Quoted from fattrain:

I think I read somewhere previously where someone replaced just one block and ended up with a slightly different contrast in color of the LED's so try and double/triple check with whoever you purchase from that these will be the same exact color e.t.c. otherwise you'll have one funky mis-matched color block in your display....

Quoted from prock:

Out of curiosity does anyone know if these are common anode or cathode? What about the exact dimensions of the housing?

Ebay units I purchased were not even close. I would order the Stern part.

Quoted from prock:

They probably work, but I wouldn't count on the color to be the same. They need to be common anode 8 X 8 1.8mm modules according to Schwaggs previous post. I see a lot of 1.9mm for sale on ebay but very few 1.8mm. What are the actual dimensions of the housing?
These are 1.9mm and there are a whole bunch of these on ebay:
ebay.com link » 60 Pcs Dot Matrix Led Display 1 9 Mm 8x8 Red Common Anode 20x20mm 16pin
These are 1.8mm and are the ONLY ones I could find on ebay (after only a couple searches admittedly):
ebay.com link » 2x 8x8 Led Dot Matrix Module 1 8mm Ca Red Common Anode

Guys, I made a typo in that post (I just corrected it). They are indeed the common 1.9 mm arrays (I just checked my ebay purchase history). Sorry for the confusion!

These are the ones I bought that DO NOT match the color of the Stern modules. ebay.com link: 8 pcs Dot Matrix LED Display 1 9 mm 8x8 Red Common Anode 20x20mm 16pin
