My replacement has a very noticable gradient from very bright to dark. I asked for another replacement, but ATM the Oasis is out of stock in Germany until the end of November. All you can get now is a repackaged unit from another return.  |
The unit I received as a replacement, did not have the blue retail packaging. It was in a brown box, taped on the inside and outside was marked as refurbished. Considering that it was shipped out on the 2nd and the device had only been released on the 31st of October, I don't see how they could already have had returns and gone through the refurbish process. It was shipped not from amazon.com, but from the warehouse (USA). My guess is they had put some back right away to use for such cases. The device was wrapped and had a cable and looked otherwise like it has never been touched. I did ask them in the chat if it will be a brand new unit, as I saw it popping up in orders, she assured me it was.
I don't really care as long as it works.
Sorry you had to let go of a good screen. Even my first wasn't going from very bright to very dark. Course, I don't go above 11 or 12 on the light ever.
