The 1024x600-resolution, 10.1-inch screen is pretty much your typical netbook display, though its capacitive touchscreen causes it to be blanketed in way more fingerprints than your average ASUS Eee PC or HP Mini. Oh, and if Windex or Brasso Gadget Care polish isn't your thing, Tegatech actually sells its own LCD solution and shammy on its site. But we digress, and we know all you really care about is how the capacitive screen performs. Well, the good news is that there are no surprises there -- light taps on the
display are all it takes to make selections and gentle swipes are enough to scroll down the page or browse through pictures. There's also a built-in accelerometer, which is quick to adjust the screen orientation, but like the CTL there's a quick flash of a black screen and at times it distorts the background a bit.
In terms of actual quality of the display, the viewing angles aren't terrible. Slightly tilting the screen backwards when watching a YouTube clip caused some of the colors to distort, but we could still make out what we were looking at and sharing the screen with a friend didn't require us to readjust. The display was adequately bright for watching an episode of Mad Men on Amazon -- we just wish there was an easier way to adjust the brightness than having to dig deep into Win 7 menus. The 1.3 megapixel cam on the upper bezel allowed us to make a clear video call in Skype, but there's no preloaded webcam software for snapping stills or recording local video. We should also mention the small speaker grill on the back of the device produced some decently loud sound for a tablet, but wasn't quite as loud as the iPad when blasting out Usher's "OMG."
