That's the latest for the 1000.

Thanks Stilo. One day I'll check the Akai site and there'll be an OS2...

I think you dudes are in the wrong thread? This thread is about a Red LCD for the 2500.

I guess they sell the same one for the 1000.

Does anyone know if these screens require soldering or the difficulty level of installing them?

i just don't get it! why the need to change the apperance of something thats totally acceptable? its like the pictures of peoples pimped machined - they (to my eyes) just look rotten!

I'd do it to get better contrast on the display. Dunno, maybe mine is faulty. After the screen warms up in hot weather, the background is a little dark and the lettering gets lighter. If it looks like it does just turned on in cold weather, I wouldn't dare try it.

Its not something you change constantly, that's for sure.

no soldering needed. all the cables are pre-soldered and ready to go.

red is the worst color ever for a screen. seriously red is just not comfortable on the eyes and not to mention all of the negative associations that honestly could play on the mind.

red = stop
red = blood
red = no
so on and so on.

now the blue one is fresh i would do that if i felt absolutly comfortable with it or if my screen just plain went out.

Green is best.

Then the light blue comes second

Bright blue comes in third

Red looks pretty good on the machinedrum, but then it has been designed with that in mind:

Yeah, red is too dark. Aside from white, green is the easiest to see. I had this same issue with an Alpine radio I used to have in my car. Red looked sweet but was hard as hell to read the screen. Green looked like crap but was the easiet to read out of the 4 different color options (red, green, blue, amber)

yeah im gunna pass on the red screen, but i still want some wooden side panels
