Swapping LCD panels

[Mark Pulver]

This is a bit off-topic, but if I keep in generic, I'll be able to get away
with it. :)

Say I'm about to get a device that has a non-backlit LCD. Say that I know
this is going to drive me nuts. Is there anything that I can do about it?

I know that it'll involve physically replacing the display panel, and
possibly adding someway to get voltage to the backlight, but is this
generally practical to do?

I think that the display is generic, (x by y pixels versus custom burned),
so I'm thinking that, in theory, I should be able to find a backlit panel
of the same size, but backlit.

Is this even practical to think about?

What if I said that I thought that this panel was going to be too small,
and I'd like to see one that's double in size. How nuts am I now?


Thanks for any input...

Mark
