    Hey, guys I took some pictures to show you guys how bad this netbook is displaying colors (especially red) and I need to know if anyone else out there has the same problem? I used dead pixel buddy on both lappys. The asus is on the right.

    Any current 1000HE users having this same color inaccuracy problems?

    I need to know if all are like this or if only my screen is.
    Thanks.

    Well, comparing it to an RGBLED screen won't do the tiny netbook's screen any favors :p

    LOL. I know, but even though, should it really be that orangish?? It looks really bad in person.

    Well, that is what cheap TN monitors look like.

    actually something IS wrong. For sure, netbooks actually have really good screens and high contrast at that. So yes can you give more pictures of other colors or is it just the red thats bad?

    perhaps try a return for faulty screen? TN screens are bad, but not THAT bad.
