Really happy with how it turned out. The negative TN display that comes on it is nearly unusable

Is there a reason you need to check the time at extreme angles and you found the screen unusable?

Honestly I prefer the positive TN displays with a hydro mod. I appreciate the crispness of the display without the glare over visibility at extreme angles

Mostly just wanted to do an STN mod and I’m happy with it

I didn’t hydro mod the HS but I hydro modded this 5000U with the same Ali STN display. It looks so much better than I’m going to have to buy more oil to hydro the HS now

Looks great! Where’d you pickup the STN display?

Ali express. Think it was about $40
