    Hi guys

    Is it possible to upgrade a mini 10v WSVGA to a WXGA screen, by just replaxing the screen? Or do you need additional parts? beze, cable etc?

    I want to go from 1024x576 to 1366x768.

    Many thanks

    Steven

    The Mini 10 never shipped with a WXGA display did it? If it did, this should be very straightforward, but I don't think anyone makes a 10" 1366 x 768 display (and this isn't WXGA; WXGA is 1280 x 800), and even if someone did, it probably isn't compatible with the Mini 10.

    EDIT: I lied; the Mini 10 apparently does have a "720p" option:

    So yes, this now should just be a simple matter of sourcing the part and installing it.

    EDIT2: I'm retarded; totally missed the "v" in the title and thread -_-

    See post below.
