    But what is involved in the process of changing that out?

    Do you have to remove the screen, etc?

    Dell details how to remove and disassemble the M1330 display here:

    Once you dismount the LCD assembly, it should just be a simple matter of swapping the lids. You might need to reroute the antennas and such, but it shouldn't be difficult. I'd say 30 minutes does sound about right for the entire process. Maybe more if you're not particularly tech savvy.
