I am the owner of an HP ENVY Laptop 16-h1000 series laptop. There are three display options for this laptop: a non-touchscreen sRGB LCD, a touchscreen sRGB LCD, and a touchscreen OLED display with a better screen resolution and colour range than the last two (Display P3). All three displays are the exact same size. I unfortunately got the touchscreen LCD, which I realised 1.5 years after buying this laptop, so it’s too late to return the laptop now. Would it work if I ordered a replacement for the OLED screen and swapped out the LCD as an “upgrade”?

    This, I tried to upgrade a different laptop after the old LCD broke but the cable on the new LCD had 2 extra pins. Even so, I could get the post to display but nothing past that.

    Maybe I could have gotten it to work if I had more time but I needed the laptop for work. So I ended up just replacing the old LCD with the same SKU.
