What's the PDA with best screen?

Is it the rx1950? Main criterion is indoor/outdoor brightness/visibility

Let's not take color temp, saturation, resolution, viewing angle, etc, into consideration.

I've heard that the Palm Vx has the best screen contrast for outdoor visibility of any Palm handheld.

The fujitsu loox N520 has a good screen and I am sure Dimitry G will tell you that the th55 has the best screen.

Which has the best for an affordable price should be the question. LOL.

For outdoors you can't beat monochrome.

I have yet to find a PDA that is really usable in sunlight. My Clies with their transflective screens are okay in bright sunlight if you get them at the right angle, but white is no longer white, and it isn't close to as easy to see as it is in the dark.

Don't know about PPC's - As most of them have transflective screens, they'd probabyl stack about the same as my Clies...

For outdoors, nothing currently beats a monochrome display for clarity.

With colour, you loose a lot of clarity as soon as you go somewhere where the internal lights are significantly less than the ambient light.

PDAs with transflective displays (e.g. Clies, new Palms, most PPCs) are currently the most usable in outdoor sunlight, but it has to be fairly strong and coming in at the right angle or it washes out the display instead (or, worse, reflects the sun into your eyes! Owww...)

I don't know what the VZ would be like - I've yet to see a high-density emissive display in action in sunlight! They work bloody well indoors with artificial light, but a 30watt incandescent or even fluorescent bulb cannot really be compared with the slightly-less-than 400 Trillion (British!) megawatt lightsource that is the Sun

Nop, IMHO, the reflective display used in the Tungsten T beats all the other Transflective systems outdoors. Also, the iques are said to be very good, altough i dont know where I had the picture...

The TH55 is my choice for a palm. As for PPC I think its the Loox 720 -

http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/re...oox720-en.shtml

It has one of the nicest VGA screens I've seen. I also think it's the closet thing to a PPC version of the TH55, strong all around. Unfortunately like the TH its no longer for sale, and the newer versions just can't compare.

I recently bought a TomTom Rider GPS unit for my motorbike. It has an incredibly bright (touch)screen, clearly readable even in the brightest sunlight. Wish the PDA manufaturers could do the same... it IS possible.
