I/?m geeting a new laptop (the z61m by IBM) with a cracked LCD. Only a part of the lcd is broken but the rest of it is OK.
The current broken LCD is a WSXGA+ and to replace it myself it would cost me $220 but note that the Z61p which is basicly the same model could be puchased with a WUXGA. A WUXGA would cost me $300 but i've been told by a Tech that it will not work properly and that other laptops went bad due to LCD modifications.
Until then, i thought that Laptop LCDs were just like desktop monitors. The z61m come with and ATI x1400 so is the z61p unless upgraded to the V5200 fire GL. They are the exact same enclosure motherboard and such and the only difference between the 2 is an bigger hard drive and faster CPU.
Did anyone ever upgraded a laptop LCD to another LCD of the smae model with an higher resolution?
