Yes you can upgrade it. You need

NEW 15.6'' B156HW01 V4 LAPTOP LCD SCREEN EXACT EXACT | eBay

Its much better than the 720p screen. 90% color gamut.
FPS will drop a lot if you play on 1080p.

A jump from HD ready to Full HD is going to reduce gaming performance by almost half, if you play at native resolutions. Are you sure you'd like it??

FPS drop is related to the graphic card. You CAN get a new graphic card too.

Can the cable and screen be purchased in India and not via online?
Like the 6120tx comes with a 1080p screen so can it be got from HP dealer?

:) :) Well The dealer laughed at it,
But One best thing is that get 6120 and 6121 and swap the displays of both of them......:lol:

well maybe ill get 69** ati series .. as they are better i think ? both screen and gpu are going to cost me lot ..

the thing is i heard gpu cant be changed in laptops :!: thats why people buy desktops .. are there external gpu cards maybe ?

Sometimes they can be changed. I think a guy installed a HD6970 in his DV6 on notebookreview.com
