Desktop, LCD monitor, no idea which type. My issue is that it is all so 
bland. The colors are gone. There is no contrast. On low zoom it is ok 
but at higher zooms (15 and onward) the buildings are just gone. And 
then places of worship stand out like they are the most important 
features on the map. Sure they are special buildings, but not that 
special.

That coincides with the start of the US holiday season.
