    Is it possible if I upgrade or change the screen if I have a HP dv9500t with 1440x900 resolution to 1680x1050 resolution ?

    It is possible, but it would void your warranty and cost about $1000 for the replacement screen....

    Not really worth it.

    If you really want the upgraded resolution and are within the 21-day purchase window, I'd just the return the unit and get one with the desired res. It is only a $50 option upgrade on the CTO site, which is much better than paying $1000 for replacing an LCD panel.............
