upgrading laptop displays

[GMS12121]

I want to upgrade the display on my HP 15-p011tx laptop. Is this possible? I'm sick of this 1366x768 resolution display with horrible viewing angles and would like to upgrade it if I can. If anyone knows where to buy upgrades please speak up

My specs are:

- i7-4510u

- gt840m

- 8GB ram (has been upgraded from 4GB)

- 750GB HDD

You would need to replace the whole screen panel which you really cant do...

Yes you can, but its not straight forward. I have done this on my hp envy laptop about 6 months ago.

For your laptop (i did a quick google search) you need a new display panel (full hd in your case) and ALSO a new display cable. The one built into YOUR laptop is only rated to run 768p to your 768p screen, so you will need to buy this as well.

Use this link to help you find the parts needed: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04402649  (PAGE 88)

Also: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC-series/6936226/model/7132565/manuals

Looking at this your laptop screen part number is: 764623-001 (Full HD non touch)

and this is the cable part number: 762544-001 (Full HD cable)

 

I would also buy my screen from laptopscreen.com, this is who i used when upgrading, great price and product.

https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/HP-Compaq/764623-001/ ( <--- there are 4(four) types of screens you can get FHD glossy and matte and FHD IPS glossy and matte. The IPS panel are apparently slightly thicker so it may or may not fit)

 

The display cable you might need to do a quick google search on to get a good price as my google results are mostly New Zealand web sites.

 

Hope this is enough info for you,

 

cheers

as posted above it is possible, I've also done it myself for a few people.. but it's not worth the effort.

if you want a better experience get a better laptop.

your 840m may handle 1080p but it's not going to be a great experience and you may run into issues.

also a lot of laptop screen panels and WiFi antenna are combined and often require some soldering if you're replacing the entire Lcd and back panel.

this isn't correct for all laptops but acer and Asus tend to do this.
