I am planning on removing the IC [mention]Fleder[/mention] mentioned in the above post and will test it and see how that works.
Let me know how that works. If it makes the display look better I may do it too

How did you wire it up?

Would you mind posting a picture?

I tried to work it out myself but had no luck.

Oh wow, pretty simple, and you didn't even use the white. Nice job.

Little tip I just found with this screen. Be careful with the placement of the extra two button holes. The bezel is quite large at the bottom, when I went to mount the screen the bezel went into the button hole space. I had to extend the screen hole in the case at the top to compensate.

Cheers for the tip, the above wiring is the way I did it following wermy's and similar guides may not be the right way but it worked for me.

Remove the regulator ic completely it works a lot better. My screen used to just flicker a lot good tip is used a really sharp knife and cut the legs on it sometimes itso tricky to desolder it
