[DuoList] Duo 280c Graphics/Display Granularity

[Tom and Lisa P]

>Hi,
>
>I recently bought a used 280c on ebay and it shows something I have never
>seen before on any Powerbook (or other notebook) I had: The display on the
>screen is a little grainy, so that the menu bar, menus and the desktop look
>slightly chequered. It's *very* slightly on the desktop/menu bar (more
>visible towards the corners), but quite obvious in the menus. It seems to be
>about the same in all colour depths.
>I also have a PB 180c, which has the same display (?), and I cannot see that
>granularity there.
>This is my first duo (although I acquired another one, a 2300c, shortly
>afterwards, which doesn't show that effect), so I don't know if that's
>"normal".
>Does anyone else also know that effect or can positively confirm that the
>graphics chip or display on this particular unit is defective?
>TIA for help.
>
>Alex
