Get your eyes checked - I can see everything just fine, even without glasses. In fact, this is the best display Yamaha has ever produced for a PSR series keyboard. And, from what I've seen, their new display is far superior to the competition. Them peepers might not be up to snuff, Donny. This stuff happens when you get old - that's why I had eye surgery. Sure made a big difference in brightness and clarity of what I can see in comparison to pre surgical.

Gary the display needs to be much LARGER and able to tilt up like Tyros models, I sit very low so the angle is not the greatest flat....
my eyes are 20/20... cool2
The clarity & brightness is fine but the overall display SIZE is too small for Lyrics and MFD and be able to fit more reg on a page also.....

Is an upgrade due yet ? I thought it was a bit too soon? I'm guessing the update will concentrate on the audio route and contain another 25 audio styles maybe taken from the T5. If that does turn out to be the case I think you'd be pretty disappointed Donny!

Upgrade? confused1 .....it's pretty much old technology now & moving at a snails pace compared to whats up to date in the computer world eek2 ...players are asking for much more in technology regarding Arranger Kb's / Synths, Electronic instruments today.....how long will it go on using
"old technology" to try to keep up with today's "modern music"
Styles Alone ain't just gonna cut it anymore!!.....
these arrangers need to be juiced up with more features in all areas to compete with the needs of today's music creation......I'm sure Yamaha knows this very well, so lets see what they come up with next. How long that will take is unknown territory so far.

Different strokes for different folks. I MUCH prefer the sound of the Korg. I miss some of the guitars, but I still have good ones.
