20“ DVI cinema display a matching donour for 20“ ADC?

[Coloruser]

I recently got two acrylic ADC 20“ cinema displays. One is discolored but more or less ok - albeit dim. The other one still works but shows the short-short-long error code (backlight issue).

Changing the backlight was described here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?thr...inema-display-a1038-with-led-backlight.45682/

It is a great hack but quite challenging. So I asked myself, whether the panel from the 20“ ALU units mights be a good match to exchange the aging 20“ ADC panels? 20“ ALU are dirt cheap and at least a bit younger and that route looks more promising than dissecting the whole panel assembly to exchange the aging backlights.

Following! I have a working 20” ADC with a giant scratch in the polarizer.

I bought a 20“ and will pick it up in the coming week. Then it is surgery time

Would love to know if this is possible. Good luck!
