NBT display problems

Hello,

I have an 2016 F10 which had a factory NBT navigation unit with large screen.
The factory navigation display started to have some issues in 2020, meaning that at first appeared a dead pixel on it which gradually started to get bigger(looked like a circle).
Stated what I mentioned above, I decided to upgrade my NBT to NBT Evo ID5/6 and also change my navi display. I did this 2 days ago and changed my factory display with another one from an older 7 series BMW.
As it seems to me, my broken display had better colors than the “new” one I got from the F01.
My factory display - manufactured in 2014;
The display taken from F01 - manufactured in 2011;
In fact, all the colors are faded - the whole display looks grey-ish and the rear camera image seems unnatural.
Is it possible to be some wiring issue or they only improved the displays by years passing by and I should get a newer one?

The display is currently powered by a cable on which I connected a voltage regulator set at 8.5V.

The F01 is CIC based and your new HU is NBT based. The CIC resolution isn't as good as the NBT so you'll need an NBT screen to get the better resolution.

Hmm. So the only solution to this is to change my display.

LE: How can I identify if a display is NBT based by code number?
For example, I have found a 10" display made by Innolux on 07.11.2012 with code number 65509284974. Is it an NBT or a CIC one?
(searching code number on RealOEM didn't gave me a clear answer)
