A pleasant day to everyone!
How's everyone doing so far? I hope you all are having a great day so far.
Anyway, my ASUS G74SX-BBK9 has a 1920x1080 Glossy FHD 60Hz LCD Screen, but I'm curious of trying to change it. I don't have to worry about warranty since it's already more than 1 1/2 years old on my care. However I have some thoughts in my head about it.
I've seen threads talking about upgrading a Non-3D Screen into a 3D Screen and have learned that this wouldn't be possible without replacing the motherboard due to incompatibility issues because of the motherboard differences between Non-3D and 3D versions of ASUS G74SX. I'm not going to the 3D path for my ASUS G74SX in short. Here is what I want to try doing: change my laptop's LCD Screen and install a Matte version which has a Refresh Rate of atleast 120Hz.
I tried searching for a 120Hz LCD Screen version for my laptop but didnt see any. I'm fully aware that the 3D LCD Screen is capable of 120Hz and was thinking if I can still use that. I know that the Non-3D LCD Screen uses a 40-Pin LED Socket and the 3D LCD Screen uses a 50-Pin LED Socket.
I know someone might think "Why not just plug a 3D 120Hz External Monitor or TV so you can also enjoy 3D Gaming?". I've done that already and I can say I'm not into 3D Gaming, but I just want the regular 120Hz display for smoother gaming experience whenever and wherever I want without worrying about an external screen.
Can anyone kindly give their insights with regards to this? Hoping for anyone's/everyone's kind responses. Thank you very much and may each and everyone have a great day ahead!
