So that settled it the white on blue negative type was the one I was going to get! It's easy to read and looks awesome, even on a yellow version of the Q. The Phoenix version came out in 2007, so perhaps the LCD technology was not available at the time of the first and subsequent issues of the Q and Micro Q (1999-2002). It wasn't until Waldorf made the Phoenix Edition that the LCD screen was finally enhanced to something completely different. The blue versions of the Q and Micro Q utilized a grayish-bluish, positive-type display which is low in contrast, and in my opinion, hard to read. Waldorf Q+ Phoenix (Black) - white on blue negative type As far as I could determine from pictures on the Internet, all versions of the Q (and Micro Q), except for the Phoenix Edition, have positive type character displays, which are the "standard issue" display used in almost everything.Waldorf Q+ (Red) - black on white (although appearance is rather gray) positive type.Waldorf Q, v2 (Blue) - black on white (although appearance is rather gray) positive type.Waldorf Q, v2 (Yellow) - black on yellow-green positive type.Waldorf Q, v1 (Halloween) - black on yellow-green positive type.Waldorf Q, v1 (Wave Blue) - black on yellow-green positive type.Waldorf Q, v1 (Yellow) - black on yellow-green positive type.Proceed with caution and at your own risk! Background the Various Q LCD Screens: Before we begin, let's examine a list of the various Waldorf "Q" derivatives and their LCD screens: For some, even cracking open a vintage synth is daunting and may cause uncontrolled shaking and nausea. So let's get down to business! Disclaimer: This how-to requires a good level of skill, discipline, and patience. So here is my contribution to the Internet, and the Q owners/tweakers. There are a few threads/webpages associated with a swap-out, but none that I could find with any good level of detail. However, I wanted to change the LCD to a better-contrast, "negative" display.and blue! Overall, the process of LCD replacement is not documented very well in other parts of the Internet. So in order to get the Q back up to good cosmetic condition, I decided to replace the LCD. As you can see in the following pictures, some of the LCD text does not display because of this issue. The bottom portion of the LCD was either damaged or was decomposing. I bought it pretty much brand new and unused from a local Craigslister a couple of years ago.
