    I want to put a lower res screen in my w870cu. I currently have the full HD screen. I would like a 1360x768 screen or 1600x900. Where should I get one that'll work with my laptop?

    Oh yah, is it hard to switch the screen out and anybody have any instructions or a link to a how-to-guide?

    The 1920x1080 res makes text a bit too small.

    press Ctrl and turn your mouse wheel and it makes the text bigger.
    will help while you wait for a reply.

    Changing the resolution/DPI in Windows should help too.
