Some people say Thats not full HD - it says 1280x800! Well ually it IS a 1920 x 1080 LCD. At 4:48 you can see its an LP156WF1. If you google the specs youll see its a 15.6 WLED full HD screen (which was one of the reasons I bought that laptop in the first place).\r

Heres a place that sells them (although theyre out of stock).\r

So, then, why does it say 1280 x 800 on the video? Its simple. Even though this driver board is capable of running the screen at 1080p, I usually set up my Raspberry Pis to force that mode because it enlarges the text and icons on the screen. You can do this by putting.\r

# settings good for native 1280 x 800 \r
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 \r
hdmi_group=2 # HDMIPi for 1280 x 800 \r
hdmi_drive=2 # for alternative modes get sound \r
hdmi_mode=28 # 1280 x 800 @ 60 Hz\r
