OK, now I can clearly see the difference.
It is like there was a layer of "something" in front of the display. It make is really GREEN and Dark.
When I look at the display with it turned off, it has a very dark green color. It looks like a grass field, maybe even darker.
Mine
Vs yours...
It is grayish and even though the contrast itself isn't greatest, I still can clearly see everything.
In this one I can clearly see everything.
I understand that the contrast isnt all that good. But in order to use the device I have to move it around, open the lid, close the lid, twist, until I can find an angle that I can read. Then I have to get very close to be able to differentiate the letters.
Note: Yes, I use glasses, but its not all that much hehehe
Here is another picture comparing 3 different displays. By any chance, do you have a 48G to compare?
I have a strong feeling that something got darker inside, in one of the layers. Maybe it got exposed to sunlight.. maybe temperature through the years... not sure.
