Laptop Screen Upgrades

I don't see why it wouldn't. While not in gaming mode it might bump it down to what it supports 60/120 and when gaming or using video intensive programs it should use the other.

You can also go into the graphics settings and specify programs to use which preferred GPU as well. For certain programs i assign them to use my GTX1650 and everything else is auto / UHD 630 iGPU.

 

That's eDP 1.3 or DP 1.3.
Ryzen 4x00U series support DP 1.4

 

How do you determine whether a panel can be a viable upgrade to the current one? I have a Razer Blade 14" 2017 non-touch and I already detached the panel. I found it in the online database linked in the original post as well, so I know its specs. How do I look for a panel that will work with my laptop? Is there any way I can fit in a larger panel like a 15.6" one using smaller bezels or a bigger back panel/frame for the screen?

 

@ walter harmer

How do you determine whether a panel can be a viable upgrade to the current one? - HWINFO64

How do I look for a panel that will work with my laptop? Take the model info and plug it into panelook.com and the outline size is what you're looking to match

Is there any way I can fit in a larger panel like a 15.6" one using smaller bezels or a bigger back panel/frame for the screen? This would potentially work but, it wouldn't look very OEM

 

Then I just need to find a panel with these specs:

• Overall Size
  320.4(W)×205.1(H) mm
• Outline Depth
  2.8/3.0 (Typ./Max.) mm

What about power consumption; total power; input signal, voltage, and current? Wouldn't they need to match as well?

 

They should be similar across the board. There's not usually too much variance but, if you want better battery life lower would be slightly better.

 

Hey! I hope you read my post.
Please tell me, did the 1070 card start normally with the LG Philips LP173WF4-SPF1 screen, without a black screen?
As I understand it, the problem with the brightness of the screen you met with the 120Hz matrix.

 

Hello Guys i recently got a cf-53 but the screen is going out I was wondering if I could get some help finding a upgrade. I was maybe hopping I could add a touch screen to it since I know some cf-53s came with that option but if not i would settle for a better screen. any help is appreciated thank you .

 

Need more system info.

Current screen model to look up sizes that fit?

CPU?
GPU?

Looking for 1080/4K?
60mhz/120mhz/144mhz?
Gaming or daily use?
Colors 262K / 1B+?

 

Sorry about that
I found this info for the screen
LCD Screen info
Size:
14.0" WideScreen info
Resolution:
HD (1366x768) info
Surface Type:
Glossy info
Video Connector:
40 pin video connector

CPU intel i5 3340m 2.70 ghz
GPU HD Graphics 4000
probably 1080p idk if it would do 4k
probably for daily use i dont think this can handle any top of the line games or am i mistaken? all i would want to play would be cod if that
as for colors im not sure what would you recommend?

 

Well, being a 14" panel it's going to be a bit more limited in what you can do.

If you run HWINFO it will give you the panel info, specifically the model # is what makes this a bit easier to figure out.

Then taking the panel info and throw it into panelook.com will give you dimensions for fitting it to the lid.

At least you should be able to find a couple of options for 1080 / 262K colors.

 

I tried HWINFO and got unknown model ms9003 for the monitor any other ideas?

 

Well, there's a handful of 4K models:
https://www.panelook.com/sizmodlist.php?st=&pl=&so_attr=&sizes[]=1400&resolution_pixels=8720

There a lot more 1080 options:
https://www.panelook.com/sizmodlist.php?st=&pl=&so_attr=&sizes[]=1400&resolution_pixels=8180

There might be more definitive model information on the back of the panel itself since HWINFO isn't providing something we can lookup.

If you take the make/model and google screen replacement it should pull up options if it's been done before and using one of those results will provide the info I'm looking for to get things narrowed down. The outline size / pin count are primary targets to get something that fits both. From there it's fine tuning on display options.

 

it's probably a 40pins LVDS so you are limited to 1080p60 but I don't think there was any 14" LVDS panel with a better definition than 900p or 945p neither IPS display.

 

hello,
i just bought a G17 G713QM, it works great but the screen colors are awful, the screen is 45% ntsc 144hz (BOE0995 - BOE NV173FHM-NX4), I wanted to know if I could change the screen. a model with 72% ntsc would be good for example.
if you would have a product number would be even better.

thank you in advance

 

@ mnlk2

If you read the last 2 pages you'll be able to figure this out.

https://www.panelook.com/NV173FHM-NX4_BOE_17.3_LCM_overview_48907.html

#2 which is FHD but only 60hz

The rest are 4K but #3 has a 10ms response time which is faster than the first 2

All have double the brightness of your current panel

https://www.panelook.com/sizmodlist.php?st=E20&pl=&so_attr=&sizes[]=1730&st=E20&by=desc&page=2 - if you want to sift through the options for something different like higher refresh rate or limit the options to FHD or 4K only

 

thank you for reply,

with this panel only the 3rd (B173ZAN03.3) can fully do the job, all other are only 60hz refresh rate. but the edp wire is the same for 1080p and 4k ?
and my screen is realy 144hz, and in panellook they said 120 hz, why ?

