The Aceeca Meazura review – the Meazura’s screen

We covered the size of the Aceeca Meazura a few days ago – and as in every Palm OS device review, the screen should be looked at next. The Aceeca Meazura’s most obvious ‘deficiency’ is the monochrome screen – yes, the Meazura has a 4bit 160×160 screen. Now the fact is out – let’s see what the screen can do.

First of all – all I say here is probably moot in a few weeks from now, as the current display will be replaced by a different type soon, due to RoHS requirements.

Anyways, the Meazura’s screen does a good job outdoors and in decent light – however, the m500 on the right still seems to have a slightly lighter background:

Indoors, the Meazura’s backlight is very bright(vs m500):

The backlight mode can be selected simply – there’s a toggle for backlight inversion in the prefs.

Overall, the Meazura’s screen is ok, it reminds me of classic IIIx style displays. Its difficult to say anything positive or negative about it.
