Used T520 and FHD LCD

#1 Post by tom3k380 » Sat Jun 27, 2015 5:06 pm

I'd like to get a used T520 off eBay, but they all do not come with a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Would it work if I were to buy the T520 and then get a 1920 x 1080 LCD?

Yes, but make sure you get a genuine panel, not a 'compatible' panel, else you might blow a fuse or be dissapointed with the quality. The part number is 04W1544.
