Breathe New Life Into Your Discontinued ProtoTRAK with Monitech’s LCD Upgrade Kit

If you’re still running a ProtoTRAK MX2, MX3, AGE2, AGE3, LX2 or LX3, you already know the reality—these machines are workhorses, but they’re no longer supported by the OEM. As a result, finding compatible replacement parts, especially monitors, becomes a frustrating guessing game.

CRT screens are failing, and since OEMs have moved on, you’re left either scouring used parts online or risking costly downtime.

Common ProtoTRAK Display Issues (and Why They’re Getting Worse)

Older CRT monitors were never meant to last forever. In fact, the most common issues we see with ProtoTRAK displays include:

Faded or dim screens
Image burn-in
Flickering and screen distortion
Full power failure
Overheating or buzzing

These symptoms signal a monitor that’s well past its service life. And because CRT parts are no longer manufactured, sourcing a working replacement becomes near impossible.

Why Monitech?

At Monitech, we build for the machines the OEMs forgot. We understand how essential it is to keep reliable legacy equipment in production, without forcing expensive full-system upgrades. That’s why we’ve developed thousands of drop-in LCD replacements for machines across dozens of industries.

And when we say plug-and-play — we mean it:

Cables included
Power matched
Mounting-ready
Full documentation and support

I’ve personally installed this kit on an MX3 and an AGE3 system. In both cases, the job took under an hour, and the results were immediate — no flicker, no heat, and full screen visibility again.

Real-World Example

One client’s ProtoTRAK LX2 system had been running strong for over 15 years — until the screen dimmed to unreadable. The OEM had long since discontinued support, and every “replacement” CRT found online was either dead-on-arrival or didn’t fit.

They installed the Monitech LCD Upgrade Kit and were back in production within the hour. No electrical engineering needed. The new screen even drew 40% less power, helping reduce internal heat and extend the life of the entire control panel.
