Welcome to the Forum!
These are the original specs. your T60 left the factory with:
ThinkPad T60 (2008-VKF)             
Based on 2008-CTO: T2400(1.83GHz), 1GB RAM, 40GB 5400rpm HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 LCD, 128MB ATI Radeon X1400, CDRW/DVD, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 6c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro
You have a T60 14.1" standard screen. Check System service parts - ThinkPad T60, T60p standard screen. Any board listed there will work. (14.1" and 15.0" boards are interchangeable). Use the system board FRU's to assist you in your search.  If FRU is not mentioned in the listing then just make sure the board was removed from a 14.1" or 15.0" standard T60 or T60p. Be sure not to purchase one said to have been removed from a 15.4" widescreen model. You can also try to find an entire 14.1" base, which will make for a much easier swap.
As for graphics, you can choose between Intel 950, ATI x1400 (which you currently have), ATI x1300, or the more powerful ATI FireGL V5200 employed mostly on the T60p models. The boards with more powerful graphics will be more costly.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)
