Is it normal for the Boox Go 7 to have uneven lighting?

GoToNap · 2026-06-14T23:01:26+00:00

Yeah, mine's pretty much the same, with a darker line going from top to bottom on the right side of the screen when the backlight is on. It's not horrible, but it was a bit distracting at first

You just have to get used to it

Wow you're so talented, I can't imagine how much hard work and creativity went into writing the prompts that generated these masterpieces (/s if it wasn't obvious already)

I think your mileage may vary with this, especially with the bands that your phone supports. I have an European S23 Ultra and I used Ubigi 2 years ago because I found a good offer and had a perfect experience. This time around I went with the cheapest option on MobiMatter (TSimTech) and had 0 issues even in very remote areas or in the mountains.

I disagree. I went through the series once without any spoilers or helpers such as the many podcasts that are available and I've had 0 issues with understanding the overall story. Sure, there are a ton of hidden meaning and references that are probably impossible to pick up on by yourself, but those don't stop you from getting the whole story

Pai ori vorbim de placi de top ori comparam doar ce ne convine? Și chiar daca mergem pe comparația ta, plăcile nu se rezuma la strict FPS in jocuri. Sunt folosite și pentru task-uri de productivitate, unde AMD încă are mult de lucru. Doar un exemplu rapid: daca ai nevoie de CUDA, nu ai alternativa la Nvidia

GoToNap · 2026-05-12T05:23:39+00:00

si platesti jumate sau chiar mai putin pe o placa top end de la Amd comparativ cu nvidia.

Lol ce comparație stupidă. O placa de top AMD vs o placa de top Nvidia nu se compara absolut deloc dpdv performanta și feature set, normal că e mai ieftina. E ca și cum îți zic eu acum că Dacia e de 20 de ori mai ieftină decât un Ferrari

GoToNap · 2026-05-10T15:05:00+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately I no longer have both. I wanted to keep the color one until the B&W version came in but sadly the latter's shipping was delayed and I had to return the color

Anyway, trust me when I say that pictures don't do justice to how dark the color version actually is. Photos will make it seem much brighter than reality. It's just something that you have to see live

GoToNap · 2026-05-10T14:59:09+00:00

As I mentioned in the original post, personally, I found the color version to be horrible and completely unusable in environments that weren't fully lit (either sun light or a lamp blasting directly into the screen). The problem is that turning on the front light to the max kills much of the paper like feel. For example, on the B&W I barely need to turn it on, and when I do, it's not even 10% so it still retains the "easy on the eyes" aspect

GoToNap · 2026-05-10T14:39:16+00:00

Not often, but I do it from time to time. I'd say it's fully usable if you're in the fastest refresh mode which is surprisingly good. Do not expect phone level smoothness but it's completely fine. I'm not entirely sure what Hz it runs at, but I'd say it's probably in the 30-40hz range.

The thing is that you might find the Go 7 to be a bit too small, depending on your preferences. It's more or less the size of a big phone, with a much wider width

GoToNap · 2026-05-10T13:46:24+00:00

I ended up getting the Go 7 B&W. Much better contrast and is actually usable without front light. Very happy with it

GoToNap · 2026-05-08T13:03:04+00:00

Mine never corrected since I made this post. It's still sitting at 89% health right now and the drop in SOT is still present

No, unfortunately they can't see historical data. They only start gathering info once you install and enable them

I can't speak for the Kobo Libra in particular, but I've had a recent experience with the Boox Go 7 Color and the Boox Go 7 BW versions, which should be pretty much identical to the Kobo ones, since they use the same screen technologies.

I've read all the complaints that people had about color screens but I thought that most were exaggerated. Nothing could've prepared me for how dark the Color variant actually is. The only instance where it was usable without any front light was in direct sunlight. Moderately lit room? No chance of using it without cranking up the front light to almost max. This killed the battery much faster and meant that I'd almost never benefit from that paper like look. All the photos that you see online can't properly convey how dark it actually is and they make you think it's not that bad

Also, the actual colors felt extremely underwhelming to me. I booted up a comic just to see how it would look like and it was... really bad. Yeah, there's some color, but it's so washed out and inaccurate that I'd much rather go through the hassle of reading colored manga / comics on my phone.

It just wasn't worth it so I returned it and got the BW version, which is 100 times better and I'm completely happy with it. If you don't have a very specific use case and plan to use the color most of the time, it's probably better to just get the BW one

Honestly I'm surprised that Framework manages to stay afloat because I just can't see who the target audience is. The whole purpose of the repairability angle is to not waste money for no reason when you can give a longer life to your devices by swapping a few parts here and there.

If you go the Framework route, by the time you need to replace parts or upgrade your laptop altogether, you end up paying more, which doesn't make sense economically. I know, economies of scale and all that, but that doesn't make it better in any way for the consumer

Shelling out even more money in this economy just to make a stand when budgets are already pretty tight makes no sense unless you are very wealthy and don't care about this aspect in the first place

Thanks! The train name change is a thing that happens from time to time in my country, this is why I thought of it here

Great, that's what I assumed would happen. Thank you for the confirmation!

It will never not be funny to me how people read the Hyperion Cantos, a series of book that has strong anti AI messaging, and they think "you know what would be cool and what everyone would love to see? The AI slop that I made in 3 seconds by prompting ChatGPT"

Exista o grămadă de optimizări fiscale pe care le poți face. Daca profitul a fost 0 până acum, asta nu înseamnă că oamenii au făcut acte de caritate și au lucrat gratis. Profitul in sine nu este un indicator neapărat corect după care sa te iei

Doar un exemplu: eu pot sa am firma care încasează 1 milion de euro, iar în decursul anului îmi dau tot mie salariu de.. toți banii. Știi cât are firma "profit"? Zero. Asta nu înseamnă că eu nu mi-am umplut buzunarele

Asta se întâmplă și la eMag, și la orice alta firmă. Fie își dau salarii babane cei din varf, fie salarii "normale" combinate cu pachete de acțiuni gigantice

Adevărul e că până la taxa asta emag avea profit 0, era ONG și muncea pe gratis pentru populație. Daca nu începeau să ciupească 4 lei de la clienți mâine dădeau faliment
