A low-res display would be fine. In fact the same display as the original Model 100 would be great.

Use one for a while before you decide.

I still use mine every couple of weeks for distraction-free writing, and to read the news. The display updates VERY slowly. So slowly that you don't have to be a very strong typist to get way ahead of it.

The display worked better 40 years ago. They lose contrast and responsiveness with age.

My favorite calculator is an HP-28s and it too has become slow and hard to see.
