Notice how they look very close to the standard small TI fonts? To me, it seems like that calc might be trying in some ways to not break graphical compatibility too much. And if the image quality happens to be poor and the fonts are actually pixelated IRL, then that's even better.I stated this earlier. It became apparent that the there is just one character that differs from the standard small font which is the N. Assuming that the font is scaled up twice the resolution is about 320 x 240pixels which is the same as the nspire. 1833

No since this will probably have an internal battery and the screen area is different. The main black part is made up out of 3 sections whereas the original 84+SE has 2 main parts
![]() So they will be producing different enclosures. However TI recycled old hardware in the past, so it might be possible. 1834

Why are they even calling this a ti84+? Because otherwise teachers will ban it from exams?

Ah I see what you mean. Still it's 3 pixels wide plus one empty space in between chars. That's just obvious. The scale determines what the resolution is. Yes it might be a different font. That means that they might rewrite the GUI entirely.

Edited. It might be the same size as the nspire. The picture is not very clear. If the font it just 8 pixels wide then it's nspire size.
The thin graph lines might just be image compression. 1838

My guess is that it's scaled up 3 times. With that given we can calculate the resolution which is estimated at: normal char width=4pixels times 3 times 39 char that fit on the screen here 4*39*3= approximately 468 pixels wide Now: if the aspect ratio of the image is correct we can easily estimate the height wich is about 355 pixels From a programmers perspective I would say that the resolution is approximately: 480*320 Edit: it might just be a font twice as big. then the res is most likely the same as an nspire 1839

Read the other posts. It's probably a nspire in disguise.

I'll try to determine the resolution using photoshop

Are these gonna be cheaper than regular nspires? If so: we might be able to hack it into a regular nspire for less money!

Any chance of an NES emulator on this thing?

A bigger resolution screen would be nice. 96*64 is just too small for games. Give us at least 240*128
