I know this is a common issue on the 8.4's. Has anyone used one of the screen replacement kits on Amazon? Not a chance in hell I'm paying the dealer $2000 to replace the unit.
 
I wound up going with the oeautotronics replacement UAV screen. Install was painless, but make sure you test everything before putting the dash back together. Screen worked, but the touch was not. Had to take it out and clean the ribbon cable contacts with alcohol.

Works good, enough. Color is slightly off from the OEM screen, but whatever. Beats spending $1400 or whatever the dealer wants for the screen.

 
I'm in the process of replacing mine now. Man what a terrible design. That gell was a pain to clean up.
 
I ordered one from Amazon for my 18 big horn. It installed fine and worked great. I dont remember the vendor on amazon though.

I almost did that, they're cheaper. Until I read reviews of the screens going out after a few months, or a cheap polarizing layer being used and you're unable to see the screen with polarized sunglasses on.

I just replaced mine with one from oeautotronics and also think the color is not as crisp as the original one. Thanks for posting as I was starting to doubt my eyes lol
