I have a week 38 that drop-shipped to Best Buy just this morning, and it's perfect.

I had week 37 and the problem was obvious once you see what it's supposed to look like.

There are a couple of people at Macrumors that say they've got bad week 38 iPods. I got one today after having a bad week 36 and a bad week 37.

The week 38 is great.

I think that any bad 38s are flukes at this point and not the norm.

just picked up a 38 at bestbuy and it looks good so far. the black looks okay...planning to add the movie Underworld for a better test. No dead pixels and no hissing on the sound.

Not all 37s are bad. I'd recommend checking it against a week 38 before investing time in an exchange.

ok, I just ran the Jay-Z album art test, I load it on the ipod touch and on my PSP, ipod touch is terrible can not see anything ( only the label and b/w advisory part shows) maybe turn my head I see something, but on my PSP very clear in all angel, this is bad.

I purchased a week 38 from Best Buy this morning. After comin home and syncing everything, I checked a video, and didn't notice any problems. I love the Touch.

I received my week 38 today, no problems what so ever. I was going to purchase a iPod touch then I read about the bad screens. Now, it seems like Apple has started using better screens. I looked at some of the screen issues and my touch doesn't have them so I think mine is fine.

my week37 picked up on Friday looks just fine to me. i can't tell if it's "perfect" since I don't have a second one to compare it to, but it's black enough blacks for my taste. :D

Quick question about the screen. Just added the Jay'z album what I am suppose to look for? The only thing that I cant see on the album is Jay'z neck. Anyone else? Compare the album on both my notebook and touch and my touch is not looking so good

Hi Whats the best way to check if you have a faulty display is their a default picture of movie scene to load. Also what level brightness does this happen at.

Thanks

My Week 38 is a vast improvement over the early Week 37 I had.
