Key Questions to Ask When Ordering 2.7 inch pm oled

After looking into it a few months ago, there has been demand for replacement screens for a long time for the Machinedrum, Monomachine, and Octatrack MK1 & people doing the mod (they all use the same display type (KS), but possibly different voltage? not sure).:

oohh, that is interesting , i dindnt know elektron had that sort of customization services &#; thanks for info! post a pic of your white display?

A while (5-10 years ago) others were able to get their hands on VFDs (vacuum fluorescent display) that use the same form factor & display protocol (KS). VFD is very similar to OLED in ghosting, contrast, and brightness.

Monomachine MK1 VFD Upgrade

After modding my Machine drum weeks ago today I&#;ve also upgraded my old Monomachine. It&#;s so much more fun to make music with the upgraded devices. Now I can see what I&#;m doing;) For maintenance I replaced also the soldered battery. That was a bigger challenge than replacing the display.

Unfortunately, I contacted the manufacturer of these displays late last year and they have unfortunately skyrocketed in price ($350+) since these posts making them cost prohibitive.

For reference, these pre-modified VFDs used to be sold for sale online for a little under $300 here and other places:

You can see pretty clearly here his white panels are in fact LCD:

Haven&#;t you asked Elektron about the defective resistor?

Currently I think most people default to using these KS displays as they are cheapest right now but they all are still just LCD panels with bad viewing angles & ghosting:

Anyways, some info on the demand if you&#;re curious. I imagine designing a niche product like this is a big time commitment. But I think there would be a small market for it.

Recently completed our extension and I&#;m lucky to have been able to squeeze in a dedicated film room where I&#;ve moved over all my AV gear from the old living room, we&#;ve currently got the LG OLED B7 55incher from my eyeballs to the screen is 2.7m , it&#;s a very dark room and will only be viewed from directly in front. Usage is predominantly 4k/ Blu-ray film / Netflix and Amazon.

Reading about screen sizes mixed use states 65&#; is the size to go , film usage would be 75&#; for more immersion.

I would love to get the LG C9 77&#; (can&#;t easily find the C8) but it&#;s price tag is a lot more than i can budget for.

My wife says 65&#; would be plenty big enough.

Could you guys/girls advise me on your screen sizes to viewing distances and what you think?
Is 75&#; overkill at 2.7m?



Do I go for the LG C9 65&#; and have all the features and amazing PQ I&#;m use to.

Or

Look at the Samsung QLED 75&#; Q90 (or similar) not have DV etc but have the larger screen that&#;s more in my budget.

Or

Look into the LG Nano cell screens?

Or

Push the wife down the stairs and with the payout get whichever one I want?

Many thanks
