    Do you think the SZ LCD is upgradable to LED?

    I have the regular SZ and was wondering if the connectors in the back are the same from the regular X-brite screen to the LED screen they use on the Premium verson in order for it to work. I have the oppurtunity to buy a new screen and was wondering if this is an option. I also was wondering since the Power comsuptions are different(LED tech. being less). Housing and other factors are already accounted for in the proceedure. Thanks

    I would think the displays are interchangeable, just from an ease of manufacture perspective. I can't imagine they'd want two different chassis. Of course I'm not 100% sure though and don't know what other challenges you'll have.

    you could always ask these folks: http://www.screentekinc.com/
    they do replacement screens, and should have some knowledge on this subject.
