The E-SBL screen upgrade featuring anti-glare coating and optically bonded glass is available for Classic 6 inch SBL and 6 inch and 8 inch Evo SBL monitors.
An E-SBL screen upgrade for a 6 inch model costs approximately 650 dollars and can be completed within half a day.
Upgrading to a 2000 nit brightness screen is not available for first generation HD Evolution models with software version 5.XXX due to different internal hardware.
The 2000 nit screen upgrade is restricted to CineMonitorHD Evolution units running software version 7 only.
Software updates are often included with hardware upgrades and may introduce new features such as Avenger Level functionality.
CineMonitorHD monitors demonstrate durability over extended periods of field use including travel and shipping.

The 2000 nit screen upgrade compatibility is limited to models with software version 7, making older first generation HD Evolution models ineligible.
Pricing and availability of specific upgrades may vary and customers with older software versions should contact the manufacturer directly for options.
The discussion does not clarify whether all SBL variants are interchangeable or if there are undisclosed differences between model generations.
