    XPS15/L501 - I got the cheap 720 screen to avoid the long wait over xmas for the 'good' screen.

    So now, of course, I have buyer's remorse.

    There are several threads here about upgrading to the 1080 screen --- all those posts are at best unresolved. Most concern a ribbon cable issue, and CSI-type guesses as to the correct cable number.

    My particular interest is that I need the MATT screen.

    Is this it? AUO B156HW01 v4

    Has anyone successfully made the upgrade?
