Z1 MK2 blurrey display

cub.ruhr

I bought the Z1 MK2 controller as a mobile second device for Christmas. What bothered me from the start is that the display is very blurred. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything else about it, but I'm wondering whether this is a general problem or a manufacturing fault. I also have an S4 MK3 controller and the display there (of course, it's more expensive) is much sharper.

Can you guys confirm this or is your display better?

I don't have the z1, just the x1, but it has the same displays. For me the text is much sharper.

I would contact support.

Yes, i can confirm that this is my display too.

However (and while i have both myopia and presbyopia!) I can't see any "blurriness" here.
Indeed, the display could be little more sharp but still, is fine for me…

Mine is the same, I don't like it aesthetically but the led displays don't really give much useful information I don't feel

Same here... X1 and Z1 with these blurry displays.

Mine is blurry when watched from an angle, top down 90 degree it's sharp.

That is very correct indeed.

Obviously, any serious DJ is looking 90 degree (more or less) down when he is playing.

Other people might want to have the device 1-2 meters away, thus, they see "blur" digits, but this, is not a bug.
