Can you put whatever laptop screen on whatever laptop?

[DanWhite]

Can you do that? or what do you need to make X type of screen to work with X laptop?

 

Thank you in advance!

What do you mean by this? Replace the internal display of the laptop, or use an external display?

The internal

[Helpful Tech Witch]

If you mean internal display, no, from my experience with laptops, they usually have some propriatary conector. If you are talking about external, you can do any display, though you might need a adaptor.

If you mean grabbing a dell xps pannel and trying to get it to work on a hpx360, then no, majority of panels have proprietary connectors and you're gonna need some soldering if you want to get around that.

You cannot replace the internal display of a laptop with any old display you find on the internet. It would need to be compatible with the laptop you have.

If you actually take apart the screen you will find that it will have a proprietary display connector.

 

So in answer to your question, you need X screen for X laptop

There's not like an adaptor for that?

It would need to be the same size and have the same connector on the back.

So there's not any possible way of grabbing a juicy $70 120hz laptop screen and make it work as if it is my internal display?

Do some googling. 

 

If your model never had a 120hz option, then it's probably going to be a hard no. And if it did, as the rest of the posters already said, it must be compatible with your laptop.

Then rip me, normal 120hz are expensive as balls

Yeah there's an expensive adapter that needs soldering,

I really dont recommend you to try and replace your laptop screen on your own, its not a good idea but theoreticly you would need to find a compatible screen
