Well, you make it sound easy but it took me a little while to find the hidden screw right next to the green WiFi indicator on the LCD.

LOL, that one is kinda tricky. Luckily I didn't pull too hard before I realized they had hidden a screw.

Thanks for this information. Next try would be to try to install Samsung original screen from Samsung Q30 clone of X1. The reviews say that this display is brighter and has better contrast, though it still has the same resolution as X1.

Another candidate could be a display from MSI S260 or 270 (some other numbers may be used in the US for these new MSI subnotebooks), they have 1280x800. However, they are probably identical or very similar to those in i700m.

It seems that Dell and Samsung have used a pretty unique 12" display (high resolution, and light!).

The Samsung Q30 is so expensive I don't think it would be worth trying to find that screen anyways! Instead, someone should try that nushield product or something similar (that glossy sheet you can add to simulate the high contrast/vivid screen coating used by a lot of manufacturers).

As for the x1 screen, the viewing angle is disturbingly narrow (especially vertically, which is kinda annoying), but other than that it looks great!

Concerning the screen of X1, it is probably the only small problem I have with this ultraportable: the image is a little bit grainy, the vertical angles are small (though, sufficient for comfortable work in the office), and I would like the screen to have one or two higher brightness levels.

I have undervolted my PM753 to 0,716V at 600MHz and 0.812V at 1,1MHz.
