Hardly a MUST. Maybe you need it, but that's never been a concern for me. I told you at least a MILLION times to stop exaggerating!😬

No exaggerating but yes a necessity for many including me which makes it so much easier to read display or keep it down the option is yours ..

To be honest, I thought I would, but I really don't miss the tiltable screen at all.
The screen at Genos is very good, but that may be an other reality for those who play outside in direct sunshine.

Overhead recessed lights at most gigs is a display killer
simple as that ...
having the angle adjustment is just more sensible...
use it or not but at least it's there.
Sheeesh my 20 yr old Technics KN5000 had a tilt display

My dad was using his KN5000 the other day, I've never owned a Technics, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it looked and sounded for it's age.

Certainly one of my TOP 3 arranger kbs

Here is another vote for who cares that it doesn't have a tilt screen..

And Yes I had a couple Roland EM2000's with tilt screen... asking for troubles.. They are fragile and probably contribute to screen problems..

I pass over anything with a tilt screen.. it looks cheap
Get off your butt and view the screen from another angle

Or buy a better keyboard

+1

I have worked many large outdoor jobs and the "SUN" wins always,

Laptops at any angle still lose, trying to shade the display on keyboard.. still lose.

I never had a major problem indoors just a slight adjustment from a overhead light is all that is needed.

There's always the KORG Pa4x/Pa1000 at least they get it..
