Could the display be replaced/upgraded? - Ilia3101 - 03-11-2020
I've been wishing for a better display on the pinebook pro, something with better colour. Is a display upgrade possible? What are the requirements for a panel to be compatible?
I saw a thread about display upgrades on the normal pinebook, but no results were posted by anyone.

I found these specs on the Wiki:
- Model: BOE NV140FHM-N49
- 14.0" (35.56cm) diagonal size
- 1920x1080 resolution
- 60hz refresh rate
- IPS
- 1000:1 contrast
- 250nt brightness
- 63% sRGB coverage
- 6 bit colour
- 30 pin eDP connection
Would any 14 inch panel with a 30 pin eDP connection work? Does it have to also be 6 bit?

I'm afraid I don't have answers to your question, but if your colors are off, have you looked into calibrating the display panel and generating a new .icc?

I would welcome a 1920x1200 panel. As a developer I am quite accustomed to the increased vertical resolution. I understand the economics of 1920x1080 but watching videos is not the only use for the PBP.

@crusty Would be nice to have 16:10 but that would require some bezel cutting/modification
@tophneal I don't own a calibrator. If I get my hands on one I'll make an icc for the pbp. But I would still want to upgrade the panel. Most software doesn't respect icc profiles, so I like having a screen that's close to sRGB.
I might try a b140han01 .2 or .3 panel, they sell cheap second hand.
