How long does this device last. Is the screen easy to read?

The first one lasted about five years. (I spilled coffee on it which put it out of commission) I have had my current one since December. The screen is easy to read. I don't want to ever be without one!

We've had ours over a year and other than replacing batteries it's great. Screen very easy to read

The screen is quite easy to read - easier than a typical book. We have had a number of them over the years, and use them every day - for our version of Scrabble, at the computer, while reading. They have lasted various lengths of time depending on how we care for them. We find they need to be kept out of the heat, and not be jostled, so take especially good care of them when traveling. The way they 'go bad' is that the screen eventually develops blank lines through the words. If anyone knows how to prevent or correct this problem, please let us know.

Have had mine for over a year and it works fine. Screen is easy to read with adequate lighting.

When I first got it it would last about 90 min or so . I used it to watch a movie at the laundry mat but it only worked for a week or so . Now the one my sister in law bought works about the same but it has lasted about a year now

3-4 hours but I think it depends on your computer settings. I like a bright screen so I think I get less time.

The screen is easy to read - we don't have a light issue. It does not weigh in fluid ounces because fluid ounces is a measure of volume and this only measures the weight of what you put on it.

wow. no, haven't noticed anything, though I wouldn't consider myself a heavy user. I've had mine for about 6 months.

The screen is supposed to be durable, but if they don't update the apps after a year, it's clear they don't expect you to keep this for 20 years. They are not looking to provide long term satisfaction, and once the warranty expires you will find that the cost of replacing the screen is more than replacing the entire TV. Panasonic thinks of this as a disposable item.

It does not last very long. Maybe 4 hours. It's the one complaint I have about the monitor. Otherwise I highly recommend it.

Not very long at all, I bought mine, waited a few months before my Tv needed it and when I installed it, it lasted a day before my Tv said it needed to be replaced again. That's what you get for going cheap.

If you use it moderately, 1-2 hr talk time and 2-3 hr web surfing, it can surely last a day. For me, even if it is about 10% it can last whole night idle. But some times battery notification shows abrupt reading. e.g. it will be 40% and just after 2 min it may show 5%. You may require to restart it to display correct reading.

That depends a little on the individual, I guess, but I'm well past my prime, and I can read it. I would not call the screens "well lighted." The lettering is easy to read. I wouldn't mind if they were a little brighter. The background is green, as in the picture, and the lettering is black. My eyesight is not as good as it once was.

I wear mine 7 days a week from about 7am to about 7pm. I replace a battery every 7-8 months. The display is always on.

It's not a durable timer. Mine was never dropped, and never got wet, but part of the hour display disappeared after a couple of months of light use. You could still time things, but it was hard to tell from the partial display how much time was left. I finally threw mine out.

i get about 6 hours on basic day to day things, like internet and word document. but i keep the backlit keyboard turned of, the screen brightness on low, and i keep it on powersave mode. on the first day that i got it, i was curious how long it would last if i did absolutely nothing, just letting the computer idle. (screen turned of as well). i got over 9 hours.

My 120 lasts about 12-14 hours with normal use. I listen to a podcast, playlist or ripped CD and then I change to something different. So I'm using the touch pad and having the screen light up about once an hour. I have the screen backlight set at minimum and set to turn off after 15 Seconds. I think I should get more hours than that out of it. It's certainly NO improvement over my 80!

I'm still really happy with it. My only disappointment with my first one was that it only lasted about 15 months. I've had this one since mid-December 2013 and (knock on wood) it's going strong. I used it for a total of about 90 minutes this weekend.

The display is easy to read if you have normal eyesight. There is also a feature that makes the words larger on the screen. I have found that the speaking part does not always pronounce the words right and there is no written pronunciation on the entries. Otherwise I really like the way it brings up words; it is very fast.
