Another interesting option might be the 500 nit, 100% Adobe RGB panel from the new X1C.

Yes, it is really good option. Big question is the price and availability.
My previous post updated with Notebook check measurements.

Re: T420s/T430s WQHD kits pre-order
Any chance that a Panasonic VVX14T058J00 panel (WQHD used in T670s) will be compatible with this kit?
Probably not the best panel, but might be cheaper than the best panels.

Great news! I'm so looking forward to this
It think it would be good to add the list of compatible panels on the first post, just for the sake of clarity...

Re: T420s/T430s WQHD kits pre-order
For those of you who are fed up with feebay but still wanna a third party gurantee
Price is $67.5 as of now. I'm uncertain whether Etsy would be a PITA like feebay or not. But if it turns out to be reliable the price would only slightly (~$1-2 ) more than paypal
Etsy link:

Re: T420s/T430s WQHD kits pre-order
I'm very excited to do this upgrade. I bought a T430s to replace my crappy Samsung Ultrabook, and it's already way more fun to use. A nice screen will make this an absolute dream machine
Re: T420s/T430s WQHD kits pre-order
woot!! I'm excited....so excited!
Now the dilemma for me is - do I keep my T420s i7 (it heats up quickly for some reason) or do I try and procure a T430s i7 for a good price and mod that one? Thinking the T430s will be better in terms of power handling and performance?
And I can do the keyboard mod on the T430s....just may need to find someone to help with the security chip thingy so I can use a whitelisted AC7260 Wifi card....

Re: T420s/T430s WQHD kits pre-order
I have sucessfully installed coreboot on my T430s - so no problem with wifi-cards at all . It is very likely though that you need to do some soldering, because the original bios eeprom is not easily accessible with an external programmer.
Re: T420s/T430s WQHD kits pre-order
Long time lurker and finally registered so I could say thanks for doing this upgrade!
Ordered one through the PayPal link a few minutes ago
The search for a screen begins!

By "will alleviate" do you mean it at least has better resistance to flicker compared to the initial T420/T430 FHD mod?

Secure Boot - maybe (does it apply more strict checks to display EDIDs or something?), but Fast boot? That's just a mix between Hibernate and Shutdown.
