I wish. All I can say is this... It's a SHARP LM80C24, 800x600 
resolution, thousands of colors, CCFT backlit, dual scan LCD. If anyone 
knows where I can find one cheap, let me know. It's 11.3" diagonal (I 
think), and It'll cost $800 if I buy it direct from SHARP, if they even 
sell direct. One place charges $1500 and requires you send the old LCD 
and computer in!!! It sucks! The 540 is only 640x480. A LOT older style 
as well, poorer colors. Interface is probably not even the same. I'll 
buy the LCD from anyone who can find it, but I doubt it will be easy to 
find at a good price. I'd even buy one with missing pixels, as long as 
you could see the screen clearly. Also, wasn't it grant who was working 
with large LCDs a while back??? what models can he get his hands on???

I need a SHARP LM80C24 or it's active Matrix equivalent (I wish! I'd 
love active Matrix!!!) I thank anyone who can in ANY way help me!
