Just curious how many here have been a tad unsatisfied with the quality control of Sony's LCD on the PCM-M10?
So far I've seen 2 units with display anomalies I have never seen on a monochrome LCD before,
let alone any Sony product, so I've decided to put this out there to gauge how many units are suffering from this. It seems they are having quality control issues on such a (seemingly) basic part of the device (if my experience is anything to go by).
Here's what I'm talking about (look for the brighter spots):
It's only noticeable when the unit is in a fairly dark environment and the backlight is on. Otherwise, the unit in daylight is
perfectly fine.
The last pic has a slightly darker patch pretty close to the brighter spot, too. Maybe at this point I'm looking for faults, but those brighter spots are very noticeable and IMO shouldn't make it past the factory door.
What I have noticed (as a general observation and perhaps feedback to Sony) is that the whiter spots have varied in size and position on the two diffrerent units I've seen this on; they have been on different areas of the display and are not exactly the same shape on each of them. This particular unit has two such brighter spots, whereas the other unit I saw it on had just the one (but it was larger).
Both were bought from separate retailers.
I would not even mention this had I not seen it on
two different units, so I'm guessing it may be fairly common (or I'm just unlucky, hah!).
Anyone else seen this?
