    has anyone tried this. Is there a 14" screen that does 1080p or wuxga or 1600x1200. I think I remember I had an old Dell c610 14" that was 1600x1200. I love the ergonomics of the t420 but 1600x900 isn't enough space for me. I'm hoping the t440s screen will fit and work on a t420.

    No it will not work without *major* mods...and the same would apply to any similar screen, if you found one in the first place...
