Can the T60 use WUXGA panels?

[iModFrenzy]

I took a look at the T60 LCD thread but there wasn't any mention of WUXGA panels from the T61s.

Would this work? A 1080p resolution on the T60 would be nice.

Thanks! and sorry if this question has been asked before

Nope, wrong form factor. They can use either UXGA or QXGA panels.

Model numbers are LTN150U1 AND IAQX10 respectively


Edit: woops forgot about the 16:10 models. As long as its 16:10 15.4" it should work. Remember, my listed LCDs are IPS and your WUXGA lcd is TN.

There is a 15.4" T60 and T60p. The only "advantage" it has over later T61 and T500 is an aesthetically pleasing centered display. The lid back is one piece of painted magnesium, like older T-series and the X-series, as opposed to the plastic over magnesium skeleton of T61 and T500. Supposedly the T61 and T500 get better wireless reception because they are less surrounded by metal.

You can surely install a WUXGA in a 15.4" T60. At the same time as the 15.4" T60's release there was a Lenovo Z61p with WUXGA.

However except for the aforementioned aesthetically pleasing lid, the 15.4" T60 is completely superseded by the 15.4" T61, T500, and W500. If you want 15.4" you should get one of the latter two for the following advantages: SD card reader, Turbo memory, Displayport, cheap DDR3, 8GB Max, SATA 2, and HD video decoding. They are still web capable today. The 3GB ram limit on a T60 limits it if you run many memory heavy programs and 8GB of DDR2 is twice as expensive as 8GB DDR3, so maxing a T61 seems unnecessarily costly, but you can do that if you really want. There are quad core and other CPU mods for T61 however so if you have the cash and love modding making a super T61 or Frankenpad has its appeal.

There are awesome WUXGA panels (1920x1200) around:
Sharp LQ154M1LW2A or LQ154M1LW02 (they are CCFL).
Those are/were used in several DELL laptops, they look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141847273124
You'll notice the two metal brackets on top, and the inverter below that panel.
Those need to be cut off (the upper two "shortened" to ca. 3mm is OK) without twisting the metal edge around the screen.
After that, it's a drop-in replacement in any 15.4" T60/T61/R60/R61/T500/R500 and possibly other 16:10 machines with CCFL.
You can reuse the Lenovo inverters.
