    Han anyone done this?
    Is it even possible?

    A while back, I bought one of those Gateway laptops from Best Buy 6831. Problem was, it had a 1440x900 screen. Someone on here had a screen upgrade guide where you could purchase a higher resolution screen (1900x1024 don't remember exact). Anyway, they had the screen model and where to order it from.

    I have been seeing alot on those new OLED screens (brighter better etc) and from reading the screen on the m17 is subpar. I personally don't think it is bright enough. Anyway does anyone know if you could get a OLED screen that would fit the m17x? and maybe an upgrade guide? BTW, moos CPU guide is awesome. Just upgaded my CPU with no problems.

    I am guessing the answer is no to this. Seems all the laptops with LED backlight are 17.3
