Oregon 700 vs 600 screen color
I have noticed that my Oregon 700 screen shows a yellow tint while my Oregon 600 shows bright white when white is displayed, see picture, is this normal for this model?

Re: Oregon 700 vs 600 screen color
Was the O700 used more often than the O600?
I noticed the same with my O750t (eight years old, daily used) in comparison to a newer (and probably quite seldom used) O750t which I bought as a spare unit two years ago. My old one looks a little bit "yellowish" while the new one shows bright white. But you can notice that only in direct comparison. So I don't mind...

The 6x0 in your photo appears to have a screen protector installed while the 7x0 does not. Is this correct?

The 600 is several years older than the 700, in fact, the 700 is new from a box (obtained from ebay). Maybe it was not so new or it's was refurbished. If it was refurbished, they did a good job.
The 600 does have a screen protector (glass type), removing it does not make any difference.

Re: Oregon 700 vs 600 screen color
I am wondering if perhaps the glass on the 7x0 has yellowed from more direct sunlight exposure while the screen protector on the 6x0 has prevented the same?

Re: Oregon 700 vs 600 screen color
I do not believe so, the 700 was sold 'new', it came in the original garmin box and still had the removable screen protector on it. It was in perfect condition when I unboxed it a couple of months ago. I was wondering if it was something unique to the 7x0 series. Since I cannot return it, I will learn to live with it. It's not that bad.
