    To all A6JC users:

    As I can't find any reviews on this site - could You tell me something about screen of A6JC? What about viewing angle? Colors? brightness? contrast?

    Maybe you have some pics of this screen in action (with dark colors etc.) ?

    I was hoping to see it live, but actually no shop in the neigbourhood got it in stock.

    BTW. What about heat/noise? I have heard it seems to be quite silent...

    hehe, as I remember You've written : "Zdjec nie wrzuce ale wiem ze A6j ma SPDIf" , You are taking me for somebody else.. But wait.. in the another topic You promised A6j screen pics to another guy, so 'll wait too.
    ;) I guess A6j series are equipped with the same lcd. ;) 'cause I am interested in a6jC- I do not play games, so GF7300 will be enough ;)

    taken from angles 15, 35, 65 respectively (approx.)

    these photos do NOT do justice, im not sure why the camera is picking up so much glare, backlight leak, and poor viewing angle but the viewing angle is about 45 on each side before colour distorts. brightness, and contrast should not be worried because of the glare screen and it is much sharper and brighter than anything u'll find on a gateway and compaq at the local bestbuy. again, i believe it is the glare screen that gives it a crystal sharp image throughout the whole range of colours

    edit: i took another picture in autocad to show u black background. again, it is NOTHING like that in real life but u can kinda see how sharp the black is on the upper right corner. when i'm looking at it in real life, the black is deep and wet looking like a clean black car

    there are more important things than a camera for me right now :p
    at least he has something to look at

    it could also be the angle i'm holding my camera, i think this one is a little better

    again, pleae forgive my camera

    You really cant get to much of an idea from a screen from camera pics. Especially if the camera is set to auto. You need to adjust the ISO and shutter speed to get a picture that is close to what the eye sees in person. If not done right a pic can make the screen look worse than it really is.

    And I think you can't judge the screen with nothing other than your own eyes (do I write it correctly?)

    You are right. The only thing you can really tell from pics is how even a screens back lighting is. and sometimes viewing angles if its possitioned right. but its hard to get an accurate idea.

    I agree with you guys, but unfortunatelly unless I have visited 7 stores , they had no a6jc in stock even a6ja was unavailable ...
    But I guess it has LCD quite similar to Fujitsu Amilo Pi 1536 (T2300) - which I have seen and regarding to many online reviews I read - its specs are almost the same (angles/brightness/contrast) .. ;)
