pixel qi installed on NB30 european version |

the exchange of the original display with the pixel qi one was easy, as described everywhere : the connector was placed at the same place, so no problem. The NB30 I have was provided with a TOUCHSCREEN, wich was glued with thermoglue to the original screen ; so in order to keep it, I removed all the glue that was between the screen and the glass touchscreen. I did it with a very sharp knife (a scalpel) very carefully, because the touchscreen is really fragile. Took me 3 whole hours to remove it all !
I cleaned the touchscreen, put some double sided tape around it (2 layers, to have the same space between the touchscreen and the pixel qi display !)
and mounted it back in the netbook, and voila !
3 stars only, because I bought this screen to use it most of the time with backlight off, but the contrast is too bad to use it indoor with poor light. B&W mode is only usefull when put under sunshine ! (maybe the extra layer due to the touchscreen doesn't help with the contrast ratios...)

Samsung NB30 + Fedora 13, very happy |

Purchased a new samsung NB30 to install the pixel qi display. Installation was pretty easy, only requiring a 000 phillips head screwdriver and some gentle prying to remove the front cover of the display. You have to move the mounting brackets from the original display, but that only involves a few more screws. Took about 15 minutes (stubby fingers + small screws are a bad combination).
Display is beautiful. It would be nice to have better contrast when the backlight was off, but this is a first generation device and it performs exactly as advertised.
I'm running Fedora 13 which performs very well on the netbook (I also upgraded to 2GB RAM, but Fedora was doing fine with the factory 1GB). Fedora does not have built-in support for most of the Fn key combinations, including the ones to adjust brightness and toggle the backlight. The instructions on this page show how to enable these features using a few shell scripts:

Pixel Qi / Samsung NB30 |

5 stars in my case - no pixel error - and the proper 40 pin connector. While the display change does take longer than 5 min - it is definitely worth the effort. The result is a glimpse to the future of displays.
Thanks MakerShed and Pixel Qi!

Great screen, but..... |

This screen is amazing, clear, and bright. The direct sunlight viewing really has to be seen to be believed.
Installation was a snap in my Aspire One D250. From doorstep to installed took less than 20 minutes. As mentioned in this site's forums, the Acer doesn't like to keep the backlight off (Fn+F6 only turns it off until you use the trackpad or hit a key) but I knew that going in.
If I like the screen, then why only 3 stars?
Unfortunately when I went to turn on the screen today (I installed it yesterday, and it worked beautifully), there was a single "hot" pixel right smack in the middle of the screen, which is disappointing. Honestly I think a white dot is better than a black one(dead pixel), but still....
I understand that this is basically a production sample without warranty, and I'm pleased with every other aspect, but I can't help but be bummed.
If the hot pixel was somewhere off to the side, 4 stars, if there wasn't one at all, 5 stars no question.
