    Hello Everyone I have been reading about how the IPS 4k screens can be fitted into the 17 r4, and I just upgraded my 17 r3 with an R4 but I really like my UHD much more than the 1440 NT panel on the R4, my question is can I swap the monitors, I think the QHD would be a much better fit for the Nvidia 980, but I dont know if they are compatible.

    Thank you in advance if you can provide any insight!
