It has a 15" viewable diagonal. About 1.25" greater than the 4FG.

: 6FS.

The 4D screen has a radial curvature of about 650mm vs. 1200 (aprx) for 
the 4FGe,3FGe.  The 4D has a antiglare surface vs. polished screen for 
3FGe,4FGe.  The 4D does not have the -MPRII- low mag. field rating.

If I was going to purchase one, I would spend no more than $450 US if it 
was brand new and in the box.
