Hi, I'm new here.
I cracked my screen a while ago, and ordered a new part off some dinky little website. I was aware that the resolution would be 1366x768 instead of 1600x900 on this new screen, but I was unable to find the exact part I broke. Now, many months later, I decided to search again. I found this page.
Would anyone be kind enough as to look over those, and let me know which screen would be the 'best' one to get, whatever that might mean. I notice they are all the same price, but have different specs in the names. I am more of a software guy, and rely on others help for hardware advice. Thanks to whoever helps.

If you're looking for a 1600 x 900 display, you definitely want one of the two "HD+" displays. God knows why they are selling 1366 x 768 displays for the same price...
Both displays are WLED and made by AU, and "Grade C", so I don't think it should matter much which one of the two you buy... might want to read up on what that "Grade C" business means, though. -

While LG screens do generally seem to be better than their non-LG counterparts, I wouldn't say it's guaranteed to give superior image quality. That being said, I'd still go for the 1600 x 900 display, just because I personally find 1920 x 1080 (or the 16:10 equivalent) to be a touch too small on a 15" display.
If you don't think such is the case though, I think you should get the higher-res screen, simply because the increased resolution is guaranteed. -
Yea that's a good point. My friend has a Studio XPS 17XX though, and his looks fine with 1900x1080. But maybe 1.6" difference would take it below the comfortable size, like you say. I'll have to go to a store and see before I buy it.
I notice the 1900x1080 one says "Full HD", which I assume means 1080p (Where as I currently have 720p with my 1366x768). If I were to watch a 1080p video on both, would they look the same, just with different resolutions? Or would the "Full HD" one look better? -

On a 15" display, I personally don't feel like there is that big of a difference between 1080p and 720p on either resolution, but once you start going to desktop monitor or even TV sizes, the increased resolutions (1080p video on 1080p screen) do start to look noticeably better than their lower-resolution counterparts.
This is something you should really try for yourself, though. I know people who insist that there is a huge difference between full HD and less than full HD on 15" displays, so your mileage may vary.
