Has anybody ever tried modding the GT/TE to include a 4" screen? All mods I've seen so far are with the 3.5" lq035nc111 type panels. I'm curious if any modders have looked into the feasibility of this. Maybe there isn't enough space in the casing? I'm tempted to buy one of the 4" panels that Kadenken sells just to investigate the possibility.

a 4" could probably fit but then you would most likely have to cut off the Black plastic shade portion that surrounds the screen area. Plus no one is making screen protectors that size to cover the screen.

Yeah, the thought about the screen cover did occur to me also. Would be pricey to get them custom made. Still the potentiality of it remains intriguing. Gonna try to find some time and stop by Kadenken this weekend and pick up one of those 4" screens. Where do you usually get your 3.5" screens from Keith?

So yeah, that's almost certainly not going to fit. The lens/camera angle makes the panel look a tad larger than it is compared to the GT, but I think it's not gonna happen. Oh well.

Okay, thank you for the suggestion. And I just noticed that Console5 are offering 3D printed mounting brackets! Very cool!

Yeah, the brackets are nice but it's hard to justify the price at $20 when you can just use hot glue instead.

It does offer a more elegant solution though. I would probably use them for my own GT's.
