    That is a pretty impressive screen.
    If you think you can swap and have the time/money, go for it :D

    Does it require special drivers for 10-bit color or are the existing Catalyst drivers sufficient?

    i must say VERY impressive, love the viewing angles.
    although i'd rather have a 3d screen if i had the option.

    Most latest cards and drivers support the 10-bit mode,
    but Windows is still behind, lol.
    There's problem with Aero when enabling it, plus some strange issues on cold boot.
    BTW, I keep it @ 8-bit and still, it's far beyond any other laptop screen I've ever seen.
    If the connectors match the ones in our M17X, there's a hope ;)

    Yeah, with the angles and colors, all we need is to put it in a notebook with Clevo cooling and AW quality.... Dreams...

    You should make a Franken-book. ;)

    AW chasis, with a HP screen attached and Clevo heatsinks.

    Ermmm, How many years it took them to put such an amazing display in a laptop? Any why?

    Looking forward to see that type of LCD in many, many the laptops... that will be a true step forward

    The cables don't match, IPS panel has totally different connectors. :(
