Ok, I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to hardware stuff. I have a Thinkpad T490 with the 1920x1080 non-touch screen. My complaint is that I ended up with the model with only 45% NTSC. I would like to upgrade to something with 72%.
AFAICT, my screen’s model # is N140HCA-EAC. 30-pin connector. Is this - https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Lenovo/FRU~01YN154/ compatible?
I already know there’s no blocks or whatever in the bios preventing an upgrade, just want to make sure I buy the right thing. Would rather not ship from China so NA sellers are good.
(btw I obtained the model of what I have now by running “edid-decode </sys/class/drm/card0-eDP-1/edid”, I’m on Linux)
I looked up my serial number and I got this: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t490-type-20n2-20n3/20n3/20n3s2ya00/pf14q52k/parts/display/as-built?linkTrack=Caps%3ABody_SearchProduct&searchType=6&keyWordSearch=pf14q52k which lists two displays (so I guess mine could have either) but neither has brackets. So I should pick a new display without brackets too?
I’d personally do that. You can clip them off of course, but I don’t know how they affect the dimension measurements.
