is the 8xxx display different than the 6xxx display
I have had 2 6400M radios and both have had display failures, including the one I am currently using and hoping it will last until my 8xxx arrives. Would like to have an 8xxxM but I'm a little concerned about the display.
Is the new 8xxxM display better than the older 6xxxM series?

Better is subjective. They are new and should last a long time. I believe only time will tell if the new radio's display is better. The 6600M I had was from the first batch built in 2018. When I sent it in for trade-in the display was just as bright and sharp as the day I received it at the end of February 2018. In all that time I never heard of anyone having a display failure.

I think it’s luck of the draw. My 6600M display working fine after 7+ years of almost daily use.

Yes. The display on the FLEX-8000 M models is different than the one used in the FLEX-6000 M models. It is, however, the same display as what we use in our current production Maestro.

Eric, different in what way? I can see it being new hardware and possibly capable of higher resolution. But, beyond that, I can't imagine what might be a noticeable improvement. Of course when my 8600M finally arrives ( hopefully in the not so distant future) I might be able to see (With my good eye ) a big improvement.
