Mine has the worst screen burn-in I have ever seen on such a device.

Knowing Davis it'll have been the cheapest, lowest quality screen they could get a hold of.

Knowing the nature of the device and how it will show a similar image for the majority of it's life, you would expect they would pick a screen with technology that doesn't suffer from burn-in. Logically anyway.

I was considering getting one of these, if I can afford it, but this thread is putting me off a bit

Here's a picture I took of a diagnostic screen when I had anemometer issues. Check out the screen burn-in

 Mapantz God that’s awful screen burn. You should return it.

Have anyone keep loseing  WiFi on the  console 

[Mapantz]

No issues with WiFi, but it does constantly resync to the ISS and Soil transmitters due to the poor internal antenna. dB is awful!

I've just come back to see that the console has updated to v1.4

I wonder what new flaws that brings?

V1.4 changelog

Welcome to Version 1.4!

Thank you for being a valued Davis weather watcher! As we near the first anniversary of our WeatherLink Console's introduction, we'd like to highlight the features in this fourth software release:

Added AirLink Support

Customers who have added an AirLink air quality monitor to their console can now view historical data in the chart section.

New Display Tile Combinations

Navigate to the console's customization section to find the following new options:

• Daily Rain Total + Yearly Rain Total
• Storm Total + Yearly Rain Total
• 10-minute Average Wind Speed + 10-minute High Wind Speed 2-minute Average Wind Speed + 2-minute High Wind Speed

Storage Space Optimization

The console's memory now better optimizes space to ensure room for decades of historical highs/lows, and graphable data.

Am I correct in thinking if I have one of these screens, I don't need a data logger to access my station online?

That doesn't have a screen. It sends data to weatherlink.com and it's also a data logger. You can view live data using the weatherlink app, but it doesn't have historical data, you can only view that at weatherlink.com.

 Mapantz Sorry I'm still none the wiser, If I Have this screen do I still need to use the 6100UK  Davis weatherlink live??

No, but it also depends on what you whether you want detailed access to your data?

The new console/screen doesn't have an API, so data cannot be retrieved directly from it. You can get data from weatherlink.com using software, but only at 15 minute intervals unless you have a paid subscription. 

If you have a WeatherLink live hub, you can access the real-time data from it using software, such as Cumulus MX or WeatherDisplay.

I have both, but my console is just purely for decoration. My WeatherLink live does all the work of uploading and saving data, as well as being connected to Cumulus Mx.
