Wanted: lcd for pc engine gt / turboexpress
« on: September 03, 2015, 10:30:57 AM »
Looking to replace my lcd on a restoration project for my pc engine gt.
One too many dead pixels so would like to buy a new or used lcd so long as it's faultless.
Thanks.

If you check the Mod section, there is a guide to installing a superior larger screen. If you only want an authentic one, then people like turbokan or thesteve might have leftovers from doing the modern screen replacement.

i have several, most will have a dead pixel or 2
dead pixels were considered acceptable back then as they were unavoidable
also contrast varied from one to another

Like thesteve said, I've never seen one that didn't have at least 1 dead pixel.  Make sure your expectations are realistic

Yep, most stock screens have 1 or 2 dead pixels. So you are basically SOL if you want to keep it looking original without performing a new screen mod of some sort.
