Thank you Nitro! I did do a little bit of looking into IPS mods but clearly not enough. Deffo something I'm going to look into if just to have a few more DMGs running rather than gathering dust.

It's common nowadays for DMG LCD retrofit kits (from various manufacturers) to come with a replacement PCB. If nothing else, almost out of necessity. Examples are RIPS, Funny-playing's IPS kit. The last link is a comparison between different kits to help you make an informed decision.

I remember reading a few years back about how someone was working on a complete replacement for the front LCD board (including screen) and was wondering if these ever went into production. I can't seem to find anything about it in any of the usual places (here, kitsch etc) and at this point in wondering if I'm misremembering / colating memories.

I have quite a few working back panels, but only like 1.5 working fronts, just trying to make some use out of the contents of my to-be-repaired box
