    I upgraded with a LG LP171WU3 TL B3 bought from Laptop Parts Warehouse and love it.

    no LED backlight screens compatible IIRC. Might want to be PM Z-Factor on these forums; he seems to be the LCD connessieur. I remember him saying that the LP171WU1-TLA2 is the best one in the series to use.

    however, it is not a direct drop-in replacement. Mounting brackets are spot welded on and need to pried off prior to installation.
