How to UPGRADE your laptop screen!!

I got the Lenovo V14 G2 late last year and it had... a disappointing screen. So, I took charge of things and decided to upgrade it to a beautiful screen.
These steps should work for *most* laptops, but not all. Cetain laptops won't have any details in the database, so you'll have to dismantle the laptop and look for it yourself.

You are lucky mate that your Video screen Flex cable it's EDP 1 and EDP 2, some laptops are only using EDP 1 and in that case you are not able to use a 1080p screen for upgrade :( cause 1080p screens needs 2 lanes (EDP 2). A good way to know if your laptop video screen flex cable is EDP 2 if it is your laptop model has more versions like let's say Hp bla bla 500 and you look for your model and put 1080p in google and there are one or two versions of your laptop with better specs and maybe more expensive than yours your video flex could be EDP 2 :) cause the version of the model you have it was cheaper and only with a 1366x768 screen. There are many cases that you can buy an IPS 1080p screen and won't turn on in the laptop :(
Just a tip just in case.
If I check your screen model AUO B140XTN07.7 it's EDP 1.2 and the other one N140HCG-GQ2 it's EDP 2!
Thanks for the video! It was very useful!

Thank you for this! Upgraded my MSI GP66 from a 1080p 300 nit screen to a 1440p 400 nit and it is so much better!

I didn't even realise you did this upgrade for yourself using my guide! 😅

[PedroHenriquePS]

Really interesting information here, not only for laptops but also other projects. I wonder if we can add touchscreen to an original non touch device

[fatalerror]

Thanks! You answered all my questions. Gonna try this on a Lenovo Ideapad 3, as it's screen is a big drawback.

you have no idea how long i've been searching for this kind of video. i bought the same laptop last year and was really disappointed with the screen and have been searching on panelook for an upgrade and found the BOE NV140FHM-N66. havent done anything yet since i have zero confidence with it and dont want to end up with it being incompatible

[mysterio]

Nice video. I'll try this later this year!

I have the exact same laptop and I can confirm the screen is pretty bad. But the good thing about low resolution screens is, you can actually play games on it since the GPU doesn't have to push as many pixels on it. I managed to play Ace Combat 7 on it at low settings and it's playable at that low resolution. Now I'm split between having a better screen and being able to do light gaming on the laptop..:)

Can we upgrade 8bit display to 10 bit display and ips display to oled display 😅😅?? If yes then do make vid about it as well cuz there is no video over yt about this topic!!

[yasharhakemi]

Great video❤
My laptop default panel is 1chanell 6 bit lvds Can i use 1080p panel with that?

[kaiguyniki]

Very interesting video. I'm thinking about upgrading my hp x360 screen to get thinner bezels and a brighter touchscreen. I hope I can find one though 😂

[AdvancedGamingYT]

So if the specs match it's just plug and play? Did you run into any software issues?

[vskivines]

kya IPS display ko hata kar OLED display lagva sakte hai.

Thank you i was thinking to upgrade my msi katana ips fhd panel to a 1440p panel 👍

Having learnt from your video, I just tried to upgrade my old Samsung notebook NP270e5g 15.6’’ screen, from its orginal panel Chimei Innolux model to its higher resolution one

Existing panel
Chimei Innolux model N156BGE-L11
Resolution 1366*768 / LDVS

Newly installed
Chimei Innolux model N156HGE-L11
Resolution 1920*1080 / LDVS

After replacement, the screen merely switched ON and nothing displayed throughout
a) Please have your professional advice.
b) This panel supplier informed the high resolution cable is required. I wonder this only apply to eDP panel. Not these LDVS panels before and after, please advise.

I am wondering if "Sunlight readable" means it is a matte screen.

[priyankagosh]

Hi quick question can u upgrade the refresh rate 60 hz to 144 hz

[assassingamerzzsd]

Can you pls make a video for displays suitable for asus tuf a15 2021

[templar.]

is it possible to add a lock to a display that doesnt already have one? my laptop uses face up and down slugs (on the hinges) to hold the display in place but there are only 2 display options available to me in that configuration and their specs are insanely poor.
