Anyone know if it would be possible to build the Envy 13 display into the p330?
Its 13.1" big compared to the 13.3" of the lg p330..
So does anyone have a clue?
Envy 13 display
The envy 13 display was one of the best laptop displays ever used

You've probably seen it already, but I created a little list myself in the owner's thread. The 13.1" vs 13.3" may be enough to actually cause problems, not to mention all the other requirements. The problem is that none of us have looked at the P330's panel, so we don't know anything about it. One of my main concerns is the slim bezel of the P330. It probably has quite uncommon mounting and dimensions, not that those are standardized anyway. Personally I would be more interested in the upcoming Asus UX31A's display. That's also a 13.3" panel, so that slightly increases the chances of it working.

BTW I found out that the panel in the lg p220 is the same as in the thinkpad x220 -
Mostly in these situations, the LVDS cable is the problem. Those laptops that use 6-bit 1366x768 screens are often equipped with gimped cables that only have 30 pins active on the cable, even if the other end fits a 40 pin panel.
Likely the task will be finding a compatible cable, if the dimensions are the same it usually works. -
1) Screen is of average quality
2) Keyboard keys are slightly rotatable
3) The power connector requires very little force to move around
Of course, the screen part is what annoys me the most since I think about what could've been. -
Only the screen bugs me, the power connector isnt that bad..
Talking about the screen, do you know any matte screen protectors that fit the p330? -
I haven't really looked for a matte screen protector. The surface of the screen is only semi glossy, so it hasn't been bothering me. -

Aren't there supposed to be two cables connected to the panel? I can only make out one coming out of the left hinge from the only picture of the internals posted here on NBR. Unfortunately the plug itself is covered by a sticker.

You cannot change the display panel. The panel and webcam is an all-in-one module(LG named this as Shuriken technology), making the mounting and size not compactible with any other displays in market. I already bought CPT CLAA133WA01, a 13.3 display with 900p resolution, but as soon as I disassembled the front cover, I realised that other display panels cannot fit P330. As far as I know, HP Folio 13 uses the same display module (Shuriken). I am eager to buy for a 900p module for this shuriken housing, not knowing if the module is in schedule. (Sorry for my bad English since I am Korean.)

Thanks for the info, nastylemon! I knew the P330 had a slimmer bezel than most other laptops out there, but I didn't know the 'shuriken technology' also meant that the webcam is part of the display. You didn't take any pictures during the disassembly process, did you?

Just out of curiosity: did you try hooking the panel up to the motherboard? Or maybe you remember how many pins the connector had? As far as I know no one has confirmed that the P330 would even be compatible with a panel that has a resolution beyond 768p.
Apart from not being able to use the mounting already in place, were there size constraints? Or is the Shuriken module simply taller because of the webcam? Thanks for your aid in this matter! -

In that case a panel from a slim ultrabook like the UX31A or UX32VD might not be out of the question. Of course, we still don't know how high a resolution the P330 supports but I would be more than happy to swap my panel for a good 768p panel as well.
