Larry,

I just received a new TXU-2000/01 2 meg Pronto on Friday Dec 8,2000. It has the blue-green backlight where the one in the picture has the characteristic green backlight of many lcd systems.

I have been a display engineer, and unfortunately cannot answer your question since it is very difficult to accurately photograph a backlighted (or front lighted) display panel for comparision purposes.

Mine has a problem with the touch screen and is not working properly (DOA).

The resolution of mine looks good, but the contrast leaves a lot to be desired and I have seen considerably better backlighted displays. That said, I have never seen one of the earlier prontos to tell you whether this is better or worse. I would speculate the contrast ratio of mine to be 5:1 with 10:1 a much more acceptable ratio for backlighted displays.

I have a IRONMAN Indiglo watch that is considerably better if that is a fair comparison. The watch doesn't have to contend with a touchscreen on the surface, either.
