Broken screen on my GW 7811FX

Just like the title says it broken after a drop, i can plug in an external monitor and the laptop works fine. This laptop has served me well for well over 3 years and I have been think of replacing it but I'm not quite ready yet which has me looking into replacing the broken screen.

Questions:

1. I have and old Dell XPS with a 17" screen and the 1920x1200 resolution, will this work?

2. How do I get the specs to find a replacement part.

3. Where is a good place to buy the part?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I duplicated the thread to the proper area.

 

Opps. i don't know how the heck this got posted here, could someone move it to the hardware forum.

 

Nice, hehe. I can't move it but I can tell you the dell screen won't work and here's the one that will: Gateway P-7811FX Screen, $98 • LaptopScreenCenter.com
Note, I don't know anything about that seller, you'll have to do your own homework on them.

 

Thanks for the reply.
