Did the actually do that?
Edit: Thomann below. Only Andertons shows it in stock and with white display
Good point, I don’t know. I was going by the Andertons photo which I’m hoping is correct.
Better ask them before you order

All the hands on reviews I’ve seen of the Desktop version clearly show a red screen. Was there some suggestion that they changed this mid-production?
Yeah. But it’s still unclear what the final will be and if there might be two versions along the way.

Man the keyboard version is less than 900 at Thomann now… so glad I sold mine for way more before the price dropped. I hope the desktop price will drop as well…

I know it’s all subjective but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the knobs on my keyboard version. I can’t see how they’re terrible which I’ve seen them described as

I got to try the desktop from the recent release batch, and the screen was red, and I was surprised to find it didn’t bother me. I say this as someone who has terrible eyes. The other thing to note, is the red screen matches the red LEDs, if it were white text screen, I’d want the LEDs to match. I thought the build quality was great, except for the main encoder. The sound reminded me a lot of the OB6. Pretty amazing for the price imho.
I had the keyboard version and the display was fine but I had to look at it from a certain angle.
Probably much better on a desktop module - if you have it in front of you.
Knobs on are totally fine on the keyboard version except I found the scroll and push button a little wobbly.
Received the D model from Sweetwater – red display. No readability problems at standard desktop module viewing angles, but I can see why this might be an issue on the keyboard version as you’d be sitting further back and at a considerably shallower angle.
But I agree with @fattyparts – if the screen was white/blue I’d want the LEDs to match otherwise it would be jarring.

As video can “lie” I was wondering if the background of the screen is fairly bright red with red lettering or is it rather dark red with red lettering?
I feel like the still images make the screen look horrendous but the videos make it look totally fine.
I discovered there’s a contrast setting for the screen in the global menu. High value of contrast improve readability at low viewing angles, but increase the perception of bright background when viewed head on. Medium values look good when viewed at typical desktop viewing angles. So this is adjustable to look good for your setup and preference.
However, be aware that it’s not a “good at all angles” OLED screen.

So about 24 hours in…
The UB-Xa D sounds great but I’m having problems with it freezing up when receiving MIDI program changes or other MIDI CC commands. Unit becomes totally unresponsive to button presses, knob turns, etc. If a note was playing when the freeze occurred it just hangs. I have to power the unit down completely and restart to get it to work again. I can get it to do this reproducibly.
I’ve already installed the latest firmware from Behringer, which didn’t seem to resolve these issues.
Perhaps a bad unit? Or half baked firmware? Who know but I’m not keen on dealing with buggy hardware/firmware so I’m planning on sending it back to Sweetwater.
