He claims that's an SB2 but it's actually an SB1g.

So is there a difference between the display on an sb1G and sb2/3 or is the difference between the SB1 and the rest?

There's a difference in both the display AND the rest of the functionality of the device.

As for the display: the SB1g had a 280x16 display while the SB2/3 had a 320x32 display (with greyscale support)

Here's a comparison chart: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.ph...are_comparison

Ahh so the link to supplier in the link above is for the 280 *16 display,
I'll have a look for the 320*32 version too.

Thanks

Why do you need the 320x32 version? I thought you said you had an SB1g.

[Craig]

True the faulty one is an SBG but I thought that if I was putting n order in to Japan I might as well stock up.
I also have SB2's 3's and a Transporter
