I can't say I've seen that myself. > 2. At times I thought I saw some subtle "banding" effects on the > display, but they were very fleeting.

This, however, I can see a variant of. Pressing the Play button, or moving the wheel, or pressing the select button causes an effect where a patch of the display exhibits an effect like touching directly on to it. The patch is vertically just under half way up the screen, and about 2/3 of the way from left to right. The harder you press, the more pronounced it becomes. I would say it was an effect of something pressing the back of the screen as the controller is pressed normally - a see-saw type effect, maybe ? This certainly wasn't an effect on the original remote. -- gerph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gerph's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1819 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43207 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
