    I have it in a GT73VR and really like it. I don't game much so 60 Hz is fine. I use it for spherical video and photo stitching, editing and playback as well as VR with HTC Vive.

    I'm blind :D

    Well, the 970M is absurdly bad at 4K and you have to check if the connectors support it.

    I play at 2k only.. I use 4k for desktop
    Dishonored 2 runs on 2k60/ultra flawlessly and just started battlefield 1 and 2k is great too..
    I've checked cables already .. Default on laptops you have LVDS always 40pin.. And cable is LVDS 40pin to eDP 30pin
    So just need to buy LVDS 40pin to eDP 40pin .. easy..
