[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 151681, member: 2163"] Key display issues: 1. Display size - the Zumo's is smaller than either the 2720, 2730, 2820 or the 276c/376/378/478. 2. Resolution - 276c has double the pixels (and therefore higher resolution) of the Zumo and 30% more than the 2730. 3. Backlighting - the 2000 series (and possibly the Zumo - can't tell without opening one and they don't say) uses a flourescent tube that will yellow and dim over time. The 276/376/378/478 use white leds, which will not. 4. Technology - ask anyone who uses a 2000 series device to look at a 276 in direct sunlight. NO CONTEST. The 276 wins hands down. Period. Now, if they'd only use a matte finish on the screen . . . Zumo display: Display: 2.8” W x 2.1” H (3.5” diag.), 320 x 240 pixels; high bright sunlight-readable, UV-resistant, touch screen display 276c display: 3.8-inch diagonal, 480 x 320 pixel, 256-color TFT screen with adjustable LED backlight 2730 display: 3.8” diagonal WQVGA color, automotive-grade, sunlight-readable TFT display; 3.3” W x 1.7” H; 454 x 240 pixels [/QUOTE]
