I’m doing my part on the subject,I want to upgrade the 2.8k display
I found a couple of them on aliexpress for 138$CAD, dirt cheap, comparing of the 450$CAD(with shipping) on the framework website.
The only issue i see is the connector placement that are different: framework oem and aliexpress ones.
I emailed the vendors on aliexpress and alibaba to see if they have the same framework connector placement on sale.
Meanwhile, adding this type of extender edp 40pins would help to fix the issue.
The only struggle now, is more about to make it fit the chassis. From what i tested the oem framework edp cable is too thick to have the display sit flush on the padding of the chassis. I would be getting these edp extenders to save the maximum space possible behind the display and reduce any amount of bending stress on the display.
