    How hard is it to switch a gt73vr pro gtx 1080 with a uhd 4k screen to a fhd 1080p screen. Is a cable needed or more of straight swap if at all possible?

    It's a straight swap as long as the connector is identical.

    Thanks what I was hoping to hear. I know the 1080p 120hz panels i found are 40pin but I don't know what the 4k panel is. If I decide to buy it least I know there is a good chance it wouldn't cost to much to change the screen

    im going to buy this laptop model now (4k display) could you share your results in some games (FPS, graphics settings) to compare if i buy this one or the 120Hz model, or this one then swap the LCD
