What is the difference between the Escort 8500x50 Red and Escort 8500x50 Blue

We get asked this question daily and here is the simple answer. The Escort 8500x50 Red & Escort 8500x50 Blue radar detectors are exactly the same with the exception of a red or blue display. We as most people question why such a huge price difference of $40 and we are told the Blue LED's cost more money to produce. Our personal opinion is save the $40 and get the 8500x50 Red unless your vehicle interior is Blue and you really want your radar detector to match.
