While not for most people, it is realtively easy to replace the screen with a higher quality panel. I have a T495, and replaced the panel with a higher quality one. No screws, just sticky stuff, I was concerned about this at first, as I didn't know of the sticky substance would remain viable after swaping thescreen, but it is working great. Since I am not changing panels everyday, it isn't an issue.



Yes, I've seen the DIY videos of it, but I never felt confident enough to do it myself. And what would you do with the old panel? Ebay?


ebay is a good option. I pickup old broken laptops on a semi regular basis, fix them, and give them away, so I keep the old screens around.
