The screen is bad

Okay, just setup this device. This is my first Chromebook, but I've been using my tablet primarily for about a month and have come to the conclusion that I don't have to deal with clunky windows. This is a budget device and you can tell by the feel. But I am fine. It's lightweight and very responsive. That's what I want as this device is only for recording, some basic spreadsheets and podcast recording. Easy enough. So it should be clear to you, dear reader, that I am not one of those unreasonable people who are very picky about every technical aspect of a computer, especially at such a low price point. That being said, I have one major problem with this device. The screen resolution is so poor that it is difficult to look at the device for more than a few minutes. It's incredibly grainy, on top of what can be blamed on the anti-reflective protection. You can make the screen brighter, but you CANNOT change the contrast. Come on, contrast isn't a premium feature. As I don't want to deal with sending it back and have work to do I will try to get it working. So far I've installed a night mode app that improved things a bit. Next I will change the desktop. Fingers crossed. I will update this as needed.
