BOOX M Series eReader - Nook Color General

This looks like a pretty cool new device with a nice screen. Does anyone have any more specs/pricing besides whats in this article? It looks like it has HDMI out. I don't really like how it has a bezel and then a black border inside that before you get to the screen. I guess its confusing though because the four pictures that Slashgear has are of different devices when you look closely. The fact that it supposedly only has 800mhz processor, might keep the price down on it.

Whoever reported this info is way off in the weeds somewhere.
"features an E-Ink Vizplex display. The E-Ink display has a 8/16-level grayscale"
All of the pictures are of a color screen.
Here is a more believable picture.

Yeah I saw the onyx site too. That along with pics of two different devices in the article has me scratching my head. I took my nook back today and opened two new ones at B&N but they had bad flickering, so I'm currently nookless.
The Notion Ink Adam really has my interest for a supposed $375.

I don't have the flicker problem, or don't notice it. Anyway, there is a fix for that. There is a thread here or on Androidtablets that shows you how to increase the refresh rate of the NC.

Man looks good but I'd love to see bigger pics of it
Hey looks awesome. Got the same one. Only diff is I got mine from Skinome. Love it.

Is it a thick case like thing? Or is it more of a scratch proof film?
Looks preety nice though, how much did it run?
Got the exact same skin. Ireally like it that i had to reorder it when i got my phone replaced.
Installation tips. Leave the tiny bubbles alone. Theyll go away after a while. Dont be over zealous with pushing them out. To much preasure during the installation causes stretchmarks to appear on the film. Thats about my only critique of the thing.
Once its all set up... its perfect.
@caiaphas
Its a non-scratch film for the screen and non-scratch sticker for the rest. So it doest add match to the size of you device.
Phantom also sells the the full film kit for both body+screen. I do really like the look of the carbon-fiber body stickers.
Just go with the black though, dont be tempted with the white.... it might look good in theory but unless your phone is actually white, its not gonna look good
i dont need a signature
here is a larger of one of them. Looks good to me!
Thin cover. Stick on film. $29.99

One of the best mods ever done to my Shift. Has kept it protected and looks great. Plus it doesn't make the phone bulkier, like the snap on cases do.

Pictures of screen for comparison

I can't help but feel I am imagining the washed out effect I see on my N7, perhaps I am just too used to the amoled saturation. Thought pictures of my N7 looking like others would help me feel better about it. Feel free to show if yours looks any different! Of course now that I'm looking at the pic I just took it doesn't show much difference, but in person it does.
Both at 75% brightness:

I'm personally happy with the screen on the Nexus7. You can't compare it to a Super AMOLED+ screen though. The latter is much better quality with a higher contrast ratio.
I do notice some light bleeding around the edge, but I can live with that. Watching movies, everything looks great.
No point in other people posting pictures of their Super AMOLED phones vs Nexus 7.
AMOLED = Much more vivid colors.
And yes, the Nexus 7 will look 'washed out'
Why is it that this tablet is the least expensive contender on the market and the screen is NOT better than the highest end most expensive table screen?

As far as screens, your comparing Mercedes quality (tablet) to Bentley quality (samoled gnex).

Yeah. Sorry for the sarcasm. It just bugs me. I love this thing. Everytime I interact with it I am pleasantly surprised.
i have nothing to add to this thread except that the OP's camera sucks.

hah, it is an ipad camera...does suck indeed. I just wanted a little reassurance that it's normal, all good. I'm cool with it, just wanted to make sure I'm in the norm. Have no one around to compare to.

Pillow talk, anyone?

To my surprise, I've gotten used to snuggling up with my Nexus 7 instead of a book to wind down at night. Currently in middle of Season Three (I think) of Northern Exposure. It works quite well to defuse stress.
My problem is that I need something to prop up the tablet. I've tried to prop it on some cushions with other cushions or a book to hold it in place, but it slips down constantly. I have an easel-style stand, and one of the Poetic cases that sort of folds into a stand (but doesn't stay put), but what I really need is a pillow. I even went to try the one being hawked on TV at the moment (the "GoGo Pillow"), and the design would work, but it's too big for the 7" Nexus and not adjustable. I've seen some similar designs, some of which clearly won't accommodate a 7" tablet but others that look like they'd work.
The most promising looks to be the Lap Pro on Amazon, but I'd love to hear a personal recommendation if anyone's tried one of these or a similar product.
Does anyone have a solution that works for this very first-world problem? Next up, why does Whole Foods leave the feta in the salad bar in such big unmanageable chunks? :laugh:
Wasn't entirely sure how you have your tablet from what I read.
Do you prefer to watch it while lying down? On your side? On your stomach?
Or do you sit while you doze off? Personally I have this case (rooCASE Multi-Angle) which would be helpful if you have it laying next to you on your side. In addition, I love it when you are working on a desk, as it gives you that angled look without having to hold it up. Not only that, it's pretty thick, and I carry various stuff like the crazy college kid I am, but know the tablet can take a beating and a good dropping while in my book bag.
I know it's out of stock but there are many cases like it. I think you can find a very similar one made by poetic.
Hope this helps out. :fingers-crossed:
I found this on google, I thought it might be interesting!

Something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...let_Mounts_Stands_Holders&hash=item2587de5534
I have a couple of these, one at work and one at home, fits the N7 perfectly and the angle is completely adjustable.
This is useful
Thanks for sharing this / Thought it is a simple search in google / It made me to understand what a Pillow Talk is

The smooth back matte panel can easily get damaged, a case is a good idea on this phone, but the most annoying flaw, and I'm guessing its hardware since the GNEX had the same issue and it did not get fixed with software updates. Compared to the N4 is quite noticable.

Am I reading this right? You were expecting the easily damaged back panel of the GNex to get fixed with a software update?

Pinkish tint when tilting the phone?

Hello! I have noticed that my device is changing color when tilting the phone in different angles. It gets a slight pinkish/reddish tint and I wonder if everyone has this or if my screen is bad and if I should get the phone replaced? I took a video of it but it doesn't really show as much in the video as it does IRL. It's much more noticeable IRL. I can't add the video here due to XDA rules.
So, is this normal or should I get it replaced?
My s10 plus doesnt do this hmmm, do you run it on wqhd? See if that makes a difference if not I reccomend taking it back

It happens no matter the settings I use. Tried vivid turned to cool, tried to turn down the red color etc etc. It's only noticeable on a white/grey background. Like in the Gmail. I guess I'll try to get it replaced.

Seems like it's a common issue. Not sure if it's actually normal tho? A friend of mine has almost none of this issue on his. I also took a picture of it showing quite a lot of the issue.

I can see green edges if I tilt the phone.
