Northstar 6000i - Working Tested Display Head - Latest Software - 15" Screen on 2040-parts.com
Boca Raton, Florida, US
This Northstar 6000i was removed from a boat being refit with new electronics. We have run it through a full bench evaluation:
We're pretty nit-picky about the items we sell. That being said, we disclose anything that's "off" or that would distinguish the unit from a new one.
Disclosures: The unit does have separation of the optical bond between the LCD panel and front glass - this doesn't have any effect on performance, you will notice is subtly when the unit is on and it is visible when the unit is off - this is the result of the optical bond, which is an adhesive-like gel that glues the LCD panel to the front glass, melting and contracting over time causing the separation. It really doesn't have much of an effect on viewability when the unit is powered on. Also, there are what we call "peaks" in the backlight in all four corners of the screen. I don't really know how to accurately describe them other than to say that when there is a white screen, the peaks are more visible and when data is on the screen, they're almost un-noticable. It is most pronounced in the second picture on the "return" softkey, see how it's a little lighter/whiter in that one spot.
Other than that, the unit is in great shape, it was installed in an 80 foot Burger motoryacht that was being refit with Garmin 8000 series displays.
This listing is for the head unit only. A lot of the pictures were taken with peripherals (radar, chart card, GPS antenna, etc.), none of these peripherals are included but are available on ebay for purchase.
Shipping free in the US, thanks for looking.
