Terry, I have this unit and what you see on that picture is pretty much the way
the pieces appear on the screen. I do find them easier to read than other
handheld units that I've seen.

This is only my opinion but the readability of screens in LCD units is something
that I'm still strugling with on dedicated units. As much as like them, none
that I've seen came close to a Palm or PocketPC screen when it comes to a good
experience in viewing the pieces.
