Can I replace the screen on a ThinkPad T490s for better colors?

Hardware Upgrade

Hi everyone,
I have a ThinkPad T490s and I feel like the display looks a bit washed out. I’d like more vivid colors, maybe something closer to 100% sRGB or even better if possible. Does anyone know if it’s possible to replace or upgrade the screen on this model? If so, what panel would you recommend, and is it something I could do myself or would I need a professional?

Thanks in advance!
