Apple confirm issues with some iPod Touch screen
Apple has confirmed widespread reports complaining at the manner in which the iPod touch displays video with deep black areas, warning that some early units have “defective screens”.
At issue are reports claiming that video playback on the iPod touch is significantly darker than on the iPhone, suggesting inferior screens are deployed on the former unit, and reducing the value of the video playback experience.
For example, dark scenes in the classic Roman Polanski film, Chinatown, were really dark – lacking detail that the iPhone nicely detailed. Mossberg’s otherwise glowing review observes, “my two test units displayer beautiful images”.
