Default Is Blue Angel screen same (poor) quality as Himalaya?

hi,
I'm considering buying the I-mate pda2k. I previously owned the xda2 and xda1. I noticed with the xda2 that the screen quality was very poor next to the ipaq and others...
Not enough backlit, or too much contrast. i'm sure you guys know about this problem.
Now i want to know if the latest model has the same poor screen, or have HTC improved it?
i hope you can advise me on that one.
thanks for your help.
