    Hi all, I want to know from reseller here or member that know really good the laptop, if it possible because Clevo P375SM and Clevo P370SM are the same laptop essentially, that the 3D screen form the P370SM can work on the P375SM ?

    Heya! Happy Friday to you. Here's the real quick rundown on those screens: basically, you're right. The 370SM and 375SM are basically the same deal- they look a little different. So, chassis-wise, they should take the same screen. The only little issues come from a small detail about how they look different. Notice the 375SM's touch pad: it has that little purple icon on it. That icon is back-lit, and when you're looking at the 3d screen, that light kind of throws off the image a little bit. As silly as it may sound, the manufacturer thought it could be an issue (and, honestly, if you pay for a 3d screen you don't want anything hampering its performance so I tend to agree with them). Second thing is, again, the touch pad culprit: the power requirements of the computer are not optimized for the back-lit keyboard, touch pad and 3d screen, so the manufacturer decided not to release the unit with 3d screen as an option. Could you fit a 3d screen in there? yeah, but it couldn't be guaranteed to have the good performance you're looking for when you're 3d gaming. If you want the 3d screen I'd just go with the 370SM, I think it looks nicer anyway. Hope that was informative ;)

    So if I understand what you said ( Because I speak french sorry) If I dont care of the backlit touch pad , the 3D will work with no probleme ? If it only that I find that very stupid to not offer the option ...

    Anothers reseller say to me that the 375SM doesn't support 3D emitter so can't run 3D panels, but will run at 120Hz, but 3D will not work.

    So you sure on your side this will work ? I need to be sure before buy that setup ;)
