Comparative Test Color Lasers up to 700 Euros: Ergonomics: Use of the menu
An illuminated display shows information far better than a normal LC-display. Only Brother and Kyocera offer that comfort. To read the display on the HP, Oki, or Samsung, you have to take a very close look. The Oki´s is by far too small and of little use.
We test, whether or not one can read the display sitting in a wheelchair. Samsung´s and Kyocera´s displays look upward, they are barely readable. The Brother´s display is hinged and can be adjusted in an optimal way. Although they are small, Oki´s and HP´s displays can be read from a wheelchair.
