Hello,
Product: Sansa Clip Zip
Firmware: 01.01.17
Problem: Album Art is displayed too brightly. It is probably a conflict with the standards of 0-255 and 16-235 brightness levels or a gamma issue. I have a calibrated monitor and proper, quality artwork. Altering the brightness setting of the Clip Zip makes no usuable difference. Areas that should be near black are displayed as gray on the Clip Zip.
Workaround : Increase the contrast of the image in a .jpeg picture editor crushing “near black” to “black”. Even then it’s not really right but just a compensation.
A side note: The muted “album art” background for the FM mixed with the background tan color looks awful and is, in my opinion, useless. It would be nice to select a particular artwork or .jpg for the FM background.
Thank you for your consideration!
