    Hey

    Its not compatible, as your screen is a dual-CCFL screen, its not setup for a LED screen so no they aren't compatible.

    thanks!

    Oh no! :-(
    There is a possibility to replace the panel with some other more powerful in terms of brightness and contrast?

    Why do you need this replacement? You have excellent screen!
    I don't think you will find something better than Chi Mei N184H4-L04.

    iirc the x8100 still had a 16:10 screen as opposed to 16:9. several years back that was actually the predominant size with 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 resolutions being the norm.
