On the 800 the backlight is pretty blinding if night hunting

You must mean the 600? The 800 is adjustable to a pretty low level.

I am still using the Minelab supplied screen protector since it is working but it does give a nice mirror flash of the sun at just the right angle. Sure not complaining though - nice touch for Minelab to include them

Even on the lowest setting; haven't been out a night to know?

Yes even the lowest setting on the 800.

Best backlight I’ve used is on the Nokta/Makro machines, they offer five levels of brightness.

One of the Fishers (F19?) screen is red.  There’s a reason the military uses red, so much easier on your eyes at night.

No I mean the 800. You get what three settings on the 800, spotlight bright, slightly less, and so dim it’s unusable.   Sorry I’m not a fan of their backlight implementation.

Can't complain on the NOX backlight - been on the beach this evening for two hours and the lowest setting is just about perfect.

I had no backlight before and hunted by ear. If something sounded nice, I would use my headlamp to investigate.

Interesting.... well, good to know. I never use backlights myself. The only time I turned mine on was to shoot this photo set...

Anyone else have the stock Minelab protection cover come completely off? 

Weird.

I made mine using clear, flexible vinyl from fabric section of Walmart ( used for table covers )   It attaches with Velcro and I can make new ones as needed. 

You need to change your screen name to tinkermeister.  I am surprised you bought the Equinox in the first place and didn't fashion your own out of a beach umbrella pole, duct tape, wire, a frisbee, and a digital multimeter.  Bendy shaft, detector stand, WM08 integrated headphones, and your own home brew screen protector. You are a DIY master. Lol. ?

Do you have a picture off the applied screen protector?

I wonder how those things come off if they need to... On the screen it'll come off no problems, but on the foil surrounding the screen and the buttons..

This was cut from a scrap piece I had left over from putting some on the CTX, I'll replace it sometime soon with the full pieces I just bought, but, it's not an issue since I also use the Deno's cover. Pealing the Zagg off is no issue, I've done it a couple of times before without any problems.
