Could anyone tell me if the front panel actually slopes at angle from the keys,please ?
It's difficult to see from the photos I've seen.
In some it looks as if it's completely flat,but in others it looks that it's not.

Also.....What is the overall size of the touchscreen ?
(I know it's 7 inches one way,but don't know the other dimension).

Thanks.

Yes, there is a slant to the front panel. The LCD display is 6.125 by 3.5 inches. The 7 inch measurement is the diagonal.

Thank you for the information Thoraldus.

Do you happen to know the screen angle,please ? (Approximately...).

As I plan to buy the Pa600 soon,I'm trying to work out its mounting angle position as a second keyboard,above and further back from my main one,which will be on a table...not a stand etc.

I've done a mock up using an existing similar sized keyboard,not currently in use,but it's a "flat" type,although playable,the total angle is far too much.
So,having the screen at an additional angle could help reduce the overall keyboard slant.

A proper keyboard stand could also be a solution,but I do have some reservations regarding stability.....currently my main keyboard is rock solid.
If I do decide to go that route......I would welcome any suitable stand suggestions.

Not sure what the screen angle is. I can tell you that the screen is easy to read "off angle" -- i.e. it has a very wide viewing angle. Still, if I mounted it on a second tier I'd want to give it 5-10 degrees forward tilt just to be able to see the buttons more clearly.

I just measured it at 11 degrees relative to the keys.

Thanks again, for the information.

I can now work things out regarding placement etc.

Best Wishes.
