… the Adam’s viewing angles are terrible. Approach it from any angle but head-on and either the whites or blacks wash out, and if you tilt it to the left everything begins to turn a sickly yellow. The colors are also a bit washed out, and if you’re a fan of deep, inky blacks you’d best look somewhere else, as the best the Adam can do is a shade of noisy purple.
I wondered why more manufacturers haven’t snapped up the Pixel Qi screen. That seems to explain why.
A bad screen on a tablet is just a curse. The Archos 101 I saw was just horrible and this seems to be a similarly miserable experience.
Yow. Sounds like some people are going to have a lot more explaining to do.
Apparently the screen is just not as good as Pixel Qi has stated and that’s why no one else is adopting it.

Notion Ink did not implement the latest Pixel Qi with wide viewing angles, high resolution and full IPS-level color mode. I(t’s not a small Indian startup shipping few hundreds of units who is going to get access to the latest mass manufactured Pixel Qi technology, obviously.
Still, this doesn’t explain why no other manufacturer has chosen the screen. Even the ZTE Light out of China apparently shipped with a regular LCD instead of the Pixel Qi as announced months ago.
