made me think that there are options to buy an LCD screen and I wonder if its even possible.  I know it would void a warranty but it would get you a better screen in a phase back for example...just a thought.

(Most) MFDs do not have hi-res colour live view, so I thought about using a sliding back and a red 645 as a viewing system, with video as a side-benefit!

Not the most cost-effective solution, but could it work?

The only practical way to do it is if the replacement screen has an identical form factor and electrical interface, in which case the only benefit might be a brighter screen.

Trying to fit a great LCD onto a small digital back seems like an exercise in futility anyway. Why not use a much larger laptop screen in tethered mode?

Wireless tethering would be the best way forward, imo.
