to all,
i am fan of focus 40 blue original. i know about focus 14, but i wish
to have 20. you can voice out to vfo groups and encourage them to try to
produce 20 as to make reading faster. wink!
i did share feedback with vfo groups colleagues, and they want to hear
for you if yo want 20 instead of 14, let them know.
sincerely,
rich

Oh I’d be fine with the 20 cells. I don’t like large braille displays.
I’d love the Focus 14 the most.

From the demos I’ve heard, its refresh rate was very slow and made a
left-to-right thrashing sound when it refreshed. From the techtalk
podcast of the Braille Me, I think its refresh rate is much faster
and much quieter.

I wish I could get my hands on an orbit for a while, to see if it’s
durable enough to use for years. I know, at $400, even if it isn’t
durable, it’s cheap enough to replace every few years.

*Hi, thank you for this reply... I for many years, have not 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

that there was around $400.00 warranty. Too much money for
uncertainty. Again, thank you for your reply. Andy and Shubert*

The Vario Ultra is the braille display I have. 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.

available so.....If I want to take notes, read books in BRF, have 8

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
