If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
What do you need a better screen for? It's a god damn calculator.

One thing I know for sure: I want my calculator's batteries to last for months at the very least, years if possible. Does it mean the display has to be that bad? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that a Galaxy Nexus' display drains battery life much faster.

That being said, I don't use calculators anymore, so to be really honest, I don't give a fuck about their battery life. I go with WolframAlpha, Pari/GP and Matlab. It's not like I don't have a computer with me when I'm working.

Im not saying we need 1080p calculators but just a little bit better would be nice. AA batteries exist

The calculator industry is corrupt, laundering money to the math teachers who "require" certain calculators and force students to buy outdated technology

They overcharge for pile of shit calculators because of educational standards. TI see's their calculator used in almost every textbook and shit so they have the upper hand and charge $140 for something that probably costed $10 to manufacture.

I been using a $10 calculator the whole time through school and uni and now in a PhD. Why would anyone want to pay $200?
