    I just got broken my m17xr3 screen. now i decided to replace my old non 3d screen with 3d screen. The problem is screen LP173WF2 (TP)(A1) in't in stock. So my question is if i buy LP173WF2 TP B1 can it use in m17x r3 ??.My graphic card is NVIDIA as well. Thank for your support

    I don't think so, the 3D screen uses a eDP cable. To make it work you will have to get one of those. The way you'll be able to tell the difference is that the eDP cable has screws on the wide end.
