Thank you! Funky track for funky tech :)

i have an x201T and an x220 (with the lowest display option) and the 201 is MILES ahead of it in terms of screen quality

Yes, I read about that. Maybe I will do this mod sometime in the future. It's a very interesting mod!

How to do that?

doesn't that require soldering?

I'd love to see that video !

@@JuanJimenez. probably does, as you need additional controller for that(i believe)

The caps lock light is not working :(.

Yes, that's true. It is hard to find the exact model. I also searched a long time. I cannot say how compatible these 'compatibles' are since I gladly got the right one. I wish you success finding the right one!

'compatible' means 2 things, one true, one double-speak (both apply at the same time, at the same auctions, mind you). Compatible No1: it will work when you swap it for your old screen. Compatible No 2 = "it is not IPS, but we know that people are after IPS panel, so we entered the parts No into the ebay auction title, adding the 'compatible', so when you see what you want to see, rather what we say in the product description, or when we don't say anything specific about IPS / Non-IPS, and you order and install and realize it's not IPS and come back to complain, we will point to the auction title of 'compatible', and wait for the next sucker". Basically that's what it is, a scam. Some sellers have at least enough decency to put NO IPS in the title. Essentially, 'compatible' on ebay = non IPS.

Thank you for the comment. I'm sorry, but I don't know a ThinkPad T2.

You don't know anything about what you're talking about.

I don't know the technical differences, but according to this forum post, the SL-T1 has less resported issues with ghosting. forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=120564

The 1080p (or X330 13 inch) mod is definitively on my list but not in the near future due to its price and availability ;).

@@classicdome9347 i saw the board soldering to the motherboard but i wanted to get a second emergency motherboard first, in case something goes wrong

Good idea :)

Such a bummer that a 1920x1080 wasn't offered in the original x230. The low res screen is its biggest weakness.

Thanks. No, I did not modify the boot logo. I use UEFI instead of legacy boot which results in this logo.

I bought it on eBay, but since this is long ago, the link does not exist anymore. I know it is hard to find these panel with shipping from Europe. I hope you'll find one!

Thank you for your comment. The ThinkPad X230 is not very capable when it comes to gaming. Some older classics work well though. If I find some more time to create content in the future, I may do a gaming test :).

@@classicdome9347 thank you for the answering, im just curious about old device that has been upgraded and their power to do some activity such as editing and gaming

FHD mods exist, may be some higher resolution mods also. But they involve heavy modding and installing additional hardware that use the signal of the display port, which is not usable anymore as a result. see: imgur.com/a/NooMC (2560x1440 mod) nitrocaster.me/store/x220-x230-fhd-mod-kit.html (FHD mod kit)

@@classicdome9347 thank you

Yes I think so. But sadly I'm not 100% sure.

Thank you for the comment! There were different Panels used in the W530, maybe they can be swapped, but I'm not sure.

You can't do it in Xseries. Maybe you can in T-series tho

have you seen this anywhere on yt?

You are absolutely right. These modern FHD (or higher) 13.3 inch screens are looking amazing from what I've seen. Maybe that's a project for the future!
