Is it possible to replace my W520 screen with new IPS version?

My W520 laptop continues to give good reliable service. \
However I now look with envy the latest versions that use IPS screens. This is important to me as I am a pro photographer.
I would like to know if is possible to upgrade/replace my existing screen with the latest tech... namely the 3K (2880 x 1620), IPS LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display?
Is it possible for me to order the part and simply replace it together with the required drivers?
Thanks

Someone used an LVDS to eDP adapter to get a newer eDP 1080p IPS panel working in a LVDS connected X220.
AFAIK, no one's done it for the W520. The extra hurdle is that the 3K resolution probably exceeds the bandwidth of LVDS. No guarantees either way.
W520: i7-2720QM, Q2000M at 1080/688/1376, 21GB RAM, 500GB + 750GB HDD, FHD screen
X61T: L7500, 3GB RAM, 500GB HDD, XGA screen, Ultrabase

  • Possible to replace this green screen without masking?

    So here's what I'm working with:
    What I ultimately need to do is replace that green screen with some video footage. But there are a few problems that make this not all that straight forward...
    It starts off with nothing on top of it, but the photos are gradually placed around it (all while the camera is "swimming").
    I'm tracking it in Mocha, no problem. And getting the corner pin data in there to properly place the footage is easy.
    But what I'm having issue with is replacing that green screen footage so that the photos show up "on top" of the video. I've got the drop-in video on one layer, then the source footage on top of it and I key it out so the video shows up underneath it.
    But if I just do a basic key on that top footage, I end up screwing it up because of all the tweaks I need to do to get a good key while keeping details like shadows.
    So, is there a way to do it, without creating a precise mask around all the green? The mask would have to be generated in Mocha, I assume, since all these photos are being laid on top of it...meaning I'd need to track them as well.

    This isn't the most meticulously-planned shot I've ever seen, sad to say.  For instance, one of those cards added to the shot actually has some green in it. 
    Think about trying to green screen Kermit The Frog.
    To salvage it, I'd make a precision mask on a solid around the green card, motion track it into place for whatever kind of motion "swimming" describes, and use it as a track matte to fill up the green.  I'd use Rotobrush to create masks for the cards being placed in the shot.  I'd fake the shadows.
    No keys.

    As I can understand you want to make some of the screen field to disable or visible on screen  depending upon the interaction of user with screen 1.
    You may use this example code in PBO of screen 2.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.

            IF SCREEN-NAME = 'ZSDTPLANVRSIO-DAT_TO' OR SCREEN-NAME = 'ZSDTPLANVRSIO-DAT_FRM'.
              SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
              MODIFY SCREEN.
            ENDIF.
            " also make 2 buttons disabled
            IF SCREEN-NAME = 'AO_DO' OR SCREEN-NAME = 'AO_VE'.
              SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0.

  • Replace the Glossy Screen with the Matte Screen on a 2008 Macbook Pro?

    Can you replace the Glossy Screen with the Matte Screen on a 2008 Macbook Pro?
    Where would I get a Matte Screen for a reasonable price if I could change it?

