    Judging from the screen shot below.. Is it possible to upgrade the LED of my MSI GT60 (16F3) to a much better specs? say a 120hz or other a much better model that I can replace with the the stock LED of my nb? Although I Don't know if it's possible because I've seen some AW user's who have a 120hz LED screen but cannot run when using a 9xxm videocard.

    I don't think 120hz internal display is an option as I don't think that LVDS supports that. You would require an EDP connection on the board.

    You could try and get one of those higher gamut screens. If your laptop doesn't leave the desktop like mine, then I would personally recommend you put your money into a good external display.

    You can't with a 40pin lvds connector no, you can get the 95% gamut AUO display as the best option.

    Also your 16F3 is optimus enabled so the LCD output is handled by the HD4600 iGPU which does not support 120Hz internal panels AFAIK. To make things "worst" we can't even OC our panels again because of optimus :p
