> If anyone has advice on swapping the screen on a T420 please point me towards it - the T420 screen is, for me, the only negative.

There's a lot of people swapping them (one example [1]), but I don't know if there's a consensus on which are the best options, and there's quite a few. I think the T420 and the X220 are by far the best options for reasonably modern but not yet ruined Thinkpads, but for both of them the screens are definitely the weak points.

You can replace the T420 screen with a $45 Alienware 1600x900 screen that is allegedly plug-n-play and amazing https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/4no5ak/t420_alien...

Considering doing it to my T420S :)


I agree that there doesn't seem to be a consensus, which is why I haven't made progress.

The guide you linked to does seem to be more complete than the ones I've seen in the past, thanks!
