hallo
i have to buy a new lcd screen for my X60; i found a FRU# 42T0343 CMO lcd screen and a FRU# 13N7096 SAMSUNG lcd screen for about the same price ( the Samsung ones is little bit expensive, 25$ more) so which are the differences between the two LCD screen? are the same quality (build quality , brightness, hours of use etc etc)? which is the best? thankyou all

Are we talking about the X60s in your sig here? If so, I believe that takes a different LCD than a regular X60. What is the machine type/model number for your laptop? .e.g Mine is a 1702-3QU

no! sorry the LCD screen is the same ! it changes only about spwg and tmd model ! the only other difference is for brand trademark! and maybe that is the same for X61-X61s models! in any case mine is 1706-e3u! look here:

Hydis 13N7094
Samsung 13N7096
CMO 42T0343

According to the wiki, they all have the same DPI and brightness.

FRU 13N7092 is for an X60s Ultralight, and that is brighter. You do not have an ultralight model. That was what I was thinking of before when I mentioned differences in LCDs for X60 models.

thankyou
no is a spwg model...even if i see that in ebay it is possible to buy the single part to assembly a TMD model ..and the price of a TMD is quite the same of a SPWG lcd screen.
but then an X60 1703-e3u could fit a TMD complete screen ? ( assemblyed with all the righ parts such as cover lid, lcd cable, and what else? inverter? hinges? antennas?)
i ask this just because i love brighter lcd such as the VAIO Xblack; so if i could ...maybe that in future, if the mb and bottom case fit an ultralight, i'll swap the SPWG screen with a TMD. this is only a project..but maybe...

The cover and bezel are different for an Ultralight (TMD) LCD. So basically you could install one on your machine, but you'd have to get an entire ultralight LCD/lid assembly to do it, or else all of the parts individually.
