks, or Memo's since you can have a clear white screen when the Memo Tasks is blank in Landscape, or Portrait. Thanks __________________ Jeff W

Why the Orange color LEDS??? I would think that mixing Orange and a white app would make the screen yellow!?!?!!! __________________ Jeff W

That is incorrect. Some T3s come with the orange lights at the bottom, others dont. I know this first hand.

The screen is brighter with the orange lights than the white lights.

Could that explain the difference in brightness on some units? __________________ Kenny Song Treo 680 + 8GB SDHC<LifeFlash+4GB SD< Palm<Clie<Prism<Palm<Newton<Sharp

The talk was that the USA manufactured units had a brighter screen with a bluish screen. And the units made oversees had a dimmer pinkish tint. Since the manufacturing did not mean they were sold in those markets all the different manufactured units showed up all over the states. People were going out and reporting where they bought which, where. It was nutz.. Sounds like things have not changed much in the past few years. __________________ Jeff W
