Hello there,

First time posting here and I think I could use some advice or help to see whether this is possible or not or if I should just give up.

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ACH6 that I want to upgrade my screen from an LCD to a higher resolution OLED
Specs are as follows:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800H
GPU: 3050 mobile
Display: 2560 x 1600 (120hz)

Display I want to upgrade to: 3200 x 2000 (120hz)

The current display installed in my laptop is the NE160QDM-NY2 and the display which I want to upgrade to is the ATNA60BX01-0 and here's the comparison on Panelook.

As far as I know these both share the same connector type.

ATNA60BX01-0:

NE160QDM-NY2:

So my question is this possible and what do I need to take into consideration? Panelook doesn't have much information on the ATNA60BX01-0 panels and that's the only thing bugging me. I'm also not sure if I might need to replace my Edp cable since I'm not sure if it is compatible and length wise if it will reach as the panel I want to upgrade to has the connector slightly higher.

Also I have heard that OLED also consume more power? Would this also be a factor in if I can swap in an OLED screen or not? My laptop is always plugged in but I just want to know if it might fry my motherboard or cause any issues.

Thanks in advance and I'll try to respond as quickly as I can.
