Samual Adam Strand Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I've been searching high and low for some concrete information on upgrading my Alienware 17 screen. From the information I have gathered from guides on other models is that you may need the specific motherboard for the connectors.So I thought i'd ask for a bit of help on the matter as I am till unsure on what the procedure will be for my model. I've had the screen replaced by a technician under warranty so I am comfortable with taking it apart myself. The screen I currently have is the full 1080p 60Hz matte display. The display I am looking at is the 60Hz 3D model.Any help on this would be much appreciated as well as any recommendations as to where I could obtain the parts with being based in the UK.

LordGMLP Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Before you consider upgrading better take a look at this my friend. I'm having a 3D 17 myself. So far so good though . Alienware 17 with 120Hz 3D Display Has No Integrated Graphics or Optimus... | geek of technology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasondaniels10 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The 3D 120hz screen is incredible, I love playing the games in 3D it looks absolutely awesome. One issues I did notice though. When you disabled the 3D function It sometime kicks it into 60hz or sometimes leaves it a 120hz. I know this isn't a screen issues it is just a little bug in nvidias driver. Nothing to serious I haven't had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
