They did an excellent job taking the best aspects of the Oregon interface and making it work on a non-touchscreen unit. It is difficult to capture screen visibility on film, but I would call these two displays comparable under a wide range of conditions. Shown above and below are sun and shade photos of the 78s (which has the same display as the 78) and the older 60CSx, without backlight. Also of note, speaking as the owner of an Oregon 400t, I really didn’t miss the larger screen. I definitely noticed the lower resolution, but these are the tradeoffs you make. The result is a bright display, not quite as large or as high resolution as the Oregon series, but with much better visibility in a wide range of conditions. The 62 and 78 series do enjoy an increased range of colors that can be displayed (65,000 vs. Screen size remains unchanged too, at 1.6 x 2.2”. In order to maintain the bright screen found on the 60/76 series, Garmin left the resolution (160 x 240 pixels) alone.
With transflective TFT screens, the greater the pixel density, the less light that can be reflected back to the user. NOTE: Much of the following is based on my hands on review of the 78s.
