    Hi there fellas and happy holidays,

    I got a good deal on a Asus i3 touchscreen transformer TP500LA signature edition from the MS store site. The weak-link is its screen; kinda lo-res and dark with no really great viewing angles. Anybody have advice as to the viability of upgrading this screen (e.g. whether Asus has similar models with better screens and whether it's possible for me to get some of the parts that go into these better screens and replace my inferior screen with it...)?

    Thanks much!

    Don't think this is upgradeable. This is not an easy machine to upgrade.
