    I've spent a good few hours trawling forums and panel sites for options and I'm getting nowhere, so thought I'd ask here.

    I've the standard 13.3" 1366x768 screen, a 1 channel LVDS job. Looking around it seems very hard to get FHD screens in 13.3" that aren't eDP, the only option being a 1600x900 2 channel LVDS. That would be a good compromise, but I don't see any alternative LVDS cables floating around.

    I've done the FHD upgrades to many a dell machine, usually just a case of buying a panel and a new LVDS cable, and the parts are readily available. It seems odd that parts or options aren't readily available for Samsung series 5.

    Soooo - my question is, have any of your guys any experience upgrading this model, or are the options really as limited as they appear?
