Are the CF-28 / Cf-29 screens compatible?

Hi All!

Okay, I have a CF-29 with some weird blemish(kinda like a fingerprint but the surface of the screen is spotless) on the LCD screen(not the touch panel) so I was wondering if the screen from a 28 can be used on a 29...I doubt it can but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks!

 

No it will not be the same lcd panel
The screen brightness on the cf-29 is 100 nits brighter I think
Do you have a cf-29 mk-2 that has the mark on the lcd?

Nope, nada, nyet, ain't gonna work...

 

Ah, well, I didn't think it'd work...and it is good to find out before I take them apart

It is the mk-3 model

 

Are you sure it ISNT a fingerprint on the screen protector? Perhaps some noob replaced the screen protector and got his dum thum on the sticky side?

 

Thats a really good thought, definitly worth checking out

 

No! its a burn area of LCD. I have a couple of that LCD thats I've changed Mostly I've notice on CF-29 with 1.3ghz unit.


ohlip

 

Yeah, I separated the LCD from the touch panel to be sure and it is on the LCD.

So my next question is...Is a 29E screen compatible with a 29H?

 

Yes I believe they are but I would try to get a screen off the newer MK4 or MK5s those (minus the touch panel) seem to be the best luck with not having spots. The MK2 (CF-29E) screes have been terrbile for burn marks for me

 

Yes all the lids /screens are interchangable
I have problems with the touchscreen panels,mostly mk4's the screens have been fine, even on my order model mk-1's

Yeah -

This is an unfortunate side effect of the quest for ever-brighter screens; instead of the single CCFL at bottom or one at top & bottom, these guys have 4 tubes running horizontally. With the tubes at top & bottom, you can keep them away from the light diffraction panel (a big thick piece of clear plastic), so if one of the tubes develops a "hot spot" type failure (caused by mercury vapor accumulating on an arc burn), it still isn't easily visible on the screen.

With the 4 tube arrangement, two of the tubes are right in the middle third of the diffraction panel; if one of those tubes gets a hot spot, there's no place for the heat to go except into that piece of plastic and... melty spot which looks like a thumbprint behind the LCD substrate.

The rotten part is there's no good reason those panels couldn't be made in a modular fashion so that the light generating portion (the source of 5% of the manufacturing cost and 95% of all LCD panel failures) is separate from the LCD substrate; it's just the overweening greed of manufacturers making SURE they have product turnover and millions of pounds of poisonous waste waste annually be d@mned.

I could not agree more.

 

If you think that four is excessive
The Panasonic 12" PDRC LCD Monitor has seven inverters, and seven backlites arranged horizontally to get it's 1200nit brightness

Good lord... you could put a fresnel lens in front of that & use it as a PROJECTOR... like that lame-O "blueprint kit" in the back of all those comic books & Popular Science... ONLY THIS TIME IT WOULD WORK!!!

Yah It was not really truth in advertising

I liked the x-ray glasses advertisements myself

Never bought them , thought about it quite a bit, now they could have would of been useful if they worked
