Can i upgrade my LED 60Hz to a LED 3D 120Hz screen? Asus G750JH

Greetings everyone!

I recently bought this amazing ASUS and I am really happy with it. I love every aspect, except
one. I was disappointed with only one component, the screen. Unfortunately i could
not obtain the LED 3D 120Hz screen version. I simply could not find it for sale. So my version
brought a LED 60Hz screen and it was the most expensive i could find. So my
question is:
Is it possible for me to buy a 120Hz 3D screen compatible with this laptop and replace it myself?
Will it work and provide the desired effect? My priority is the 120Hz, the 3D effect is a non required bonus.
If it is indeed possible, do i need to replace anything else besides the screen (like the connector cable for instance)?
I would really appreciate support on this question!

Thanks in advance!

 

Yes I think this is possible, I also think that the actual cable could be different. You might want to check out the custom Vendors as to which actual screen and cables are compatible and perhaps have one of them install it to prevent voiding your warranty! Also check out the ROG forum there may be some information there also

 

Thank you m8, will do!
I also found a screen at laptopscreen.com with ID 445664 and a 3D cable (14005-00890300 they say its compatible with this Asus) at asusparts.eu.
Will try to find more info in the ROG forum before attempt to install.
In the eventuality that i actually succeed with the upgrade, i will post it for future similar situations.
Cheers!

 

I'm pretty sure the connector (on the motherboard/gpu side) is different, so it's not as simple as swapping in a 3D panel and a cable. I don't think you can do it, but in any case you'll need info from people who have opened up their 3D model and can shed light on the connector specifics.

 

Hmmm thanks m8!
If that's the case, its a huge bummer.. But i have seem cases of people who were indeed able to upgrade their screens to 120Hz from 60Hz. Not this Asus yet though. And about the connector, the information i have obtained is that the cables form the 3D and the non-3D are physically identical, which means that at least the slot should be the same lol.
I am having some mixed feeling on attempting this. I do not want to damage the machine. The information i get seems to be inconsistent. Some people say you can just with the cable and screen, some people say you definitely can't. But no one actually gives the technical reason for yes or no =\.
In any case, thanks for the input! Will try to gather some more info.

 

According to http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...750-officially-announced-136.html#post9372173 you can't. It's a post from a notebook retailer, so I assume they have had the chance to look at the internals in more detail. YOu could always try to PM them.
Also http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...750-officially-announced-122.html#post9337545 but that's a non-active user with 2 posts, so not sure how reliable that info is.

 

You cant Upgrade to 120hz lcd as there are two motherboard types for non 3D and 3D modells. Differences are slight on motherboards basically its same motherboard but with 2 connectors for internal screen and they are soldered only on one place acording to model.

 

After some extra research it seems that information is indeed correct, the motherboard for the 3D version is different because of the 3D emitter. However that is still not the last of it, because my main objective was to actually achieve the 120Hz, the 3D was a bonus which i don't really care for. So the question still remains, even if i can not plug in the emitter, can i still achieve the 120Hz?

 

As long as you get a plain LCD (no 3D gimmicks), you will be able to run it at whatever refresh rate it supports. The thing is, most LCDs are set to 60Hz. You can always use the nvidia control panel to override to e.g. 70Hz, 80Hz and if the panel supports it, it will work.

 

3d emitter has nothing to do With lcd screen. Problem is your motherboard support only lvds standard and 3D/120hz screen needs iDP.
PS. Look at picture of motherboard here. Circled in red are internal lcd Connectors marked With 2D and 3D. 3D above it is not soldered on 2D models.

 

Awww i see it. That is a huge bummer indeed ...
Ho well thanks a lot for the feed-back and help to understand.

 

You're welcome. Much smarter to tripple check before doing anything with asus machines as it never is like it seems. I have learned that hard way.

 

Yeah, be prepared to get nothing since they kind of went out of their way to make this sort of thing as hard as possible.

 

I think this custom G750JH list all the screen that will work? Asus G750JH-DB71 i7 4GB NVIDIA GTX 780M 17.3"

 

You can always replace the panel with a like for like with the same refresh rate and resolution if they use a standard 40 pin for the 2d models.
