dude, just plunk the panel number into panelook and find out for yourself. it's not like they made it. it's gonna be a sourced sharp, LG or innolux panel or some crap. just start slamming numbers in there till something pops up.

Fair point. I honestly haven't been in any hurry to decase it to snoop while I was waiting to see if they were going to warranty the panel or not for the dead pixels. If not, or if they keep stonewalling on the topic, I'll pull it all out and take a peek.

not sure, but chances are pretty good the label of the panel will be near were the LVDS cable hooks onto it from the driver board. you might not even need to take it apart to see it. just crane you head around the back and take a peek.

* It does an excellent job of filling the space of a 27" CRT; with a stated purpose of being a drop in replacement for that, it's pretty darn close. I ended up quickly fashioning something to screw it down to in my cab in front of the original brackets out of 1" aluminum angles. While it loses about ~1" of diagonal screen size, it's close enough; closer than anything else on the market.

Doesn't about every CRT screen loose about 1" of its diagonal area to borders so that the actual picture is smaller. Meaning that since LCD shows the complete area this shouldn't loose practically any area compared to original.

Yeah, no luck with that. It's going to mean decasing it to get to it, which will also mean taking off the cab glass and uninstalling it entirely first. I got a little bit more info that's expanded my patience a bit for that exercise. Still saying they're waiting for the manufacturer to relay the panel ID and made it sound like they were blowing them off, but that they should have it this week. Sounds like there's a known firmware issue and said they're planning to have a firmware update done within a couple of months. Should also include defaulting the auto-scaler to off and opening up manual positioning/sizing/scaling options that currently aren't accessible. If that happens, sounds like that will solve my main complaint and make it possible for HLSL to look right. As-is, with HLSL off, it's about as good as I could reasonably hope
But I just can't bring myself to keep it off. :P So, just dropping the scanline and mask alpha low enough to mask the scaling issue for now. 0.15~0.25 mostly camouflages it.

Well, that presupposes you haven't gone into the service menu with a test grid and brought all the overscan area into the frame (which I always do). With that in mind, yeah, lost 1" diagonal of real estate.
And an extra couple of action shots (I've got phosphor persistence tuned up with the bloom, so the ghosting is intentional; it's not there with HLSL off):
