    I'm pondering the installation of a new screen for my y400. The hardware is excellent, but the low quality, low resolution panel really takes a toll on the it's usability. I wanted to know if there are any recommended replacement panels that are high quality and higher resolution (1080p preferably).

    So far the only 14" panel I've seen that may work is that of the Thinkpad T440s:
    IBM-Lenovo THINKPAD T440S 20AQ005SUS Notebook Display Replacement | LAPTOP & TABLET LCD SCREEN FROM $34.99.

    I'm out of my element regarding laptop panels however so any help is appreciated.

    Thanks for the link Jobine, but do you know if the screen I linked to would work? I'd rather have the 1080p for the increased resolution and higher quality.
