The touch-sensitive digitizer of the 770 causes the "sparkly" effect that you are seeing. Of course, if "new on eBay" means that it is new to you, but was used, then tiny scratches on the screen would amplify the sparklies.

Frankly, I was a bit disappointed with it having returned a sparkling clear Palm T|X in favor of the 770. That said, you have to take the bad with the good. The designers opted for the degraded screen in favor of high resolution--not a bad tradeoff. As time passes, however, this will improve.

If it is any consolation, someone posted quite a while ago about disassembling (not for the faint of heart or weak of skill) their 770 and after removing the digitizer they were shocked to see a sharp and flawless display underneath. So, what you see is what you get and you cannot have your cake and eat it too!
