Greetings. I have HP ENVY 17-j111tx laptop and need to replace the screen due to a line of stuck pixels.The max resolution of the current LCD that is to be replaced is 1600x900.Would it be possible to replace it with a LCD that has a resolution of 1920x1080 and get the laptop to run at that resolution ? The laptop has dual GPUs ie Intel HD Graphics 4600 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M...if any other info is required please let me know.Thanks.
 
Solution
yes. look at the 2nd & 4th screen in this link. http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/HP-Compaq/ENVY~17-J111TX/
go with the matte finish as less reflection.

Thanks a bunch for the reply.So basically the resolution is screen dependent and the manufacturer cant somehow disable the graphics cards from providing higher resolutions ?
