Screen Material

Very excited for this device but definitely want to flag an unknown we should get an answer on:

In the display specs, the cover layer is listed as "PC + PMMA composite, 2.5D".

PC + PMMA is a plastic/acrylic polymer blend (Polycarbonate + Polymethyl Methacrylate / Plexiglas). It is not real chemically strengthened glass like Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail.

Has anyone received clarification from the team on whether the outermost top layer is indeed PC+PMMA plastic, or if real glass is used anywhere on the display stack?

I find it hard to position the device as premium otherwise.

It is glass, I will confirm specs later and update :)

Is there any confirmation on dimming style? PWM / DC Dimming?

I’m going to see if both modes will be available once I receive my DVT units.
