I believe that the ipod, from various reviews I've read, has been manufactured in such a way that this problem does not affect the screen. I just checked mine, and it seems quite viewable from all angles during both menu navigation and movie playback.

I haven't noticed anything like that. I've played movies on my ipod and everything looks fine.

Honestly looked the same to me, the screen does look much darker. I felt my power consuntion is higher. Glossy side tends to reflect the office light so is not the screen but the angle and light blocking from person attempt to peek from your back while walking. Sitting down both side lookef the same to me

Yes, it has perfect color even at wide angles. As you near parallel it gets darker as any screen does, but one of the better ones I have seen

I haven't noticed it. The only image related issues I notice are the blurring of the corners of the screens (due to the nature of the adjuster glass that you must look through). The image is actually VERY clear and sharp in the center.

The display is clear, it may just be a defect in yours or something with the settings.

If you look really closely at the screen when it's off and dark you can see a grid but only barely and I never notice it. When the screen is on it looks as good as the original. I don't know if that what you mean but I'm more than happy with mine!

The screen is not that fancy. But is off center. I have not seen the customer picture but mine is off center and it is a tan background with black letters.

The monitor only has two positions, open and closed. When open, it is only at that same angle that you see pictured. It seems like a good angle for general use, and all of the reviews say the viewing angles of the screen are very good, although I haven't seen it for myself. I am also wondering whether the limitation has been problematic for anyone who has used the device for a while.

Yes, the screen has good viewing angles, it fades a bit but only at a drastic angle . It is a high gloss screen so it tends to catch a lot of glare but nothing serious enough to compromise the awsomeness of this computer. I really, really enjoy working with this unit. Hope this helps.

The screen is really small and very dark. My daughter doesn't really like it because she can't see it. I hope this helps

HiThank you for your interest.It's glossy screen like Apple cinema display.Thanks.

No, it's not dark at all. But keep in mind that people think their screens are "brighter" if they use a clear reflective protector. This is a matte protector, and it's anti-glare, so it doesn't reflect light (which is good for your eyes!). Therefore, the screen may appear "darker." But it's not a problem at all.

Looks like this was answered below. I will say that I don't use this anymore. You can't see the screen because of the glare. It's even worse is you use polarized sunglasses.

There are slight reflections depending on the lighting in the room. The screen is like a matte finish and not shiney. We have ours in a finished basement with light coming in from the glass block and I can see the reflection of the windows slightly. Nothing major that affects the picture. We are quite pleased with it. Hope this answers your question. Also it is self adjusting to the lighting around it. Last night I began watching a program (had just turned the tv on) and I thought it looked too dark. Within seconds the tv adjusted itself so that the picture was perfect, color and brightness.

When I first turned mine on, I had a lighter 'frame' about 1" around the edge of the display that was visible on a black or dark screen. It eventually went away, but now there's a little bit more concentration of light along the left bottom edge but only slightly noticeable. I've seen the same kind of 'stage lights' effect with a retina iPad, so it's probably normal.

It's "frosty" I would say--you can still see the shape of the apple through the screen when lit up but it is not clear like looking through a glass. The color of the cover you're using will give it that opaque/cloudy look.

Infrared that you can see IF you look right at it... Some have Black IR that is nothing but a sunglass type screen on it, but this does not! The camera and flash rotate from right to left as you look at it, taking a set of 3 pictures to make the panoramic picture. Again, unless you are looking directly at it, you don't notice it, and the rotation is silent as well as the picture taking.