 

It is what it is.

eDP cables can work for both FHD / 4K. In my instance I needed a different cable since my laptop came with a 30<>30 and there was a 30<>40 for 4K or higher end displays.

120 vs 144 isn't that big of a difference. If you look under the link at the bottom of the last reply you get everything w/o being picked out for you. The 4K/60 is a normal configuration and it works fine for most applications. There are maybe a handful of higher refresh rate 4K panels on the market but, it's rare for this sort of application in comparison to TV panels and they're hard to track down in stock unless you're ok paying ~$300 for one.

Double check your service manual for part #'s if you're considering the 4K option to see if they provided a different cable for 4K vs FHD.

 

my edp cable has 40 pin so maybe dont need to buy a new one.
one last question, i play only in 1080p, a 4k diplay 60hz will have higher refresh rate in 1080p ?. i seach about that for these screen, but i dont find anything

 

RR won't change with changing the resolution.

Gaming depends more on the game you're playing and the need for speed.

 

my game are 80% FPS and 20% wow, that's why i ask for refresh rate

 

i finally buy a AUO B173han4.0, just install it, and work fine for now, better color, lower response time, same refresh rate, all is good for now
just game visual don't work, but not a problem

 

Hey everybody. I just bought a Lenovo Y520 with 60 hz IPS panel. The model is this one. This panel is horrible in fact of color accurate and max brightness like tests of the notebook can confirm. I want to upgrade the panel with one that has a better color accurate and a higher max brightness. I dont really care about hz so i would be fine with an 60 hz panel but it should not be too slow because i want to play games on it. I found this panel:
AUO B156HAN04.2, which specs sounds very fine. Does that work in my case? Does it technically make problems that the original panel has only 6bit color depth and the new one 8?

 

@ Panda007

If you download HWINFO it will spit out the current screen so you can do a side by side comparison on https://panelook.com/ to verify they're compatible in size / connector / electrical

 

i made exactly that and it seems like identical in case of size/connector and electrical (3,3v) but maybe there is more to consider like color bit depth of the panel and hz? Someone mentioned that the brightness keys of the keyboard could not work after a panel change.

 

There's a ton of variables from bios / cable / panel / voltage and so on.

Give it a shot then to see how it performs and go from there. If it doesn't work then returns can be a pain depending on where you're buying from. if it does work then you're good to go.

 

Ye thats why i plan to buy from a "local" dealer and not from china.

 

CN isn't always a bad situation.... I bought "locally" and ended up returning them because they weren't exact models I had ordered. Ended up going through CN and got the panel / cable I needed in a single transaction.

 

i mean in fact of returns i think CN is bad or do you have other experiences?

 

I went through 3 different options total.

1. sent a compatible model - returned
2. didn't actually have it in stock = refunded
3. confirmed everything and tracked down the edp cable I needed as well

 

Which 30pin cable is required for this display?
https://www.panelook.com/NV156FHM-N4B_BOE_15.6_LCM_parameter_34862.html
(eDP (2 Lanes) , HBR2 (5.4G/lane) , 30 pins Connector)

@Tech Junky

 

Depends more on the laptop you're using rather than the panel.

For instance my particular board has a 30P connector and the panel I went with had a 40P. Whether or not OEM's wire the socket on the MOBO differently or not probably isn't something someone has investigated since a mismatch could cause things to fry. AFAIK there isn't a universal cable to use.

 

Is this panel original or fake?

 

Something's off here. The FRU number for a start, only matches a 13.3in HD laptop panel for a Lenovo. The product number is for a NV156QUM-N43...

 

So I just got a Precision 7560 with a BOE NV156FHM-N4R, and it has horrible PWM flickering. I want to change the display, and I think I will purchase a 40-pin cable with the 0.4-to-0.5mm cable adaptor in this thread.

Any recommendations for a new display? I've been looking at the B156ZAN05.1 4K 120 Hz mini-LED display, but I am afraid it might not work with the Precision.

 

NOT needed unless you have a different pitch on the GPU side.

https://www.panelook.com/modelcompare.php?ids=48045,42501


However, going from 1080@60 to 4K@120 is a big jump in bandwidth
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/quadro-rtx-5000-mobile.c3431 - based on this though I don't see it having any issue.

