here's the idea:
my current laptop has a LED display with a very poor luminance (200) and a WXGA resulution 15.6 HD display.
So, I thought it might be a good idea to replace it with a better one.
to make things not too complicated, I stayed in the LED market.
but, my idea was "hey, my GPU can handle triple monitor (LVDS / full HD VGA / full HD HDMI), why not just 'upgrade' the LVDS screen with a full HD one?"
so I started browsing, and found some models which are suitable (same physical size, almost same power draw), and have a luminance of 300nit.
but, there's one difficulty when looking at the pin assignment of wxga vs full hd displays:
wxga display (look at page 8)
full hd display (look at page 18)
most of you will notice the unused data pins of the wxga display (20-30) are actually used in the full HD display
So, what are my chances here? is a GPU with a 40-pin LVDS connector currently capable of using those pins by default? or do I need to perform additional research before performing such an (unsupported) action?
Note: I know how to disassemble my laptop: the cpu, hdd, wifi, keyboard, and dvd have already been replaced by an unsupported upgrade
