Before I pull the trigger on a nice Braille Display, I need to know that what I choose, I will find that the money is well spent. I am using the Orbit 20 and absolutely love it!! I read books and played a bit with the remote I Os side of it. My only problem is, I just don’t have any idea of the others besides the Vario Ultra 40 of which I had about an hour demo with. $4,000 scared me especially that there was around $400.00 warranty. Too much money for uncertainty. Again, thank you for your reply.

After a few months, the Micro USB port broke. After being repaired well enough, two dots have now stopped working. No, I cannot recommend this display.

I noticed that the Focus 40 5th generation has been well rated but, what are the cons? Is the German Display the best? I am using the Orbit 20 Beta testing but, the only other I actually had in my hands was the va?? forget the name. Andy and Shubert Andrew J.
