XGA Lenovo T60 screen change

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.

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.

They will have different part numbers. Check the hardware maintenance manual for the numbers.

No need to change cable.
