LCD to LED conversions?
OldLes:
The idea of the 23" is to test the idea out. That way I will get some idea of the colour rendition, and could try various types of LED in the same set on a purely experimental basis. If it fails, I an £8 down and have 300 LEDs with which to play about. (They can always go in my junk box with about 500 neons [suitable for Grundig 5010, 5011 etc. touch control panels] and tons of other stuff collected over the years).
For the little Toshiba, I think that is a 12V supply to the inverter, and these cheapo LEDs require 12v at 2amp, maybe rather less than the inverter board.
Clark, If there was an easy way to get those bits off you, I would probably have them, but how on earth could they be posted without risk of loads of broken glass arriving?
The 42" can sit quietly for a while whilst I think about it. It was FOC from the amenity site, but would be worthy of a place in our living room. If I thought the LEDs would be suitable for that, I would certainly consider that as a solution, but obviously if the existing inverter / CCFLs can be sorted, that is the easiest solution.

Ah the old Gruntpigs, what a pain in the arse those touch controls were, changes channel when a fly walks across it. Not easy explaining that to the customers.
Davy:
LOL Keith.
We had a Grunpig that kept changing channels by itself, the old lady hid under the stairs thinking it was a ghost. The touch pad was laden in chip fat... all was revealed, her grandson came waltzing in with a bag of chips - nuff said!
Remember them GEC's too with their neon's, the good ol' days have gone!

OldLes:
Hmm, I think we are getting off topic, but--- Actually, all my neons were for GEC, not Grundig, but they were essentially the same. In fact the 5011 and the 5012 (and others) used the same chipset as the GEC, even though the markings were different. I bought a load of new GEC panels at a radio rally which kept me in chips for years, whilst the neons came from David down at Sendz. (I think he is still there, he supplied me with an audio chip for an LCD Phillips a couple of years ago).

Davy:
Try to get back on topic here:
With LCDs there is ample filtering between the back light and the display, there are layers my mylar and silvered sheets to disperse the light usually mounted on a sheet of what I call mottled plastic to prevent casting shadows.
Wouldn't LEDs require a different filter? I've never seen behind a LED display, doesn't CCFL's contain more UV light what little there is compared to LEDs, as you may know the LEDs are mounted round the edge.
