Is this possible?

eBay # 9734244251 -- I thought all HP48G+/GX units which had the black LCD came in a blue and orange box?

      
It doesn't even look like a Black LCD model

It doesn't even look like the Black LCD model. It looks like the Blue on Green model. Even if off, you can tell the difference. The B/G model has a greenish tint screen.

Here is a Black character model (48GX though)

Ok, I'm glad I'm not seeing things knowing that someone else has confirmed my suspicions.

Ahh, I just realized what he meant by black LED. He's actually referring to the IR LED and not the LCD screen. I thought this might have been a typo from an unknowing user.

Nah! He meant LCD. I sent him a photo and asked him about the LCD color and he replied

Oh man, you are RIGHT... good eye! I honestly didn't even think twice about it. Steve


Besides, is there such a thing as a "Black IR LED" vs some other color.

Well, in the older HP48 calculators, the IR reciever was brown. In the later units, the IR receiver appears black in color.
