I have a pair of Echo Gen 2 Show devices and enjoy them a bunch. I bought both at the same time a little over a year ago and they’ve been great. The one in my living room is used a lot more than the one in my office so I kind of expect a bit more degradation on the living room Show. Unfortunately, I wasn’t expecting the screen to “bleed” the white letter overlays. By bleeding, I mean when the Show puts an ad, notification, game result or recommendation up over my background pictures, there are white semi-transparent lines extending from each letter/image to the top of the screen. The white letters are clear and easily readable but the screen wash they create is a bit annoying. I’ve rebooted, reset, etc. but the problem persists. It seems like the video graphic driver for the overlay function is corrupt but I’m not sure. I can’t blame firmware since both Shows are running the same firmware and I can’t blame hardware as the image is great as long as there is no white text overlaying the image/video. Anyone else experience this and did you find a solution other than pitching it in the trash and getting a replacement?
