UXGA (1600x1200) inside a 14.1 inch T61, possible?

#1 Post by jeffbaichina » Tue Mar 06, 2018 4:21 pm

Hi,

Out of curiosity, I was searching Panelook and found the following 14.1 inch LVDS screens with 1600x1200 resolution...

Does anyone have any experience with these panels on a 14.1 inch T61?

Best Regards,
Mingcong Bai

Yes, it is possible, and yes it can be done, and yes it has been done. One problem, they made about 3 screens ever. Good luck finding one. They were I believe used in 2 ~2002 or 2003 (P4M) Dell Latitude and Inspirion 4150. You won't find one and they are not very good screens when you get them for what I've read.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Pin 2 on SHARP LCD needs to get clipped because of different pinouts. It is a redundant ground that unless removed kills the motherboard.

I found one last year on eBay, in perfect condition. Inside an Inspiron that was stored as a backup for many years in a company. Arrived with a broken screen :(

That was the only one I have ever seen since I started searching. Good luck!

I wonder if you can order it on panelook or other LCD sites?

Stock: 0. A few sites "look" to have it but who knows.
