Are you kidding?  We're not talking about a backlight, active matrix
screen here.  This si the passive stuff, very low constrast and designed
to use low energy.  But even so, the screens that Casio uses for color
use up tons of battery power and provide for horrible contrast.  Color's
nice, but if I can't make sense of what's on the screen AND have to
worry about batteries more frequently, I'd say it's not worth it.
