    Has anyone successfully upgraded ASUS K53E from 1366x768 to 1920x1080 or heard of anyone that has successfully done this?

    Thank you.

    I upgraded my n53 to a fhd display, used the 4 lane LVDS cable from the fhd n53 model, and got a decent fhd display. Go to your bios, press f12 and reply with the model of your mobo that is shown in the bottom right corner.

    Senso: Thanks for responding - that's encouraging news! Unfortunately My ASUS is at another location which I won't be able to access for 1-2 weeks. Until then the model is K53E-BBR9, if that helps. When I access it, I will report the MOBO number as you indicated.

    Thanks senso!
    My mobo model # is 'ASUSTeK Computer Inc. K53E' - no other numbers. I think I read somewhere the mobo video connector only has socket/pins for lower res monitor- but not sure-maybe not.

    Going by all the photos that I can find of the K53E, there are 4 LVDS differential pair lanes on the pcb going into the display connector, the connector and LVDS cable is the same used in the N53, so I would say that it should work, does your K53E have any dGPU, or only the iGPU?
