I have used that whiskey rayon also, for my 48-482 To get a picture that looks the way it does in real life you need to get the proper lighting. Fluorescent bulbs seem to be the worst offenders. Here are 2 pictures of my radio that show the difference. First is with bad lighting:

This is with better lighting and looks the way it really does:

You can see the difference the lighting makes to the picture.
