Chronos 1.4 screen upgrade?

(1/3) > >>

gyppor:
Seeing the improved brighter screen on the 2.1, would the new LCD be compatible with the 1.4? I'd love a brighter screen on mine, if it were possible to upgrade.

Thanks!

The screen and rear bezel that will be used on the Chronos2.1 can be swapped onto a Chronos1.4 as a drop-in replacement. I don't have any idea of what the pricing for such an upgrade would be.

JamesB:
This should be a popular upgrade, thanks!

patrickrebstock:
yeah, agree this would be a popular upgrade.
do we know yet how the new screen will affect the battery life?

foobar:
Our initial tests have shown that the backlight on the new LCD does consume a bit more power than the older unit, but I would expect the difference in runtime to be very small. It's the FPGA and CPU that consumes the lion's share of the power budget. If I had to take a guess, it might reduce your battery life by about 5 minutes or so from a full charge.
