Re: HP-48GX's on Ebay Message #2 Posted by Scuba Diver on 5 Nov 2002, 10:56 p.m., in response to message #1 by Don Davis
No, I haven't, but if the seller is cedmunds then he usually indicates in his description whether it's the newer screen or not. I see he has a new black-on-grey unit for auction now, but the "buy-it-now" price is $129.
I'm interested in your opinion regarding the contrast of the new machines. Is the contrast in the newer machines really that much better? Is the improvement so significant that it compensates for the lack of "substance" in these newer, Chinese-built units?
I've never been a heavy 48 user, so I don't think I've ever used one for long enough to notice, but I never found the older screen all that difficult to read. If it was an issue with power users, I wonder what took HP so long to fix it?
