Re: HP33S Message #2 Posted by John Smitherman on 9 Sept 2004, 10:36 a.m., in response to message #1 by Richard
Hi Richard. You can adjust the contrast of the 33s by holding down the C and then pressing + and - as needed (page 1-1 in the user's manual).
I finally decided to purchase a 33s to use at work (s/n CNA41712635). My biggest complaint is the miniscule , and . I would gladly give up the 2 line display if it meant that the , and . would be more visible and distinguishable.
Being able to easily switch the calculation mode between RPN and algebraic is very handy when others want to borrow the calculator.
Thus far, I have not found any inaccuracies with the types of calculations that I do. I have done random checks using a HP 32sii and TI 83+. I do appreciate all the testing and posting of results to this forum that others have provided.
I purchased the 33s from hpshopping.com and paid $49.99. I am waiting for the $9.99 rebate. Has anyone received their rebate? $40 is getting close to the value that I place on this device.
Regards,
John
