Thanks for the replies. I was trying to go for an authentic setup for my A1000 with the 1080, but it seems like I'll be just complicating things (black border/flicker) needlessly.
Now if someone is able to retrofit an LCD panel into a 1080 housing...

I'll just try to get one of those old 1084S-P - the newer, D1 model one I have interferes with the A1000 drive (see my previous thread on this).
Anyone got one to sell in Europe?
