6000 - Tosa / Screen protectors

« on: May 06, 2004, 09:08:29 pm »

I sent the SL-6000\'s screen measurements to PDAScreenProtectors.com and they sent me two sample G2 screen protectors to test. So G2 screen protectors for the SL-6000 may be available soon.

Here are the screen measurements I sent:

- Width of opening of screen area (edge to edge): 62.25mm
- Height of opening of screen area (edge to edge): 82.25mm
- Amount of tuck-under* of top edge: 2mm
- Amount of tuck-under* of left edge: 1.5mm
- Amount of tuck-under* of right edge: 1.5mm to 2mm (Top to Bottom)
- Amount of tuck-under* of bottom edge: 2.5mm to 3mm (Left to Right)

The samples I got fit pretty well. Has anyone measured their SL-6000\'s screen?
I\'d like to verify the measurements I got.

Maybe we could add some screen measurements to the Zaurus faq to help Zaurus owners who are trying to find screen protectors.

6000 - Tosa / 6000L Outdoor Viewing Tips?

Thanks for the information. This is the first transflective screen I\'ve seen in person. I got the impression from reading Sharp press releases and advertising that the screen would look as good outdoors as it does indoors. I guess the advertising was  a little optimistic.  

I just had the wrong expectations, I guess.

6000 - Tosa / 6000L Outdoor Viewing Tips?

« on: April 10, 2004, 09:20:41 pm »

I just got a 6000L. How is the screen supposed to look while viewing the 6000L in sunlight? I expected the 6000L\'s screen to be bright and easy to read in sunlight. But when I viewed the screen in sunlight, it was about the same as viewing the screen indoors at its lowest brightness setting. I had to hold the screen at just the right angle to see it. If I moved from direct sunlight to a shaded area, the screen was too dark to see. Is this normal for transflective screens? The screen looks great while viewing it indoors with the backlight on. It doesn\'t seem very usable outdoors though. Am I doing something wrong?
