    I have a Dell Precision M4400 and a M4300, and I like the M4300 much more (battery life, D-Dock, etc), the only thing that I really like of the M4400 is the 1920x1200 RGBLED display. I'm thinking of replacing the M4300 1920x1200 LCD with the M4400 1920x1200 RGBLED. Do you think it would be possible? Any idea or experience upgrading a LCD screen with an RGBLED of a different model? both of them are 15.4", the main problem I suppose that would be the LCD cable that connect the videocard to the inverter/lcd.

    I don't see why not with an appropriate cable.

    cheers ...

    do you know where can I get other cables? or could I made my own cable with a solder and an appropiate connector?
