IMP electronics became Lumavec and is now defunct, but can be reached at the provided contact details for repair inquiries.
The IMP Hummingbird monitor uses an LCD panel similar to the MKV Hummingbird V2, and replacement panels can be sourced from either MKV or third-party suppliers.
LCD panel delamination in older IMP Hummingbird monitors can be repaired by replacing the panel with an optically bonded LED backlit version.
The original Hummingbird display is a transflective type with 800 nits brightness, while replacement LED panels offer increased brightness at 1500 nits.
Cinetronic offers screen replacement service with LED backlight upgrade for approximately $850, with typical turnaround of a couple days for ordering and about 2 weeks to receive and bond the replacement screen.
Replacement LCD panels may have different mounting points than the original, but retrofit installation is feasible with minor adaptation work.
The original NEC panel used in these monitors is no longer in production, making third-party panel sourcing necessary for repairs.

The exact panel model number for confirmed replacements was not documented in this discussion.
Pricing information for MKV replacement panels dates to an unspecified earlier period and may not reflect current costs.
The Hummingbird monitor is not HD resolution, limiting upgrade options.
Viewing angle performance on the original display was noted as poor.
Discussion focuses on a single older model and may not apply to other IMP monitor variants.
