Just replaced LCD screen in Nav monitor!

Good idea. Set up a group buy on the Group Buy forum. BTW, did you find out if there are any improved screens by any chance (seeing that we came up with quite a few part numbers that were all pretty close to each other), because I'd certainly be interested in getting a better screen that is MUCH brighter than the lousy one in the car right now, and one that actually dims and gets brighter as it is supposed to do. Heck, I'd pay more than $200 if such one existed and was available.!

To be honest, after this past experience with my screen, I just want OEM and haven't looked around for anything else.

I agree with you, I'm just saying that If the original company (Sanyo wasn't it) introduced an updated screen with more contrast or better color, etc. with all the exact same specs [especially] including the viewing angle, then I'd go for it, practically regardless of cost. The way the screen gets washed out in even moderate sunlight is my single biggest (of a total of 2) complaint of the X5's interior.
