John,
Thanks for the update. When I re-read The Sultan's post, he does not state that vibrations made the displays fail. I must have jumped to a conclusion, I am sure he was going somewhere else with that thought.
In surfing around today, I found the UTC annual report has an X2 video clip. One quote from the video: "Vibration levels, I tell you what, very nice." Maybe that is code for screens going blank, they don't say though. In the video clip I could only see the left screen and it seemed to be working.

UTC Annual Report
You can skip the intro, though it has one X2 picture on it. When you get past that, click on the technology picture with the turbofan engine on it. Then there is a link to the video on the left.
