    It's extremely unlikely- except for a few units Acer doesn't use dual LVDS in 15" notebooks.

    Connector will be the same, the cable will only have half the wires but even if you replace it with a cable that has all the wires with inly single LVDS supported you won't get any results (every second line will be visible).

    Still- since you have the screen you might as well test it. Worst case scenario is a waisted hour of your life and no results.
