Trag, we need cap kits and colour LED backlight kits. It would be cool to have different colours. 8-) Replace the inverter just for giggles too. :p
Well, if the LCD was fast enough, but its no where near fast enough, but if it was....

you could use RGB backlight to do field-sequential color and it would appear that the mac would have full color. But the Video adapter doesnt support it, and neither does the LCD response time.

I did this very thing with an old Mac SE CRT and a color-wheel. built a full RGB color field-sequential VGA monitor. Same rule would apply with LCD, if you used RGB backlight instead of a color-wheel.

But the LCD response time isnt fast enough to be able to switch RGB video signaling without extreme flicker.
