    Hi all

    Sorry if this has been detailed before, I searched but cannot find a specific answer to this, I am hoping someone may be able to assist.

    I have ordered a P370EM. I want to upgrade to a 120Hz lcd however my seller did not offer this upgrade so I am doing it myself.

    I am unsure if the LCD in p370em connects to the motherboard or the cards themselves. When I buy the 120hz lcd, do I need to get specific EDP cables to connect the LCD to the motherboard EDP port or cards and can anyone shed any light on what I should be looking for specifically. Or will the default cables do ? I am thinking the 120hz screen will likely be 50 pin, not sure if this the case with the default LCDs which ship with the p370em.

    Moving on and "assuming" I overcome the cable issue and the screen eventually gets physically plugged in, will I need a custom BIOS to get it out output to the new LCD ?

    Likewise with drivers - will I need custom drivers ?

    Many thanks for your time and attention.
