Upgrading laptop screen from FHD to 3K/4K

Upgrading laptop screen from FHD to 3K/4K I own GT60 Dominator 2PC. It has MS-16F4 motherboard, Core i7-4700MQ processor (integrated GPU 4600). It originally came with GTX 870m but I recently upgraded this with GTX 980m. My existing laptop screen is FHD 15.6 IPS panel LED backlight.

One thing is that, laptop screens usually have a cable with the correct number of connectors for the stock resolution. A higher resolution would require a cable with more contacts, in theory. But I don't know how that pc is built, and it could be different. But if you have to change a cable I can't imagine you would be able upgrade the screen.

"So from my own research, I'd want to make sure that the cable and the connector on the display have the same number of pins. and display to display have the connector in the correct location/orientation. Since you already confirmed bios versions to be identical, you should be in the clear.

Currently, building a GT60, from scratch, have to love MSI for using the same boards across both series. Only differences I have discovered so far, are cables. and bezels, and display. If you know any one with a bricked GT60/GT70/or Rebrand, it's worth the money to pickup, a few minutes of rework for a chip replacement, can turn into some great profits."
