    Hello!

    I asked this in Acer forum and a member suggested to post question here.

    ----

    I bought 5920G and to be honest I'm happy with machine, but I'd really like to do some shanges. This is just for gathering info, so plz be gentle

    I'd like to change display for larger and non-glossy (matte) version. Last week I used Lenovo T61 and its screen size impressed me, so if anyone know how to replace existing display with another 15.4" and with 1650x1050 resolution, plz share info.

    I did check online solutions but all company's that I found operate in US and I am from Europe which means I would pay almost 400 euros for imported LCD (taxes included). So, anyone knows any other company, maybe in Germany that sell laptop LCD's?

    Also, I dont know which LCD is suitable for 5920. Is there any way to check this? Diagnostic programs only say "OEM display" and service manual is not very informative about.

    Thanks in advance,
    b.

    hi

    the reason you're not getting any replies is because this is a difficult question that requires a lot of research, and most users here are from the USA.

    replacing the LCD is one of the harder things to replace on a laptop.

    heres my suggestion:

    if you recently bought the laptop, you can return it for a different one (with a 15% restocking fee probably) and get the better monitor.

    good luck.
