Upgrading XGA to SVGA+? What do I need?

[stackcheddar]

The other day I broke the LCD on my T60 (model number 1951-4BM). I believe it was a 14.1” XGA LCD screen. So now I’m looking for a new LCD but I thought I would upgrade as well.

I’ve seen a few SXGA+ screens on eBay. Will it work if I just take out the broken XGA and just plug in the SXGA+? Will I need different hardware like cables or a different inverter card? If so how do I find out what model/type of cable/inverter I need?

well yeah you'll need a new cable but other than that you shouldn't need anything else.

Oh and yea just make sure you buy the right size, Would suck to get a nice 15" SXGA+ screen and you have a 14" laptop

Thanks for the info...

Also I can't find the cable on eBay so I think I'll just buy it from Lenovo but I'm not sure which part I should be getting. My laptop does have bluetooth so I should be getting the "LCD cable assembly with Bluetooth (14.1in)" FRU 91P6984 right?

There could be more to that. All T60 (correct me if I'm wrong) with SXGA+ use dedicated graphics like X1300 or X1400. I could mean that integrated graphics does not support SXGA+