 

I still need a 40-pin cable, and the Dell 40-pin cable supplied with the 4K display option has a 0.4mm pin pitch. My current display has 30 pins.

 

Ok, but if you try to use a 0.4 on a 0.5 it won't be the best idea to do so. Like I said before, if the GPU is 0.5mm and the panel is 0.5mm then don't mix in an adapter if you don't need to. It only introduces another point of failure down the road.

If the dell Panel is 0.4mm which it sounds like is the case then just use a different cable. In my case the gpu is 30P and my original panel was 30P. The new one is 30P <> 40P and there was a cable for that.

The only panels that come to mind using a 0.4mm pitch are AUO. The important thing about these cables is the length making sure they're at least as long as the original so you don't pinch them when opening/closing the lid. Otherwise due to standards swapping a Dell / HP / Acer / Asus / etc. cable shouldn't be an issue as long as the pins match both ends.

 

Does someone know if OLED panel are driven the same as regular eDP panel ? Can we simply swap an IPS panel to an OLED panel ?
I would like to upgrade the display on my Precision 7550 to a 4k OLED panel, the laptop is already able to drive a "regular" 4k IPS panel.
There is the list of current available OLED panel (some are already available on Aliexpress) :

Hello,

I have ASUS F555LP with 1366x768 resolution.
The original screen model number is LG LP156WHB-TLA1.
The original cable label is X555LD-1B, 40 pins LVDS (1 ch, 6-bit), PN: 1422-01UN0AS.

Is it possible to upgrade to FHD such as LP156WF4-SLC1 ?
I think I need a new LVDS cable (2 ch. 6-bit). Can you please inform me about the new LVDS cable? Which Part Number?

Thanks,
Michele

 

My 1080p laptop screen has 40pin 0.4mm pitch, ive got a 1440 screen that is 40pin but 0.5mm pitch. Are the pin outs the same if i just got an adapter or am i going to fry something?

 

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/msi-gt75-8rg-screen-upgrade.834742/page-9#post-11085360

@Pedro69 did a replacement similar to this and found an adapter for the panel. Chances are you're existing panel is AUO and the new one is not. AUO is the only 0.4mm pitch OEM I can think of.

 

Thanks

 

Hello.
The left panel is my current panel, the right is the one I want to buy. Is it compatible?

Comparison Link: https://www.panelook.com/modelcompare.php?ids=27048,34862

• (NT156FHM-N41) BOE 15.6 inch 60Hz eDP (2 Lanes), eDP1.2, HBR1 (2.7G/lane), 30 pins Connector

• (NV156FHM-N4B) BOE 15.6 inch 144Hz eDP (2 Lanes), HBR2 (5.4G/lane), 30 pins Connector

Also what is the difference between HBR1 (2.7G/lane) and HBR2 (5.4G/lane)?

 

The extra bandwidth gives you the ability to have a higher RR at higher RES.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort

 

@Tech Junky Thank you. Did you have a look at my question above? Actually, I've asked the same question before. I ordered the 144Hz panel I mentioned from two different stores. Unfortunately, both were fake. This made me very sad.

 

@ Aka Coo

Didn't see it or missed a "question" comparing display labels.

The key to the display game is to find a reputable retailer. I've used and sent people to kreplacement.com and so far no complaints from anyone ordering from them other than 1 shipping delay.

When I was looking at panels that was one thing but, finding someone that ships the actual panel became another issue in itself. I ordered from a couple of different places before having to send back "compatible" models they had sent vs what I ordered. Focusing on the labels attached is one thing but, when you install it and run HWINFO to doublecheck the the info electronically will verify whether it's the correct panel or something else.

There's always going to be counterfeit items and it's how you deal with them that matters. Not much you can do to report fake items outside of your own country and get action taken against the offending company.

 

@Tech Junky
You are really right. Therefore, those who want to replace the screen should be very careful. By the way, my question was:

In the link, the left panel is my current panel, and the right one is the panel I want to buy. Is it compatible?

Comparison Link: https://www.panelook.com/modelcompare.php?ids=25578,34862

 

@ Aka Coo

Looks like it would fit and appear better with better color coverage.

Do you want "more" out of the new panel though? Higher RR? More colors 16.7m vs 1.07b? Perhaps 4K?

 

@Tech Junky
Of course I would like better but I think the best panel for 30pin EDP lane is NV156FHM-N4B. Because all other panels are 40pin. I don't know how to convert 30pin to 40pin. :|