    There are a number of issues you should consider before embarking on this project.
    1. If you have a late-2008 unibody MBP, you are undoubtedly aware that there was never any anti-glare option offered for that machine. So there is no anti-glare display that was made to work with it.
    2. If you choose to replace only the LCD panel and not the entire display assembly — which is probably feasible but involves a great deal of painstaking work — you will also need to buy (separately) the aluminum bezel that takes the place of the glossy cover glass panel in models that came equipped with the nonglare screen. The bezel covers and protects the edges of the LCD and the delicate electronic connections there, and hides all that from view.
    3. If you go that route, you will have to make sure that the cabling related to the display you are installing is identical to the cabling related to your original display. This means checking to make sure the cable lengths, connectors and routing both within the display assembly and hinge cover and within the lower case of the computer are all the same.
    4. If you choose to replace the entire display assembly with one that contains a nonglare LCD, you will have the entire, intact glossy display assembly available to sell afterward. If you replace only the LCD panel, the LCD and glass cover panel that you remove will have much less resale value and are likely to be much harder to sell at all, because you won't practically be able to offer any warranty with them and because there are probably far fewer people willing to tackle the fussy, risky display disassembly process than are willing to replace the whole assembly as a unit.
    5. Even if you choose to replace the entire assembly, you will need to verify that the cables dangling from the replacement display assembly are the right lengths and have the right connectors to tie into your lower case properly. Because the assembly will have come from a later MBP model than yours, cable routing and connectors may have changed from one to the other.
    If this all sounds more daunting than you were expecting, you may want to consider just applying a nonglare film to the glass covering your present screen. If you aren't happy with the results, you can fall back on the replacement option.

  • I wish an Ipad. Is it possible to work on the screen with 2 application toghether (2 Pages file in the same screen view) ?

    I wish an Ipad. Is it possible to work on the screen with 2 files toghether (ex: 2 Pages files in the same screen view) ?
    I need to make some transalations and so it's important for me to have the english text and the italian version that I am making, on the same screen view.
    Thank You.

    No. You cannot work on two Pages files in the same window. It is not possible to have multiple windows on the screen at the same time in iOS.

  • Is it possible to replace my old macbook with an ipad2? I need to be able to sync it with my new iphone and reset it if necessary.

    Is it possible to replace my old macbook with an ipad2? I need to be able to sync and reset the my new iphone with the ipad2 . Is this possible? The operating system of my old macbook is Mac OS X 10.4.11, which is incompatible with my iphone.

    An iPad is just a very big iPhone without the ability to voice call people. Just like the iPhone you need to connect it to a computer with iTunes to activate it, sync it, and everything else.
    There is no way to directly plug an iPhone into a iPad so you cannot sync to it.
    The iPhone requires iTunes to sync with. The iTunes application on the iPad is actually just the iTunes Store and does not contain any drivers to allow another iDevice to connect to it.

  • Replacing the glossy screen with a 3rd party anti-glare or matte

    I had my credit card ready to purchase 2 iMacs (finally rplacing our two G5's), until I realized that the anti-glare option with the 15" and 17" MBP would not be carried over to the iMacs. So I was wondering if anyone know of a third party with an option to replace the glossy screen with either a matte or an anti-glare screen. Would this void any warranty?

    Open letter to Apple:
    Let me first say, I'm a long-time, loyal Mac user (and defender). My first experience with Apple was in elementary school - on the Apple IIE. I created a game using DOS code in grade 5.
    My father was a high school teacher and brought home a Mac Plus when I was in high school. The "Paint" program that it came installed with initiated my humble beginnings as digital designer - even on the small black and white screen, with it's limited capabilities, I could see the potential. We were always a Mac family. When my mother finally retired, I talked her into getting the same 24" white IMac I currently have, because that way I could walk her through the setting up and use of it, and now we can skype each other and it's like she's here in the room with me, not a whole province away.
    I even had a Mac as a single mom struggling as a full time Communication Design student at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. My young daughter and I lived off my student loans, but they weren't enough to buy a Mac, so I asked my dad to co-sign a student line of credit so I could get a Mac to be compatible with the computers at school. This was the only way I could take my homework home and work while my daughter slept. I sacrificed a lot to have a Mac. We sacrificed.
    Skip ahead about a decade, I have my own small graphic design business, I currently have 3 Mac computers: I have a 24" white Imac as my main business tool; I have a titanium laptop for meetings and presentations, and a white Macbook laptop that my high school-aged daughter uses for school and socializing.
    I am now at the point in my growing business that it is finally time to upgrade all of my equipment. I've been excitedly holding out for the newest Imac release. I went in to our local BestBuy a few weeks ago to buy my new 27" fully loaded Imac (hey I've worked hard, why not splurge a little?) As I walked up to the Mac display and finally laid eyes on my long awaited dream machine, all I could see was the shocked and betrayed look on my face reflected in the shiny surface of the screen. I nearly cried, I was so disappointed. All I could think was "How could you? "
    What is the point of having the shiny screen? I feel so betrayed, so foolish, for sticking with Apple through thick and thin for nearly a quarter of a century. I have invested thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in Apple products, peripherals, and MAC compatible software for all of my Macs. Adobe CS3, Microsoft Office, 3rd party applications, Mac compatible fonts, and even games. I have purchased protection plans, extra RAM, home insurance and back-up devices for my Macs. I was invested in you, Apple. So what now? Will my hard earned savings now go toward buying the new PC software needed to convert my business to PCs?
    The graphics industry, for a large part, has kept Apple going all these years. We have paid the premium for our Apples, and we have just been stabbed in the back by Apple. On behalf of the entire graphic design community in North America, Apple, please offer us a matte screen option on all your new computers.

