Hiding LCD monitor startup logos or messages etc.

I have a very clean cab build that only gives it away with the LCD startup messages when I boot. Any clever ways of hiding these?

I know i've heard of people hacking the firmware on an LCD to do just this, but i can't remember where that was.

In case anybody is wondering, I did manage to access the secret service menu, but I see no option to hide on screen displays.
