New EEVblog BM786 Multimeter
joeqsmith:
The my 789 appears to have about the same contrast is the 786s. Shown with the lab light, backlights on and outdoors. Angle will make a big difference as well. Sometimes when comparing so many meters, I have to tilt them just right to get a decent shot.

I don't understand why all these fancy meters aren't be as contrasty as a freebie DT830B. What gives? :-//
(eg. are the freebies overdriving something so that the display won't last very long?)

When you have many segments on the display the contrast will be lower, due to the way they are scanned.

Hello,
So, I have sent back the BM789 and have the refund of it.
Also, I have found an youtube video from Dave which shows the solution to fix the LCD contrast on the BM235, @9min39s:
As the BM789 has exactly the same chipset, like I was thinking previously, the resistor for the contrast setting is not good.
Maybe someone would try to change the value and probably fix the issue ?
EEVblog:
Got a BM786 returned with a reported fluctating low value on ohms, never gets to zero, continuity buzzer going off on it's own etc. Touching range switch causes some change. Completely repeatable.
I test the meter and absolutely nothing wrong. Switch contamination that got wiped away? :-//
