    I always had the 1080p screen in my M15x. I recently got one for cheap that had the 1600x900 (900p) display which I was kind of disappointed when purchasing.

    However, I did a screen calibration and then went into the nVidia Control Panel and was able to OC the refresh rate to 130hz!! I was so surprised it can hit that high. I started with 75, then 80, 85, 90, 100, 120, 130, 140 and 130 seemed to be my limit. The screen after calibration and OC is not bad.

    Just wanted to do a little PSA for anyone still using these.

    Well that's pretty cool. When I was looking for a new screen for one of my M15x machines I only found the 900p ones available. I don't mind it at all, it actually gets a few more FPS due to pushing less pixels and it's still looks really good IMO. Thanks for sharing!
