Laptop Screen Upgrades

Upgraded Laptops by forum users (work in progress)


I create this thread because I think that concentrating knowledge about laptop screen upgrades can help people who would like to replace the screen

How knowing my panel model?

-aida64extreme https://www.aida64.com/downloads/MTZlYWEwZTM=

-Monitor Asset Manager 2.9 https://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm

-Hwinfo64




What to know
1) Is my panel LVDS or EDP?
2) How many Pins?
3) How many Lanes?
4) What Voltage?


Where can I find infos about screens?

P870DM-G 4K/UHD-60Hz upgrade
(note the requirement of an upgraded 4 lane eDP cable from the base 1080p 75Hz or 90Hz panels)
Same process for QHD-120Hz panel.

 

thanks

I need all your knowledge about laptop screens for these Guide
did you upgrade your laptop screen? edp vs lvds? g-sync certification? screen overclocking? do you know successfull laptop screen upgrades? what's your favourite laptop screen? some suggestions could be really usefull here

 

The P870DM-G upgrade was to a B173ZAN01.0 - 17.3" IPS 4K / UHD / 3840x2160. Required 4lane cable PN#: 43-P8701-0201L (FTLOG don't pay USD$158 for this)
Awesome screen, great brightness, great colours, great viewing angles, great everything except for average transitions - like 20ms/30ms.
Gsync was retained with Premamod BIOS - but no Fn+hotkey brightness control (Nvidia control panel colour profiles still worked though but that's not true backlight dimming)
No overclocking beyond ~63Hz since that's the cable bandwidth cap



I also upgraded this P370EM from 1080p60 LVDS to 1080p120 eDP: LP173WF2 TP(A1) - same as from the 3D model of the same chassis (P370EM3). As stock of the P370EM3 specific 3D/eDP display cable couldn't be found I was advised by @clevo-extreme to use the P170HM3's 3D/eDP cable which works just fine.
Better than average TN panels of the day (2012/2013) but not as good as the AUO 95% gamut matte 15.6" (B156HW01 v4) on the P150HM in terms of colour/brightness
This model predates Gsync in all forms so is absent on hardware level
Didn't overclock it since already 120hz

 

thanks! is there a dedicated thread for that p370em screen upgrade?

 

Hi@Mr. Fox! what's panel exactly?

 

Hi @DARCODER ! what's the panel exactly?
