Is there a high res panel for a IBM think pad T41?

I recently got an IBM Thinkpad T41. Power wise it is adequate for my needs. But, the screen resolution is pretty low. Did this computer have an optional higher resolution panel? Can I just swap in a higher res panel or would I also need a new video card?

Update:

1400X1050 would be perfect. That is why my current computer can do. Do you know what the model number is? A source? Will the current video card work? Thanks.

    You'll need a whole new laptop. The T41 doesn't have any options as far as LCD or video. Its an older outdated model -- time to get a new Lenovo.

    One thing about IBM/Lenovos -- they become outdated way before they get hardware problems. Everyone take note!

    Depends on whether you have the 14" or 15" model. You can get 1400x1050 screen for the 14", and higher for t he 15" (I recall 2048x1536 was possible on the similar R51)
