the screen on the 8000 was not great so this makes sense. If u have the 8800 probably not necessary tho.

I got an MV8000 for $250 a few months ago. But it came with a busted screen.
Dropped $150 for a replacement screen from MPC stuff.
I got a old 7inch video monitor maybe I'll give it a go if I get bored.
Thanks for your thoughtful, non-curmudgeonly Responses

interesting work.
although with the ease of just plugging a monitor into the back, this does seem a bit redundant.

Yes, I saw that on reddit. The people whom already installed it, say its good but cheaply made and some died out in 2 months, others still running fine. One pointed out being made in China, it will not be to Roland standards, but if you really need a screen, it will do.

I have a MV8000 screen with dead backlight. No ugly green glow to light up what i'm seeing.
I either want to rig up a custom backlight (if feasible) or do a mod such as this. I have an external monitor but dont want to have to carry it around.
Other option is to mount a monitor on a swivel ball mount. I saw that mod somewhere but can't find it.
