Alarm bells always go off for me when a vendor, as here, blatantly Photoshops an idealized perfectly black, flat, and non-reflective mockup image of what would be displayed onto the picture of the real display.


If it is oled it will be a perfectly black background.


The author of the article admits he's never actually seen the item he's reviewing. The pictures are from the manufacturer.

It may be a cool gadget, but it may be vaporware and/or blogspam.


… or the real thing powered on and operating may actually look bad and people would not buy it if they knew what reading it would be like in practice.


All LCD vendors do that.
