it doesn't have one of those screens with the big, haphazardly-arranged pixels

I always sort them with bubble sort

If you use some sandpaper you can get them to align nicely. Star woth higher grits and work down, first do some vertical passes, then horizontal. Thank me later

Mine is like thick sauce under saran wrap, every once in a while I have to poke around the screen to stir the pixels back into place
