MV8K upgrade lcd to MV88 color type ?

Post by aprilexe »

Is it possible to swap the MV-8000 screen with the color one from the MV-8800 ? The screen is fine it would just be nice to have the color. I saw some Fantom replacements online but no MV88s. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same display from the original Fantom and V-Synth.

Aside from that so far so good, just brought the MV8K home yesterday. Im pleased to see the patch editor has the "Analog Feel" setting like the JV-880.

I remember reading from the MV Nation Forum that the MV8800 to MV8000 screen swap wouldn't work.
Your best bet is to use the VGA/USB card with a color monitor which allows for more MV options.

Thanks for the reply. I would imagine there are some differences at the main board and not just a different screen. I have the VGA board.
