    Is it possible to upgrade the LCD with the LED version?

    I purchased the M17x a few months ago (Core2 processor and NVIDIA GTX280M SLI).

    Now I see Dell has two lines of the M17x:

    i5/i7/ATI4870 with an added panel option 1920x1200 RGB LED

    Will this LCD even fit in my rev 1 model?
    Is it possible to order it from Dell some kind of way?

    No. Not possible. I dont have the link handy, but if you do a search, The_Moo has a thread on this. He checked it out and its not compatible.
