XGA Lenovo T60 screen change

#1 Post by keturkaimis » Sat Mar 24, 2012 5:21 am

Hi all,

I have Lenovo T60 with XGA (1024x768) display. And for me this resolution is to low, I want bigger resolution. Impossible to change XGA display to SXGA or bigger? Or somehow increase XGA display resolution :D

Thanks for all. (Bad language, because I from Lithuania)

Welcome to the forum. :)

Yes, it's possible.

You can get a different, high resolution display, or a whole lid (changing the whole lid is a somewhat simpler process).

If your T60 is 14", you can get SXGA+.

If your T60 is 15", you can get SXGA+ or UXGA. Both of these are nice because they are improvement not only in resolution but also in screen quality - they use IPS panels.
Current: X220 4291-4BG, T410 2537-R46, T60 1952-F76, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G
Collectibles: T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X32 (IPS Screen)
Retired: X61 7673-V2V, A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
Past: Z61t 9440-A23, T60 2623-D3U, X32 2884-M5U

You might want to post you're looking for one here in the marketplace forum. Otherwise, eBay is a good option.

No, you will need an IBM/Lenovo original part with an IBM/Lenovo P/N or FRU.
Anything else will not work, because it is missing the required (IBM/Lenovo specific) EDID chip.
