I created these display kits especially for the legendary Akai S900 and S950 samplers. The original samplers' displays can be difficult to read sometimes, even with a new backlight, because their contrast is not good - that display technology is over 25 years old. This new display kit will make you fall in love with your sampler all over again! These brand new LCD displays use the latest FSTN and FFSTN technology for superb contrast, and high brightness LED backlighting for great brightness and readability in all lighting conditions. And they are easy on the eye, comfortable to view even for extended periods. Not all displays are created equal - I select only the finest displays for these kits.
This is a complete replacement display kit for your sampler, and not just a backlight. There are some major advantages here:
-
you can choose from a variety of great colours that would not be possible with a replacement backlight alone
-
the LED backlight does not fade over time as a conventional EL backlight can - you get decades of brightness!
-
the display and its power cable do not need to be soldered, everything is ready for you to plug in and bolt into place
-
the LED backlight in the display does not need the usual high voltage to power it - so no more high-pitched noise coming from the backlight inverter
-
even if your backlight inverter is faulty, this display will work perfectly as it bypasses the inverter completely
The contrast knob works as normal with the new display, so you can adjust the viewing angle to suit your position.
You just need a screwdriver with Philips/pozidrive head to open your sampler and install the new display. You do not need to solder anything. Complete, easy to follow instructions are included. Plus you get unlimited technical support from me, should you ever need it. The kit includes:
- Akai-ready custom display with power cable, completely ready to be fitted
- nuts and bolts (the new display requires these new bolts)
- cable ties
- blu-tack adhesive putty (this is a simple tool that really helps you to fit the nuts onto the bolts!)
- complete, extensive detailed instructions
- unlimited personal technical help should you ever need it
