• Batch 1 : completed
  All orders shipped.
  Update (Jan 25): If you see multiple 'processed through facility at MOSKVA PCI-21' records in your tracking info, that means Russian Post decided to use ground shipping instead of air. That's a usual situation for US and Canada destinations during the holiday season.
• Batch 2 : dispatching/in production
  All kits are pre-ordered.
  Update (Feb 20): Production is going to take a little bit longer than expected due to delayed shipping of some components. Current ETA is ~ March 15.
  Update (May 06): Kits are being assembled and tested.
  Update (May 08): First kits were prepared for shipping.
  Update (May 13): First kits were shipped.
  Update (May 27): Remainings of the second batch parts handed for assembly (ETA is 20 days).
  Update (June 4): Next 21 orders were prepared for shipping.
  Update (June 5): 20 orders were shipped.
• Batch 3 : design is under development
  5th revision of the adapter board won't have the sense wire, which is tricky to solder for some users.
  I'll send order to factory once the new design is finished and tested.

• Q: Does this mod affect internal DisplayPort?
  A: No. The adapter board connects to Dock DisplayPort #2.
• Q: Does the brightness control work?
  A: Brightness control does work in dual display mode. Otherwise brightness is fixed at 100%. BIOS patch is required to overcome this limitation (I'm working on it).
• Q: Does this mod support WQHD displays?
  A: No. WQHD requires 4 DisplayPort lanes while the adapter board (and the eDP cable) provide only 2.
• Q: Can I use docking station with this mod?
  A: You can use UltraBase Series 3 without any problem. However, when using Mini Dock Series 3, the internal display will go blank (and second DVI/DisplayPort on dock will be non functional). To overcome this issue, you can tape a row of DP#2 pins inside the docking connector. A guide for this will be posted soon.
• Q: Does this mod support X220T/X230T?
  A: No. However, it's absolutely possible to design special version of the adapter board that would fit in tablet. If there's enough interest, I'll get a tablet and make a mod for it.
• Q: What shipping method do you use?
  A: The kit is shipped as small registered package (you'll have a tracking number).
• Q: I have just submitted the order form, what should I do now?
  A: Patience! I'll receive your order and will reply with payment instructions if there's a kit available for you. I ship in 2-3 days after you make the payment and send you a tracking number.
• Q: Why is Pepe on the PCB?
  A: Smug Pepe depicts the feel I got when I first made FHD display work in my X230. Then it just occurred to me that it would be a nice touch to put Pepe on the board, and so I did.

timsydney wrote: Have you seen these displays side by side? Panelook says the SPB3 is 6 bit color at 400 nits, and the SPB4 is 8 bit at 300 nits. Do you think these are accurate and is there a big difference in brightness between the displays? 400 nits is in the range of outdoor usable, do you think that's the case?
