[TenTec] Which orion has the correct display ?

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

I own an Orion and prior to the reflector discussion about the
LCD screen I never knew there was a problem.  My screen is
perfectly Black and White, but I always look at it straight on
because that is the only way I can look at it.  After reading the
reflector comments I leaned way over to look at it from an angle
and the tint does change a little bit.

Frankly, I think it is much ado about very little.

Hello guys , let me try this another way .  If when I buy my
orion 1 which display should I expect to see once I turn it on ?
Some one had speculated that the hue of the display changes with
temperature or over time .  The blue display is shown on the
video from the factory but if you look at some pictures of the TT
ham fest and other sites on the web the screen looks pea green .
I am scratching my head and agonizing over a relatively minor
issue but after a few responses I have not gotten a definitive
answer . Can anyone help ?  Thanks   John kb2huk
