Difference between the replacement displays for K3?

Theon144 · 02-17-2015, 12:34 PM

Hi!

I just bought a K3 for very cheap since it has a broken display and I'm shopping on e-bay for the replacements, but there's a lot of possible candidates.

I've gathered that I generally want a ED060SC7 and not an ED060SCE (what's the difference, besides $10?), but even still, there's apparently a ED060SC7 X5RG, ED060SC7 K0TG, a ED060SC7 EVHG...

I can't find anything on what distinguishes them, and I'd rather not buy a cheap knock-off from China that doesn't fit or has shitty colors.

What do you mean by "shitty colors"? You know that the K3 doesn't have a color screen, right?

Yeah, obviously; I meant contrast, sorry.

Thank you! However, if I understand correctly, that thread is solving an issue w/ an "incorrect" replacement display, couldn't I avoid the whole issue with updating the waveforms (?) by buying the "right" one?

Might be as well to ask in that thread for advice on how to identify the correct one.
