    So I purchased an XMG P724 (Clevo P370SM-A ) but I would like to upgrade the current 60Hz panel to a 120Hz panel. I have sourced a 120Hz panel that is compatible it is this panel New LG PHILIPS LP173WF2(TP)(B1) 17.3" Laptop Screen 3d
    but the biggest problem I am having now is finding an EDP 50pin cable for this panel. This XMG P724 I have purchased has dual 980M's so 60fps just isnt going to cut it. Is there anyone who can point me in the correct direction. Where can I buy the cable required to run this panel. I need specific model numbers or links. Can anyone help?

    sorry for bumping an old thread but was wondering if you were ever able to find this cable (or another that would fit)? I'm in need of it myself and apparently Eurocom can't get it anymore.

    Out of curiosity have you tested what your current panel can give out when oced?

    Well the connector needs to be identical along with pin counts and the electrical wiring needs to be the same too (same pin to pin connections).

    But isn't edip a standard? Which means if its labeled as edip, it will have identical pinouts to all other edip connectors/cables - and identical physical connectors?

    I just bought that cable because its so cheap to see if it works.

    On the monitor side yes, on the motherboard side, no.
