Vostro 3700 replace monitor 1600x900 => 1920x1080 compatibility?
Hi all,
We have a Dell Vostro 3700 laptop and we would like to replace the screen. It was originally fitted with a 1600x900 screen, but we would like to replace it with a 1920x1080 screen.
Does someone know whether this would be possible?

1600x900 screens.

It appears to have been an option with the system at purchase, but be sure the supplier you choose guarantees compatibility - you cannot simply choose a screen on specification; it needs to be a screen the system is known to be compatible with.
You will also need to replace the display wiring harness - the one used for a higher-resolution system has more conductors in the cable. If you use the original wiring harness, you'll see only a partial image.
The other thing to consider: this is a relatively old system now, and the higher resolution screen will appreciably slow its performance.
