CRT relplacements

do LCD screens get retrofitted on 744s that were produced pre-2002 or is the retrofit too costly to justify? (Is it even an option anyway....)
Introduced with the ER/ERF deliveries and from then on available as a retrofit.

Airlines that have replaced the 744 CRTs with LCDs:

CX (only on B-HUJ pax 744 so far ) anybody with more info. reg. CX ?
VS (all)
QF (only on 3 aircraft and then stopped)
CV (ongoing and planned for all)
CI (ongoing/for some freighters)

They should have made retrofit available including LCD + the digital ISFD and the digital MCP (some airlines already replacing the MCP actively)
