Particularly about the screen, the display quality of Onetouch Pop 7 must say, is very modest. The low resolution 7 “TFT panel, the pixel density is just average, makes Onetouch Pop 7 a little more of a barrier to Test Labs’ visibility. Throughout the experiment, image clarity was generally low. The default character encapsulation in the machine settings menu and the application name is slightly obscure because of blur and jagged edges. Test Lab tests almost always have to choose to enlarge the default font size for easier viewing in examinations rendered in a browser.
The 7″ screen panel gives the colors less glitter; white tends to be green. The contrast of the screen is also less restrictive when showing the color shift of the gray range. Some of the other colors, such as crimson, fresh yellow, and cyan, also look less fresh than they are.

The back of the machine is also cool when operating continuously in a temperature range of 28 degrees Celsius.
