I'm not sure why someone else commented on the contrast looking different from the center to the outer edges as I have also installed the LCD purchased from Jim Walker and I have no difference in contrast at all. It sounds as though he has a backlight bulb burnt out on the outer edge(s). I also had the center backlight bulb burnt out and the contrast was darker in the center until I replaced the bulb with one that Jim had sent me (at no extra charge I might add!!). The contrast on mine is even all the way across as it should be. As stated in earlier comments, the contrast is lighter, but it makes it easier to read than the original LCD. In my opionion, it's well worth the $160!! :)
