    I pretty much had the same experience when I first received mine and yes the screen is amazing.(bright and clear) once I got mine I made sure it had everything I ordered in it and loaded up GTA:SA and tested it out. I played for a bit but had to stop just too look at it in awe. Have fun with you purchase!
