anyone has idea about screen replacement in Y50 in India? All the screens in international forums are not easy to find in India? i think with a decent screen replacement, Y50's quality will go up considerably with still low price tag than competitors.

Also anyone has any experience in calibrating the screen colors and all? Till the replacement is available as option i would like to optimize my current screen settings. Any help on this is appreciated.

I dont know how others find screen acceptable. It put so much strain on my eyes, reading text was very hard.

I couldn't find anyone selling 30pin Full HD screen in india, so I bought from this guy off ebay -

New 15 6" Full HD LED LCD Screen for AUO B156HAN01 2 | eBay

The difference is unbelievable. Replacing it took less than 15 minutes. PM me if you have any questions and I will be glad to answer.

Bad news guys. Lenovo has put throttling on battery in 4gb version.

I was not able to play need for speed on battery properly .It dropped a lot of frames. So i checked on Furmark test.

When the laptop was connected to the charger gpu clock was above 1000mhz
When the laptop was noy conncted to the charger the gpu clock dropped to 500mhz.

Why did lenovo do this or is this a problem on my laptop only? Mind you my laptop was on high performance mode!!

Maybe a typo ? No reviews either. There would be very interesting reactions from people if there is a change in screen type without a model change now I guess. But then, I would buy it immediately, thats the blocker for me.

Resellers usually can replace components without voiding the warranty. Lenovo gives some resellers a license to do that.

I can see that coming from a user who has never owned a laptop before.
All gaming laptops throttle in battery mode. This is because no battery is powerful enough to provide the necessary power.

That guy ships to India. Just make sure you message him that you want the exact model and not a compatible one. I got mine within 6 days of ordering. Cost was around $150 or something including shipping via fedex.

Yeah, its the same one. Just ask them to send the exact model and not a compatible one. Good luck.

The tigerdirect link has been discussed on notebookreview, they have a typo and refuse to fix it.

Before ordering the display make sure to message the seller that you want the EXACT model otherwise they will sell you a compatible one.
I am also planning on upgrading the display, but first need to sell off a wifi card I have from when I had the Y510p, (2months).

Broadcom BCM94352HMB, BTW

Why not this seller?
15 6" Slim LCD Screen B156HAN01 2 FHD Display Non Touch for Acer Aspire R7 571 | eBay

EDIT: Do PM me if anyone is interested in the Wi-Fi card, does not work in the Y50, but works in the Y510p.

Hello Guys,

I ordered a 4Gig gfx variant of Lenovo Y50, which i got few hours back but right now I am in a situation where I am confused if I have got something else than what I have ordered.

First of all, Please let me know if the system information should show the way it is in the link ( *i.imgur.com/rYX8GkL.jpg )or I should contact the customer care for the replacement of the system and Secondly do help me on how to make sure if my system has a 4GB gfx card in it rather than something else. Thanks!
