Hi.
I just saw on the homepage that new screens are shipped with LED-back light screens.
Where can I find more info about this improvement?
I guess this makes it easier to read in direct sunlight?
Thanks

270 hrs per Sept 2013 on my first RV-7; "Wilco"
Now final assembly on my second -7; "Kermit"
3500 EFIS in Wilco.
4500s and 3400s in Kermit.
Great products and customer support from AFS!
Yes, they are brighter which enhances viewing in direct sunlight quite a bit. I don't have any additional info here as far as any testing goes, but a quick Google search turns up several results comparing CCFL to the newer LED backlight LCD screens. Side by side, the LED screens are brighter and show more depth of color.
Is a retrofit upgrade possible/available?
If you have or will be upgrading to the AF-4500s, the brighter screen is included.
I received two 4500's two weeks ago. How can I tell which screens they have?

They are the newer screens.
To Advanced:
If I send in my 3500 for a upgrade to SV - can the unit also be upgraded with the new LED screens
Thanx'

Gary, all upgrades to the AF-4500 will get the new screens.
Trevor, I believe the question is 'can a 3500 be upgraded with a new screen' - we understand that 4500s can/will be.
Any plans to upgrade the 3400's to an LED screen? There is a noticable difference between my 4500 and my 3400. Thanks
