    I am researching LCDs for my m17x and I need to figure out what the pin outs for the stock lcds are. I know the 3d model uses a EDP, but does anyone know the pin configuration for it?
    Also what the pin config for the stock 60hz models.

    I have info on several models of IPS, and RGB LED IPS screens, but I need to figure out the pins before I buy.

    Info seems to be pretty much invisible....

    BTW, I was able to use this same method to get a IPS screen into my m11x and working.

    Could someone help the op with the answer? I would really like to be able to get a better screen in the m17x.

    Pretty much the only things I need is someone with a 3d display to give me the model number of the display it self.
    I know the 60hz display uses a lvds-40p2c6b-010e pin style connector, so any lcd with that pin out will fit.
    But, most of the monitors with that pin out are the same as the stock lcd.

    So, I need to find out what the pinout on the 120hz lcd is. As I think I can use that plug for the rgb led screens.
    There are 3 available. They use a 50 pin plug in the form of a lvds-50p2c10b-010a.
