View Full Version : Is the SJ20 better than the S360

Allright,
My S360 has committed the ultimate sin. Some of it's pixels have randomly gone black, and no longer display anything. So I went to Best Buy to invoke my warranty. Turns out when I do, I get to trade up to the SJ20. So I'm reading reviews about the 20, and is what I hear to true? They say the refresh rate for the screen sucks, and that it's to thick, blah blah blah. I personally like the way the SJ20 looks. So, are the reviewes, nots, or should I live with black pixels for the rest of my 360s life?

hi-res is great, don't discount it. I wouldn't turn it down at all, but that's just me, but you might want to consider throwing more money at the problem and upgrading to a color model...

Once you go color you will NEVER turn back...but it is definitely a great investment...get an sj30 if you are on a budget or a sj33 if you have a little extra to spend

I have NO extra to spend. I am but a poor man. I'm upgrading because I have too. Damage to my screen. Extended warranty being invoked.

I have a SJ20 which I upgraded from a visor deluxe. I am not familiar with S360, but the SJ20 outperforms the visor in every possible way. If you don't need color, which would degrade battery life, I think you would be very happy with SJ20. The backlit white screen is wonderful. If you don't care for the OEM fonts, as I was, you can always download a variety of custom fonts. I did and am very pleased with the new fonts on my applications. Also the hi-res screen is beautiful to behold compared with old screens.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I went ahead and upgraded. I will miss my poor old S360. Our relationship was brief...*sniff*

You should be happy. I hear that the SJ has one of the best monochrome screens around.

I'm syncing it for the first time right now. The back light...is awesome! White on black. It's like reading off of a printed page.

I thought you would like the new screen. I think that eventually, you will feel that the demise of your S360 was a stroke of good luck. Enjoy!!

Yeah. hi res is too cool. Even without sound, since I'm a total trekkie, I'm thinking I'm going to put the nemesis trailer onto it, so I can get my fix occasionally.
