It’s a wonderful device and I own one but lack of screen backlight makes it practically unusable, and at its price point almost vulgarly expensive.
God knows how much I wanted to use and love it but it just started gathering dust in a closet after a week because of this.
- Spinfusor 6mo agoIf it had a backlight, I would have bought one by now.
- stevewodil 6mo agoSometimes I concede on this point with certain devices, but the screen on the playdate basically requires light at a specific angle for it to be at all discernible, so I don't blame you and can't recommend it as a result
- JKCalhoun 6mo agoA kind of tintype display.
- sssilver 6mo agoDo not buy one. You will regret it. Without backlight, it's a gimmick.
- nosrepa 6mo agoUnfortunately, that type of screen cannot be backlit. There are frontlit versions, but they are thicker and would consume a bit more power.
