I'm almost sure of it, George.  The display is just too crisp.  Even
comparing it with other LCD that are supposed to be 32 shades, my Zeos
386-20 is the firm winner.

You can say that again!!!!

I think you may have a display problem, George.  I have examined my display
in various light conditions and at various intensities... No such problem
with the middle of the screen being light and the corners dark.
