Has anyone else experienced washed out colors with this screen? e.g., the Mavericks wave desktop image appears very washed out. It lacks clarity.

My experience has been GREAT on my macbook. It's been 2+ months and screen clarity and sharpness has been excellent. Install is tricky since you have to use a lot of heat gun and some force to pry off the old screen and it's a bit scary but it works!

No my screen is doing absolutely good. I bought it used and all, I definitely got lucky.

same problem here...screen is totally black instead of white/black typical night vision. We have a $50 monitor that has better night vision. This one is over $200. I went to Motorola's website to see if there was something that could be done. Their official answer on their FAQ page: "increase the ambient light in the room". Seriously???

Thanks for the reply. Please let us know if you are experiencing any of the freezing or color problems we've been seeing in the forum posts.

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

I've just bought the 2557, also replacing a 1490, which I really liked. I feel like this 2557 has horrible contrast, and as you say, all colors look weak and faded. Did you have any success with follow up regarding yours? Nothing I see on my screen matches the bright colors on the Garmin website or product sales card from the store. May return it, as it's quite frustrating and... oddly, distracting.

Yes, mine discolored pretty badly. It looks dark grey now instead of clear. I've bought two so far, but I don't think I'll buy a third - going to try something different.

The color is really crisp, just make sure to have latest drivers for your graphics and default any color options in their settings. Then fine-tune from there.

Yeah, that fixed it! Thanks! Had to go to AMD to download their Catalyst something. Then I had to get rid of that and find the one specific for Mac. Changed the overscan to 0% and no more black border. Thanks again burntham. Now I get to add another thing to my "why I hate Windows" list.

What I noticed most was the text quality. With the VGA connection, text on the 906BW had a smudged, almost shadowed look. On DVI the shadows were gone so the text looked clean and clear.

If you fins something please let me know. The contrast of the screen is terrible!!!

Yes- the same thing just happened to us. We purchased this item two months ago and this morning found that the screen had a green scratchy tint. By the evening, we could view nothing. We've tried everything: changing outlets, resetting the base unit, changing out the batteries, turning off the wi-fi in the home in case of interference. Nothing worked! From what we can tell, it's a base unit issue, as the handheld is still capable of pulling up color without issue on the startup screen. Summer better be willing to make this right...For the $200 we paid, it's not worth it...

Just received mine today. It is RGB, however it has two dead pixels. I will try to get it exchanged.

I had a similar problem. First the screen was blue then completly blank. I took it to a sony service center and they had to replace the ribbon cable that feeds the screen. Seems this is a common defect.

How are the graphics for Photoshop work. I'm looking for true color and tone. Does the display have a wide viewing area that stays relatively the same?M Chelini

The unit we have is bright and crisp. I am happy with the screen, so I'm thinking you may have a faulty screen.

it certainly doesnt have the same quality as ones such as Retina Displays or the new galaxies but its damn close. make sure you set the settings on both the monitor and the computer display or else the monitor would continuously try to adjust color because it the settings aren't set right.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.
