T14 Gen1 AMD: LCD Upgrade

#1 Post by Python.p » Fri Oct 24, 2025 3:50 pm

Hi there,

is there anyone here who has successfully replaced the display in a T14 Gen 1 AMD with a better one?

I bought this laptop second-hand, and it does everything I need. The first unit I looked at had beautiful colors, but there were key markings on the screen — a no-go for me, as I'm very particular about screen cleanliness.

The second unit I ended up buying is in like-new condition, but the display is absolutely terrible — a strong green tint, feels extremely slow, and I haven't been able to calibrate it properly. I later looked up the panel model, and the 45% NTSC rating explains quite a bit. Specifically — https://www.panelook.com/LP140WFH-SPP2_ ... 55418.html

I'm fine with FHD IPS... although if someone has tested a higher-resolution panel, I wouldn't mind. I don't do photography, but having decent colors and contrast would be great. :)

Thank you very much

The T14 AMD Gen 1 is limited to FHD (without modifications): excerpt from https://hackaday.com/2024/09/29/thinkpa ... nt-8045370
This reminds me of the delightful surprise I got with a T14 (AMD) when I looked into swapping in a higher resolution panel I had from a T490.

On the AMD T14s they leave the capacitors for half the eDP lanes unpopulated; while they are fully populated on the Intel based T14s. iGPU supports 4 lanes without trouble; and it’s a 40 pin connector in both cases; but they just had to spitefully break compatibility with higher resolution panels over what must be pennies worth of SMT capacitors.
