Ghosting issues?

mmmkay · 12-27-2009, 05:56 AM

I am now on my third unit, got a good deal on an open box unit instead, but I am starting to notice significant ghosting on my screen now.

My last unit was actually perfect I'd say. First unit had slight ghosting issues, and this new one is noticeably worse than the first unit.

Granted, this only shows itself when I'm reading PDFs, but it is a little annoying.

I'll probably get used to it eventually

The contrast is a bit higher on this one though, like everything is darker.

So, anyone else notice ghosting on their readers?
Flipping thru a few pages quickly seems to make the problem less apparent and less noticeable too.

All eInk displays exhibit a certain amount of ghosting; it's inherent in the technology.

Some more so than others apparently.
