    hi I've got a median x6817 branded ms-16f2 but it only comes with a 1366 by 768 resolution screen and the colours aren't as great as I was hoping for especially coming from a macbook pro.

    I was hoping to upgrade it to a full 1080p screen I've already taken the bezel off and found out the current screen is a Samsung LTN156AT05, I just want to know if its possible to install a MSI GT683R screen MICROSTAR MSI GT683R FULL HD LAPTOP LCD SCREENS | MICROSTAR MSI GT683R FULL HD SCREEN REPLACEMENT
    they both have 40 pin connectors on the left hand side and seeing as there basically the same laptop will this work?
    thanks guys

    If the pin connectors are the same, this upgraded screen should work.

    You will need a 2 channel lvds cable as well. But then yes it would.

    To change from the 1366 x 768 to the 1920 x 1080 FHD you have to change the LVDS cable from the HD to the FHD below:

    MS-16F2 FHD LVDS And Camera Cable K19-3031001-V03

    Not sure what that is, it is not a full msi part number. The latest part number I can find for the 16F2 FHD is the one i gave you above.

    I seen that too but if you zoom in on the image you can see it ends in -H39, i've also sent the part number to msi asking if this is a FullHD cable still no reply yet. I see you've got the part on your website but I live in the uk would you be able to give me ruff estimate of the shipping price thanks.

    Yes I saw the 'H39" also but am not aware of the part number. This is not to say it is not correct but not listed in any current part catalogs we have access to. The "H39" are usually superceeded by "V03" which are the latest cable part numbers.
