Aspire Archon Screen - Dim and Grainy?

[TikPandora]

I have a bit of a question for anyone with an Aspire Archon or NX75. How are the screens on your devices? I just got my Archon in the mail yesterday and the screen on it is pretty dim, even at max brightness. It also seems to have almost a grain-like shimmer to it as well. It's a far cry from the "bright and beautiful" OLED that the reviews spoke of.

I have the problem with my alien but my aspire archon is fine

If it was something that I could capture in a picture I would, but it looks fine on camera. Ugh...

I havent used my archon in a while (its in my vape stash), but definiately my screen was sharp and bright. I think the plato also shares the same screen and chip.

I actually got in touch with Aspire and fixed the issue. I didn't know there was a way to turn up the screen brightness on the device, which of course solved the problem.

You can turn the brightness up on a lot of mods

The design is almost the same as the Plato (other than the internal tank) but the Plato is a 50W mod, and my understanding was the Archon was a 150W mod. The screens do appear the same, but the boards are probably different. Also, the Plato board only offered TC with Ni and there was no TCR option.

Ah, I see. I'd assumed because all the NX, archon and plato were all around the same time they would have all used the same chipset. If I'd googled the specs of the plato I would have seen it was 80w instead of 75w.

Thankyou for the head-up.

@Eskie i have the aspire archon and its outlasted my alien with less issues, it's so accurate for reading resistance.
