    I like my Elitebook 2170p except the TN display. (That is utter garbage.)
    I noticed that the 810 Revolve has a panel with the same resolution, same dimensions and same connector but is an IPS panel.

    Regarding the connector both screens have the 40 pin 2,5 cm wide one. So mechanically this will fit, but the question is if they are electrically compatible. As I understand these connector was use for 3 different electrical wirings: 40-pin eDP Touch, 40-pin eDP QHD+ and 40-pin LVDS. Also I am not sure if the connector is placed in the same position on the two panels. (Seems the one for the 810 Revolve has the connector on the bottom in the middle and the 2170p has it in the bottom left.)

    What do you think? Is it worth a try?
