After updating to 4.x screen is blurry.

As stated after I updated my arua h20(no patches at all) when brightness is set above ~50% there's weird patterns showing up on the screen and the fonts don't look great. Images render exactly the same as 3.x but 4.x the fonts are blurry, even when I had the refresh set to 1.

I don't know if this is a bug or something that's rlated to me or something.

I also noticed looking closer there's apparently 1 dead pixel on the screen now and a couple of spots where the screen is more whiteish.

P.S. I've had the thing for ~2-3mo and have never got it wet/claend itwith anyhtign except the cloth that came with it. I only updated to the latest to see if isues would be lessened but apparently that's _not_ the case. Brightnes up max the text is less clear and blurry, like I can see the text but it's blurrier now than before imes are the same only text. Even built in fonts display this way.

Go to that link for the new firmware 4.3.8872 and see if that fixes the problem.

This sounds like the same issue I'm having with ghosting on my Aura HD with the 4.whatever firmware. I know that it's been like this since at least the last 2 updates. I can force a refresh by tapping to bring up the menus and then going back to the page, but that's *really* annoying.
