    Calling all xps L501x or L502x owners.

    I'm currently sitting on a normal 1366x768 screen and wondering if anywhere I can find a 1080p FHD screen.

    Could any of you share knowledge of what LCD screen is it for the 15.6" 1080p LCD, the exact brand/model on the back of LCD, and the position of the 40pin header (either left or right)

    Thanks heaps! :cool:

    The screen is AUO B156HW01 V.4

    Can't remember which side the ribbon plugs into.

    I want to ask AUO B156HW01 V.4 is 100% same with Dell B+RG FHD ?

    If yes, why dell upgrade need paid more US150 ? because just 1366x768 Screen 'Exchange To' FHD ?

    I check the price dell default 1366x768 LCD Screen sell US220 and AUO B156HW01 V.4 About US150.

    2 LCD price very closed, why dell need user paid more for upgrade?

    Price ref:

    Is the 1080p RGB screen on the XPS 15 anti-glare?

    (From dell.com shopping in the USA)

    AUO B156HW01 V.4 is the anti-glare version

    AUO B156HW01 V.7 is the glossy version Dell uses.

    Be careful about buying it from a fraudulent online LCD reseller, because sometimes they'll ship you an inferior "compatible" screen that still works but isn't as good quality.

    It's not just eBay, it's a lot of LCD resellers you find by googling the part number.

    But if an eBay post guarantees it's the exact model (especially if it's an eBay listing from a NBR member), it should be fine.

    And if you don't care about receiving the exact top-quality part and just want a compatible one, buying from a reseller is okay - just be sure to ask what model LCD you're getting, and that you're not paying more to get it through them from the the AUO V4/V7 listing than you would pay to get it from another properly-listed source.

    Help me guys too!! I also ended buying the 720p and very unhappy with the display quality. I want to swap the screen with 1080p. Where can I buy one and what modifications I will have to do? like connector/ribbon and all? JY43 can you please guide me as you did it specifically? Thanks!
