    Take apart your display assembly and count to see if the LVDS cable has all of the pins, and count the copper traces if you can. If it has all 40, you should be able to put a 1080p screen in there.

    I'd suggest finding one by AUO, as the LG screens seem to often have blue tints. And you can get either a matte or glossy, whichever you prefer.

    Laptop screens are basically standard when it comes to connectors. Look for an AUO B156 HW0* V*, or LG LP156W F* (**)(**)
