Have you considered Nitrocaster's fHD display mod? I used a LVDS to eDP board to upgrade my dads T420 to a fHD IPS panel and its a night and day difference.

This is super interesting - would you recommend to someone who has never soldered before?

Apparently not. I'm devastated! There's a redditor in California offering to do it for people.
Sadly I'm in Australia and the postal systems are crazy right now.

Its quite an easy install, get yourself a narrow SMD tip and take it slowly. The only fiddly bit is soldering the sense wire onto the capacitor pad.

Get yourself a cheap soldering iron with a fine tip, and practice making rows of tiny dots on a piece of cardboard first.
