Upgrading MSI GT725/729 LCD

Anybody with luck, who alredy tried this?
For example WXSGA+ for WUXGA?
Which lcd panels are compatible with GT725/729?
I found LG lp171wu3 1 x ccfl wuxga for 160-200$ (but no invertor included) with suggestin that it can work on gt725.
Do i need new 2channel LVDS cable, or old one used with WXSGA+ is alredy 2ch? (I know they are backward compatible, so why would MSI use 1ch anyway?).
What about invertor, do i need new one, or old one will work fine?

 

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for, but here is what I can tell you.

As long as you get the same exact physical size of screen with the same amount of back-light lamps you should be fine. Weather it is glossy or not will not make a difference.

The inverter you have should be just fine as long as you supply it with the same amount of aforementioned bulbs. Getting a new inverter would be kind of pointless partly because you would only be replacing it with the same inverter you are using now. Inverters are practically proprietary and come in many, many different variations and very seldom do you find so much as two laptops or screens that use the same or similar inverter. In other words you will have to work with the inverter you have now.

Getting a screen with more lamps will still work, but you will have to choose which of those lamps you wish to connect to light the screen. Usually one or two lamps alone is plenty enough to light a screen anyway.

The only thing to worry about apart from that is the connector to the screen itself. So long as you stick to the same screen size and stay within descent range of your screen resolution (no more or less than one resolution higher/lower than what you're using now), the screen should usually come with the same connector.

 

I have found web selling replacements for notebook LCDs and they say that I need exact same resolution, otherwise inventor and LVDS cable may be destroyed.. And i do not know why.

 

They may not be entirely wrong about that. I can see the LVDS cable being a problem in some cases, but the inverter should survive just fine. They may also just be saying that because they want people to get their replacements from the original manufacturer. Money may be the key factor there, but don't quote me on that!!!

 

Would be nice ti find all lcd panel used by MSI in GT725/729 then... :0(
