    Hello:

    I have a Dell XPS 15 L502X 15.6 with a WXGA (1366x768) HD screen. When I bought it, at the DELL Web site, I had the option of choosing a factory installed Full HD 1920x1080 screen, but sadly I didn´t choose it. Since I work in Graphic Design now I see that I want to upgrade my screen to a better resolution.

    What I have learn is that LG manufactures my current 15.6 with a WXGA (1366x768) HD screen. In fact this one is:

    LG Display LP156WH2-TLA1 Overview - Panelook.com

    I have been looking for an upgrade to a 1920x1080 Full HD screen and what I have found after a long intense search is a compatible AUO B156HW01 V7 (Full HD 1920x1080) screen that can work in my laptop.

    AUO B156HW01 V7 Overview - Panelook.com

    Even when many people says in different forums that this screen is descent in quality and features, it doesn´t have the quality of an LG or Samsung screen.

    What I need to know is who manufactures the factory installed Full HD 1920 x 1080 Dell Screen in Dell XPS L502X, to find it and then buy it.

    So, please if anyone has a factory installed 1920x1080 Full HD Screen in a XPS L502X and can tell me who manufactures that screen, it will be very very nice and I will appreciate it a lot.

    Thank you very much,

    Eduardo RG

    Thought I'd help you out here.

    My factory screen recently broke, but I did some search on the internet about the screen that's installed, and it's AUO B156HW01 V.7. That's the glossy version. The V.4 is the Matte version.
    I bought one yesterday, and it arrived today from ebay:
    AUO B156HW01 V4 V.4 LAPTOP LCD SCREEN 15.6" Full-HD AG | eBay
    This is the V.4 screen. You also need a new cable, which I bought from here:
    DELL XPS L501X L502X XPS15 HD LCD Video Cable/Screen Cable V73D3/0V73D3 | eBay

    Hope that helps. The upgrade is like night and day. That is the only seller I found who will ship the orignal, and not inferior V.0 or V.5 or V.4 screens
