How feasible would it be to put the new 120hz G73JW panel on the G73JH?

Hey all,

I ask if the JW panel will go on a JH, because if the PQ is substantially superior, then I'd seriously consider buying the panel part if available and assemble it on my G73JH, then I could have the power of the 5870m with a nice 120hz panel

The cases seem the same, but maybe there's something different in the hinges or similar that makes it a no go?

If not, and the reviews say it's a much superior panel, I'm going to try it if the part is available and shoot for it.

Thoughts?

 

AFAIK, the gpu needs a dual dvi connector to support 120hz panels. so the nvidia gpus and the 120hz panel in the jw series would probably have a different connector than the jh series

 

The initial JW model will not have a 120hz screen but the JW-3d will which comes out in November so maybe by then you can find the answer your looking for ..

@Kurt you would need Dual DVI for resolutions like my desktop screen@2560x1200 but just running a 120hz screen should work on all GPUs..

Whether the connectors on the motherboard are different for the screens on the new models we dont know yet but i guess we will find out more as time passes...

 

When we get a full tear down of the new 120Hz panel then we should know. If the connectors are the same then I don't see why it would not work. ALso like said above Dual DVI is only for high resolutions. No need for any different cable design for higher Hz.
