Re: GH5 Problems - Blurry View Screen - What does your screen look like?

I ended up returning my GH5 to Amazon and exchanging it for a new unit.  The view screen on the new one isn't much different.

Frankly, I don't know how anyone using the GH5 is able to manually focus the camera with a lens like my 12-35 Lumix.  In a slightly dark room and my glasses on, I can hardly see the focus detail on the screen.

I set the focus zoom to full screen, which helps and I adjusted the focus peaking settings.  I realize my GH4 view was cropped, but any way you look at it, manual focus on the GH5 (at least with my lens, which is one of the most popular) ranges from extremely difficult to impossible.

It's not a problem of not enough zoom; a zoomed view is still blurry and the focus peaking so light I can hardly see it....the difference between focused and almost focused is very difficult to discern.  My GH4 with this lens was 100X easier to manually focus.  I have to pretty much rely on push-button focus with the GH5.
