Lenovo Thinkpad T440s Display (Full-HD, no touch) Replacement

Introduction

The possible screens for this model of the T440s are the

  • AUO display B140HAN01.2 (FRU: 04X0436)
  • LG display LP140WF1 (sp)(k1) (FRU: 04X0626)

I had a AUO installed and replaced, so no judgement on the quality of the LG display, which can be followed in various Thinkpad forums.

Did this upgrade with my T440 and worked great, used a LP140WF1 / B140HAN01 display added some much needed pixels and IPS viewing angles. I bought from Aliexpress Store: Kevin trade shop.

Can this be done as an upgrade

You mean from “normal” to touch display? I cannot comment on a touch device…
