Just watched and I know he's more of a Korg OS guy, but that being said...
His one dislike that has me concerned is the screen angle. (I'm awaiting delivery of a SX-900) I don't know why Yamaha didn't angle the screen, or better yet, a tilt screen would have been nice. Does anyone agree with his "washed out" view opinion? Is it that bad you can't naturally see the bottom of the display?
Also he may or may not be correct about a T-4, or a T-5 being better, but a USED T-5 is at least $1,000 more than a NEW SX-900, so just sayin'
You Tube is great for demo videos and opinions, but at the same time can drive ya crazy when trying to decide.

Yamaha should really make it a tilt screen as you say. Hopefully, it won't be an issue for you. I think his comment on the T4-T5 being better than an SX900 is based on the lack of after touch in the latter.

Larry, with the new displays, the glare issue no longer seems to be a problem. I had my friend's SX-900 here in my office directly beneath a shop light and no glare at all. The screen was bright, crisp and very clear. Gary

You Tube is great for demo videos and opinions, but at the same time can drive ya crazy when trying to decide. That's why one should always go to a store and try the keyboard(s) BEFORE buying. It's the only way to know if a keyboard is right for you.
