Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between LQ042T5DZ13 and LQ042T5DZ13K?
While both are 4.2-inch WQVGA screens from Sharp, the LQ042T5DZ13K is specifically graded for automotive use. The "K" variant typically features a higher brightness rating of 500 nits and a much wider operating temperature range up to 85°C, making it suitable for car dashboards exposed to extreme heat and sunlight.
Will this screen fit my Ford or Range Rover dashboard?
Yes, the LQ042T5DZ13K is widely used as an OEM replacement for various Ford, Land Rover, and Range Rover instrument clusters and rear-seat DVD monitors. Please verify your current screen's model number printed on the back of the metal frame before ordering.
