    Hi everybody,

    I recently buyed this laptop:

    HP Pavilion 15-bc201nl

    Intel Core i7-7700HQ
    Samsung 960pro nvme 512gb (added)
    HDD 1TB 7200rpm
    16GB DDR4 2400mhz
    Display 15,6'' IPS WLED Full HD
    nVidia GeForce GTX 1050 2GB DDR5

    The original panel is an LG Philips LGD0532 that covers only 51% of srgb. I'd like to put a better panel, with 95-100% srgb and 80% adobe rgb (at least).

    Do you have any suggestion for a panel with this specs?

    (standard 15.6, right bottom edp connector)

    Thank you, and sorry for my english!

    Make sure that your laptop's warranty allows upgrading the panel otherwise you risk losing it.

    Upgrading the RAM and SSD/HDD is allowed nowadays.

    The Sharp SHP1453 LQ156M1 as provided with my Dell Precision 5510 is FHD and good quality (99% of sRGB / 79% of AdobeRGB according to my DataColor Spyder and you will struggle to find better). However, I don't know whether the connector would be compatible with your HP. The Precision 5510 manual treats the complete display as a replaceable unit. You might be able to get the info you want from here which states "LVDS (2 ch, 8-bit) , Connector , 30 pins" but doesn't give the connector location.

    Hi John, thanks, this panel would be perfect but unfortunatly it's LVDS, not eDP, so it's not compatible with my laptop.

    Maybe that link is wrong in stating LVDS, or it's a different version of the panel. The info here indicates that a 30 pin connector is eDP but this post suggests some variability. Or maybe LVDS is still used as part of the eDP spec (see here).

    Moninfo reports this for my display:
    EDID revision............ 1.4
    Input signal type........ Digital (DisplayPort)
    Color bit depth.......... 8 bits per primary color
    Color encoding formats... RGB 4:4:4, YCrCb 4:4:4

    Which mentions "DisplayPort". Does your current display have the same description?

    Panelook has a database of LCD Panels with listed specs: http://www.panelook.com/sizmodlist.php?st=&pl=&sizes[]=1560&resolution_pixels=8180

    Not all panels have specs, or some manufacturers may inflate specs, but it's a good place to start researching. Find a few panels that look like they might work, see if you can further research them, and see if any LCD retailers have them in stock. You'll want to make sure they are both physically (connector location, mounting locations, etc) and electrically compatible (pin count, channels, etc).

    If you want to order an exact model, make sure your LCD reseller will allow you to do so, since all LCD resellers will by default sell you a "compatible model."

    In terms of reputation, AUO, Samsung, LG, and Sharp are all pretty solid.
