You know what grinds my gears? People who use a trim tool to take the keyboard out of the think pads.... all you have to do is put both hands flat on the keyboard and slide up. The keyboard will slide out of its notches. Some of these videos I watch it's so painful to see someone spend 3 minutes doing something that takes 3 seconds. Good God lol BUT NONE THE LESS, GREAT VIDEO. Subscribed

well done. i owe a T530 myself and had some issues upgrading the 1366 x 768 panel. my goal was a 1080p display but i couldn't get it to work. my guess is the LCD cable needs to be replaced. but i don't have alot of succes finding a HD+ cable. funny thing is, i found a pretty damaged HP probook at work with a 1600 x 900 display at work and i decided to take the screen and try it on my t530. and a little bit to my surprise the panel worked. now i was under the assumption that when your LCD cable supports 1600 x 900 it should also support 1080p. when i put in the 1080p display i see the bios display, i see the white dotted circle from win10 being loaded and then nothing. when i then hook it up to an external monitor i see the panel being recognized as a 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz panel. so i'm damn sure it's a bandwith limitation. if you guys got any idea's or theories i'd like to hear them :)

1600X900 is much better than the 1366X768, yeah, MUCH BETTER. Specially when you have the 15,6 inch series like T510, 520 or even 530.

thanks for this video.. .I've had my t420 for many years now. It's very dependable honestly. I didn't even realize the screen could be changed. I found an LG screen and cable so those are on the way. I made sure it was OEM/genuine. For all this time I've had 4gb of ram and a 300gb harddrive. It was slow. Just popped in another 4gb so 8gb total now, and a 256gb SSD... it's mind blowing why I did not do this sooner. The screen upgrade looks nice. It's a cheap mod so figure why not. Not sure how much better it is going to be honestly though. We'll see.. Great how to. I appreciate that you took out the screen itself. A lof of places sell the screen/bezel and why I bought was just the screen so this video will match up perfectly!

@@ensom I can turn my screen almost 90 degrees and still see what's on it. I do believe the viewing angles are better. I am not sure if all upgraded screens are such but the one I got is such an improvement over the lower resolution screen. I'm still using this laptop. Other than the battery not lasting long, it's the perfect size for me. I ended up dumping 16gb of ram in it just because I had it laying around. Just gotta pick up a new battery and I'm good to go.

@HardwareHackers
@HardwareHackers 7 лет назад
we looked into an i7 but peoples experience online was that they just run too hot for comfort on these machines! To be honest the little dual core i5 has proved more than enough for our usage when paired with a super fast SSD. The 8gb of ram is definitely a good move, we are still waiting to do ours. and the screen upgrade is FANTASTIC value for money.

Still looks abysmal. The screenshots make it look better than it is. Check out that gamma and unsaturated colors at 6:35 that no amount of color profiling will be able to fix. Of course taking a screenshot and viewing them on an actually good monitor will make it look decent.
@HardwareHackers
@HardwareHackers 7 лет назад
The screen is of no worse quality than the Factory fitted unit was, the T420 was never renowned for having a fantastic screen, unlike previous ThinkPads with their IPS panels but as a daily web surfer work horse the LED panel is bright enough, viewing angles are of no issue as its only ever being used at a desk. The purpose of the video was not to show any improvement of screen display quality, hence the use of screenshots (as there was no improvement, however there was no negative trade off either!) The purpose was to show the extra real estate that can be gained from such a swap.

We had a real good look online for you but couldn't find much at all to confirm or deny if it will work or not! We did notice that MOST review sites at the time of release were receiving review models that were fitted with 1600x900 HD+ screens of the same 14.1" screen size - So I would make an educated guess at YES it will be a straight swap if you have a 1366x768 panel currently!
