i've been using a garmin 800 now for a couple seasons. truthfully, I rarely look at the damn thing while I'm riding anyway so the display just doesn't matter that much to me. on my primary screen I have 2 things, cadence and heart rate. that's all I need while on the move, everything else I can see after the fact on the upload of the ride. so while I ~kinda~ get roadlight's point, to me its such a non-issue as to not even matter, so take that for what its worth. I like my garmin computer, it has fulfilled my expectations and then some. I use it on the trainer in the winter and I use the data to keep track of miles, calories burned, etc. to me it was worth it. I reckon everyone has to decide that for themselves, color me a fan. but I won't upgrade to the 1000 until the 800 breaks, it just fulfills my needs completely at this time.
