Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Great find!  What displays are compatible with the CZ1000?  I have contemplated finding a backlit display for mine, but I'm not aware of any. I saw a video of someone who is doing the CZ1000 battery mod and his had a blue backlit display which looks really awesome.


Thanks,
