So far so bad

Didn't have high hopes but first checks are terrible. I can salvage some things in Photoshop, but not to any extent. For example, the highlights are washed out to look like yellow dirt (see attached photo). The main problem is that there is no way adjust the scanner settings to solve lighting problems. First thoughts: PROS: Very easy and quick to set up and use, no computer required, connects to TV via HDMI so you can view your slides on a big screen, SD card not included but easy to find and very cheap, screen decent size for viewing on a device. You can feed slides continuously (no need to open the device and load 3 more into the holder at a time), although they still need to be pushed one at a time. CONS: Image quality is poor. Permission control is a sham, there is no real control over it. Sharpness is questionable. Conclusion: too expensive for what it is. Unfortunately, there are no alternatives in this price range. It remains the decision to keep or return. screen on a decent device.
