OK, I know commenting on the quality of a display through another display is fairly pointless (like watching a commercial for HD on an SDTV), but every pic I've seen of this thing makes the screen look pretty terrible. Which confuses me, because not only have Engadget been praising it, but they've also been saying it's a photographer's dream. It just seems like color saturation and contrast are just very sub-par. Of course, I'm hoping I'm wrong, because this tablet sounds awesome on paper. Is it just me? Should I stop worryin?
@Levi Are you referring to the standard video or the high contrast video on the Adam? The high contrast video mode is washed out, it's nearly grey-scale. That's so it can be read in sunlight. The standard video is supposed to be very crisp with full color saturization.
@jsevans Perhaps all of the shots have been taken while the devices are in the battery saving/sunlight viewing modes, and that's why they all look washed up to me. I hope it turns out nice
