Subject: Re: [NTLK] Any solutions for a dull screen?
On my 2100 I notice that the screen is darker than my 120 even when
they are both switched off. It can't get any lighter, only darker, when
it's on. So on my 2100, the contrast is never as good as it is on the
120, and I don't think there are any tweaks that can improve it. Of
course, turning on the backlight makes the background lighter and
improves the contrast.
So how do others with multiple Newtons think they compare? Are your
screens about the same brightness (power off) or does the 2100 look
darker?
