Why Upgrade to Color LCD?
Color CRT displays have a typical lifespan of 15-20 years. As they age, you may experience:
- Color accuracy degradation (reds appear orange, blues appear purple)
- Reduced brightness and contrast (harder to read in bright workshops)
- Flickering or image distortion
- Complete failure due to cathode ray tube wear
- Difficulty obtaining replacement parts (discontinued by manufacturer)
Color LCD technology solves these problems by providing stable, vibrant colors with a lifespan of 50,000+ hours.

- Install LCD Panel: Position the 9-inch LCD panel using the same mounting points —it's a direct drop-in replacement requiring no modifications.
- Connect Cables: Connect the HONDA 20-pin signal cable and DC 24V power. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Test and Verify: Restore power and verify display clarity, color accuracy, alarm messages, and menu navigation.