    No.  but you can sell it privately and use the proceeds towards a newer used model.

    I had a generic record class that has a HashMap to hold the data fields (...)
    method called createRecord() for each record type which would populate the HashMap with the correct data fieldsI'm not sure I understand: are the contents of this field map the same between two records of the same type? Then yes, you don't need to clone the map per record instance.
    one thing that needs fixing is the fact that each time the createRecord() method is called I'm creating a new fieldMap to define the dataFields in the record class.Probably, but that will only get you a little bigger files; you won't gain an order of magnitude on the size of files. The problem for huge files is that as soon as their content is bigger than the available memory, you'll run into problems. A more radical approach if you need to address huge files is to process the records on the fly, and not load all records in memory. Of course not all algorithms or business logic can afford that...
    I know I could rewrite the code and create a class for each record type and declare the fieldMap static but I was wondering if anyone had any better suggestions The Record instance could receive and keep a reference to its RecordType instance, and ask the RecordType instance the DataType for a field's name. That way the RecordType encapsulates the map, and there's less risk that a clumsy other class modifies the static map.
    before I go rewriting a load of code.A load of code?!? Even with the idea of the static map, you only have to edit the enum type (well more accurately, each RecordType enumerated constant's createRecord() method).

  • Can I replace my macbook screen with a better one in order to obtain more vivid colors?

    I have a 13" macbook (aluminum), using leopard 10.6.7. I've noticed the colors are not very vivid and when side by side with my girlfriends compaq cq62, the difference is obvious. I've tried adjusting contrast and everything else, nothing works. I've read that apple uses cheap TN panels and that they are the culprit and nothing can be done.
    My problem is that Im doing graphic design work and need accurate color representation. I love my mac and don't want to switch computers. Is it possible to replace the screen with a better one to get more vivid colors? If so, any idea how much it would cost and if the apple store genius guys (or whatever) do this sort of thing? Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply Bob
    I've actually tried that already. And want to know something funny? When I did my own customized calibration, it turned out worse than the default!! LOL.
    But the other profiles don't work either and the default seems to be the best. They don't help cuz they just change color tones and shades, but what Im needing is really bright, vivid colors. My comp next to my gf's, both showing the same picture of Bora Bora, looks dull in comparison. For example, hers has brighter greens and more shades of them and the vividness seems to give it more of a 3D depth, making it "pop" out more.
    Plus when I use photoshop, the colors on the screen aren't exact; they vary from the actual color seen on printed paper. But not when I do the same thing on my gf's compaq, the colors are accurate. In my field this is very important. I can't design something and email it to someone, only to have the colors incorrect. And printing everything first ***** (don't have a good enough printer).
    I've read that nothing can be "corrected" thru preferences and no software will help. It is the fault of the cheap panels apple uses. So thats why Im wondering if it is possible to replace the panel with a better one?
    thanks
