    1080p to 4K Laptop Display Upgrade on Asus TUF F17, is it possible?

    So recently I purchased a 2022 Asus TUF F17 laptop off Amazon considering it seemed to be a great piece of equipment for the price point. The model is FX707ZE but there was an oversight on my behalf, the display, which is total garbage. That being said I did some research and apparently people are able to upgrade certain display based on very specific compatibility requirements. Causing me to spend the last 5 hours hyperfocusing on what seems like it's never been done to this specific model.

    I want to upgrade it because of how terrible it is. I was able to find an upgrade 4k replacement panel with the exact same dimensions, same 40 pin EDP connection, same voltage, everything's the same hardwarewise. Except for the fact that I have a flat and this one's considered a slim panel which is about 2 mm off..

    The question is, will it work?? The laptop currently has the stock B173HAN04.9 and I am trying to upgrade it to a B173 ZAN06.8. I've already tried contacting Geek Squad and Asus's Tech support to no avail. They know even less than I and were completely dumbfounded by the idea, dismissing it almost immediately. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    The factory 2022 TUF F17 came with:
    i7 12700H
    Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti
    2x8Gb Ram DDR5 4800Mhz
    1Tb SSD Gen3
    Motherboard part# 90NR08V1-M000A0
    and the cost was about $1100

    My upgrades will be:
    2xNextorage Japan 2TB M.2 2280 with Heatsink PCIe Gen4.0 NVMe NEM-PA2TB/N SYM Maximum Transfer Rate Read: 7300MB/s, Write: 6900MB/s
    $260

    2xG.Skill RipJaws DDR5 SO-DIMM Series (Intel XMP) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 262-Pin DDR5 4800 CL38-38-38-76 1.10V Dual Channel Desktop Memory F5-4800S3838A32GA2-RS
    $180

    17.3"4k 120HZ LED LCD SCREEN B173ZAN06.8 EDP40PIN 3840X2160 UHD NON-TOUCH
    $145 (lucky eBay find)

    That's roughly $1700 bucks give or take, anything in the market with those specs will run at least $2200 to $2500.

    And the video card (3050) is capable of pulling games at 4K with good FPS, if it was 3070 or 3080, then we could think about replacing it.

      Can't replace the card without replacing the entire motherboard though.. but yeah, the 3050 ti should be able to allow me to play games in UHD with the graphics at medium settings at the very least. Considerering that this is 1 of three forums I've posted this on and it seems like it hasn't been done before with these specifics.
