Suunto screen ghosting

[timothyk]

I just received my Suunto D6 dive computer and am very disappointed with the quality of the display. I cannot say that I have ever seen such heavy ghosting in a similar wrist worn device. It is at its worst when looking at the screen from an angle a couple of degrees under 90 (the angle you are most likely to use when it is on your wrist). I contacted Suunto customer service and sent an image but they said that this is normal and it will fade as the battery charge is reduced. Personally i find it appalling that i can view a better displays at the local swatch store, but perhaps i am just being critical.

Have any other D6 owners experienced similar with their devices?

have you tried turning down the contrast on the screen i have had similiar issues with other lcd screens and doing that helped greatly

I agree.
I think there's a problem either with the screen itself or the way it was assembled is creating pressure against the LCD.
