If someone has a solution for the ergonomics' issues please post :)

Perhaps. But also perhaps picking nits.  ;)

I'll remind you that my original post which prompted this round of arguing and photo investigation merely stated:

...due to the (camera) viewing angle...the DS1000Z screen looks slightly more washed-out than normal

So after much arguing and photographing we may have come to some consensus  :) :
- the 1074 is smaller (duh)
- the 1074 looks (a bit more) washed out, mostly due to the green subpixels leaking
- the 1074 looks a bit less sharp because of a combination of (smaller) pixelsize and distortion of the glass in front of the pixels, and _possibly_ because of the different subpixel configuration
-and pa3bca is still happy with the quality of the 1074Z's screen

Agreed  :-+

I would like to thank marmad and pa3bca for the effort spent on lcd panels analysis.

The pa3bca macros confirmed my suspicions : the DS1000Z  screen pixel sharpness is quite low, in mine opinion mainly due to its odd subpixel structure, that inevitably renders a blurred pixel contour.

Judging from your photos,  in my opinion the overall DS2000's screen readability is a lot better  than DS1000Z one.

In the mean time i found a way to reduce a little the eye fatigue with mine DS1074Z : shed some light with a table lamp directly on its screen.

Still far from what i want, but enough for brief usage.

mamalala:

From the images, it seems that the DS1000Z screen uses a different subpixel layout for the RGB triplets, and an alternating one at that. You can see that the thin lines appear jagged, in a regular zig-zag like pattern, while on the DS2000 screen they look straight and just dotted. This will likely contribute to the impression of a washed-out/blurry display when viewed at some normal distance, since the pixels for the lines appear to not be in the same  row.

Greetings,

Chris
