fx-9860gii-2 brief introduction

[Mjim]

I received the Casio fx-CG50 yesterday and was very happy to learn that the display is transflective!:



Taken under direct sunlight (back light at it's dimmest setting after 30 second timeout), but angled as such so that you can see the shadowing of the LCD on the reflective part of the display.

So the display is easy to read under direct sunlight (well to be fair the surface of the screen could do with anti-reflective coatings). The reflective layer isn't quite good enough to function under fairly normal indoor light levels, so you do need the back light then, but it's nice to know you aren't limited to the back light for all lighting conditions.
