Subjective notes on the screen, Palm m505

Thus, the screen m505 ... Screen, which was a lot of debate before the official release of Palm m505, and which argue more now that the new machine went on sale (in US). Immediately make a reservation. If anyone expected, picking up a m505, it sees Casio E-125 in a miniature version and a Palm OS - let these dreams to better times. M505 screen differs from the screen E-125 as well as oil painting on canvas, is different from a color photo. Now, let's see if it is good or bad. When you first turn machines screen seemed somewhat dull, if not gloomy. Such an "image in pastel colors (not to be confused with" sex ";). Only later I realized what was going on. Background! That's what makes the m505 screen is absolutely different from the screens of other color PDAs. Background screen m505 is not white, but rather looks like a light gray metallic. Accordingly, the color will look like, pastel. After an hour of work with m505 screen no longer seemed bleak. On the contrary, he is pleased me more and more. All colors on the m505 clear and well distinguishable. Light gray background gives some sense of "depth of color." And, most importantly, from a color screen is absolutely not tired eyes (for example, after an hour of working with E-125's eyes are quite tired of the excessive brightness of the screen, especially if the room was poorly lit). The next moment was a nice "behavior" m505 on the street in bright sunshine. The screen reads everything! Absolutely everything! I do not know how to behave in such circumstances, the new color Sony Clie, but the available color devaysov, m505, perhaps, has the "read" the screen in bright sunlight.

Indoors, the screen m505 (without light) looks different. For example, under the lamp "daylight" he looks like a monochrome screen machine (in such conditions will look like drawn with colored chalk). If you go to the window - the general form of the screen changes (background is a lighter color and icons have become noticeably brighter). And in fact, and in another case, the screen m505 is a good "read." Backlight, m505 can also be used in dark environments, and in the light. In the first case (in the twilight, in the dark, etc.) the screen becomes like those color screen handheld, to which we are accustomed to - a bright, almost white background. Similarly, changing and icons: lost, "pastel" and they become, if I may say so, "the usual colored icons. When you use the light, the light behaves quite interesting, depending on the general conditions of illumination. Under certain conditions it does not change almost anything (even difficult to understand at once - is included or not). With others - decide "the angle of incidence of light" - that is, in average lighting conditions, can be "as usual" turn it to the car, the light shines on the screen and you can just turn on the backlight (in this case, the screen becomes brighter, but will very clear). Only, in my opinion, the lack of screen m505 - is the lack of ability to adjust brightness and contrast. But, considering that the screen m505, as I said, well-read, practical, under any circumstances - it is not critical. Especially because many "wishes of the workers" to give them the opportunity to adjust the brightness and contrast in its sole discretion - can be heard from the developers and implemented in a future update-e OS. After working for a week with m505, I have concluded that all the arguments about a good screen from this machine or poor - have no meaning. M505 screen is impossible to estimate, using the criteria of "good" / "bad." It is just different. New, unusual, but very comfortable, well-read, clear color screen. The rest - from the personal likes and dislikes ... PS Everything written above is purely personal subjective and may not reflect the views of other users. The authors, translation:
