[TenTec] Anyone recently replace an Orion 565 LCD?

[Lee WA3FIY]

Barry, 

No idea what TT service is providing for Orion display replacement but from what you 
describe it sounds like the display on the late production Jupiters.  You can see pictures of 
the Jupiter at the TT web site.  I have one here and have mixed emotions about the blue 
screen.  It seems to be a little more crisp and brighter but does not have as much viewing 
angle as the older Jupiter green screen.  When I have the Jupiter mounted at approx eye 
level or above it is very nice but when I have the Jupiter at desktop level it is somewhat 
washed out even at max contrast setting.

I don't like the Orion screen at all though and I imagine the blue screen would be an 
improvement.  Maybe someone who has one here will comment.

Of course all this is very subjective and evoke different responses from different operators.   
:-).

73,
