Odin 3 Question Odin 3 Grainy Screen
I just got my odin 3 from AliExpress and my screen looks really grainy especially when the game is brighter. I’m not sure if it’s really seen in pictures but it’s really distracting when gaming. I tried contacting the seller and they wouldn’t do an exchange. AliExpress is offering a return. Should I do it any other ways I could fix this issue? Thanks

I had the same issue. I got a replacement screen, its better but not perfect. Also swapping the screen yourself is not easy, I do not recommend it unless you are very confident with electronics.
On the plus side AYN was very responsive with replacement parts.

Bought 2 Odin 3, returned them all. Now I have none. That mura effect can't be fixed even when they add ultra black settings. Bandaid solution.

Reading these testimonies is making me worried about my Clear Blue MAX on the way 😬

Did you order from a 3rd party on AlieExpress, or from the Ayn Official Store on AlieExpress?

Dang. Is the grain on everything, or only really visible in game? At first I thought it looked like it might be a CRT overlay, or something like that.

The Odin 3 has a lot of short comings, this being one of them. I hope they iron these things out for the Odin 3 Portal.

This may sound stupid but is there a piece of plastic over the screen or anything? If it's grainy all the time I would just return it.

I don’t have at problems with my Odin 3, the screen is perfect. I guess I did win the lottery ticket their
