i have just purchased a brand new boxed 48G for $70... I appreciate its limitations (32K/non expandable) but mostly will use for Linear Algebra as it has most of the functions I require (that I use on my current 50G) after checking the manual, and whilst on the subject of manual as it comes with a hard copy user guide I can use this with my 50G ))

My questions is:
Model is Singapore mid 1996... (serial starts 36) - is this a black LCD or did they come much later? the LCD looks pretty decent to me (from the photo, yet to receive the item from seller).

My impression was black LCD was after the year 2000... on Indonesian models....

Also, seems to have an imperfection on the bottom right of LCD... just noticed... hope not an issue!

Appreciate any feedback!
