PhlegmaticHero Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Almost got my y510p through xoticPC and they have an option to upgrade the screen to a 95% gammut screen for +$165. Wondering if anyone has done this, and how difficult it would be to upgrade the screen myself, where I would find one etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bezel is matte, not glossy. It's one of the reasons that I bought it. Love me some matte screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwaz Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You're saying the the edges AROUND the LCD are MATTE and not glossy? I have 2 friends that have these and they are all glossy, I also called lenovo and they said they all have glossy edges.Oh god. I was up WAY too late. Didn't mean the bezel. Meant the screen /facepalm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agithanp793 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I acutally got very jealous of your Y510P because the glossy bezel is pretty annoying at times, like whenever I watch movies at night and look a bit up and see my reflection and get scared shitless for a few seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joora Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I wish you could replace the glossy bezel with a matte one as well, that's the one thing I don't like about it.That's exactly my wish too. The bezel is horrible, makes the whole thing look cheap.As for the screen, I doubt it would be an easy upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conscriptvirus Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Does anyone know what kind of screens are compatible? (upgrading from 720p). Or if a different lcd ribbon cable is needed. I tried to replace the 720p screen with a 1080p screen from an old y500 and nothing showed up. Though, it's always possible that the 1080p screen i have is broken or something.

jsanossian Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I have not personally dont this but my friend bought a y580p with a similar upgrade for about $200There is definetly a better difference than the glossy screen on the yseries notebooks. I personally dont have a problem with it but i can definetly see inprovements with the different screenI wouldn't say that $165 is worth it but thats my own opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
