I purchased a new 4 GB model (closeout) to replace my 4GB refurb model.
I had to return the refurb (1 day outside of 14 day price guarantee) so as to get a refund (minus the 10% restocking fee). The new lower price was a "closeout" model.
Anyway, I have noticed a significant difference in the clarity of the screen. The display on the refurb model was crystal clear. The screen on the new one seems more washed out. Not bad, but definitely not as bright and clear as the other one.
Another difference I noticed is the new one does not have a slight recess where you plug it into the holder. The refurb model I had you could definitely feel the recess. Also the holder socket is raised about twice as much on the new model.
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the difference in the clarity of the screen. My guess is that it is either by a different manufacturer or they switched to a price reduced screen.
I want my refurb model back!
