Any way to get G-SYNC working after an OLED panel swap on a Legion 5 Pro?
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX 4070 and I'm planning to swap the stock display for a 16-inch 2560×1600 240Hz OLED panel.
The OLED panel itself supports G-SYNC, but from what I understand, simply installing it in the Legion may not make the G-SYNC option appear in NVIDIA Control Panel.
The panel model I have is the NE160QDM-NM7 / BOE0C24, using a 40-pin eDP connection.
What I'm trying to figure out is: is there any way to make the Legion recognize the G-SYNC capability of the replacement OLED panel?
Would this require something like:
- Changing or modifying the panel EDID
- Using CRU
- Running the laptop in dGPU-only mode
- Modifying the BIOS
- Using a different NVIDIA driver
- Copying G-SYNC-related EDID information from the laptop the OLED panel originally came from
Since both my Legion and the replacement OLED panel are capable of G-SYNC, I'm wondering what actually prevents G-SYNC from working after the panel swap and whether anyone has found a workaround.
Has anyone successfully gotten G-SYNC working after installing a different G-SYNC-capable internal panel in a Legion?
