T480 20L6 FHD to 2K60HDR from X1C 6G

#1 Post by Glitchy » Mon May 17, 2021 9:04 am

After some research of many sites and detailed info - 20L5 and 20L6 have 40 pin eDP and accept B140QAN02.0 2K HDR panel of the X1C6.
Can anyone confirm me before I order all the parts and the actual laptop?
Thank You.

Hi Guys, instead of opening new thread I'll just follow up with this one.

Type 20L6-S37W0Y - T480 FHD IPS touch display. AUO B140HAK01.0, an office space work horse of poor colour reproduction 45%NTSC and not very bright maxing at 250nits.

If I did my homework right, it has a 40pin eDP ribbon, but I came across conflicting info:
- it works with QHD and UHD panels as is 40pin connector
- it does NOT work with QHD or UHD panels as it is a "touch" 40pin cable.
What is true?

I'm looking at this QHD matt screen to fit in: LG-Philips B140QAN02.0 HW0A LCD 14".
Will it work with original eDP cable in my T480? Is it a straight fit, or are there any modifications needed? Filing, double side tape, ect?

Or maybe B140QAN01.5 QHD IPS from UK? Edit: seller replied they have LP140QH1(SP)(F1) only in stock now (3rd Nov.2021)

Alternatively I am considering a 4K panel NV140QUM-N53 glossy but 500nits and HDR

I'm looking forward to any suggestions from your side. Maybe some other displays that are straight fit in replacements.

I bought 4K UHD NV140QUM-N53, waiting for it to be delivered from Germany to Ireland, hopefully next week.
I wonder if it will work with the FHD IPS touch 40pin cable in my T480.
