    Hello,

    Not sure if this is entirely the right area to post this, but my laptop is out of warranty and I recently shattered my Alienware 15 R2' screen. I'm going to have to replace it no matter what but was wondering if now would be a good time (if possible) to upgrade the screen as well.
    Have a love/hate relationship with the laptop (always been salty it didn't get a laptop with g-sync).

    GPU - GTX 970m (regret not getting a 980m haha)
    Display - Generic PnP monitor (60hz) (32 bit) 1920x1080
    CPU - i7 6700HQ (2.6ghz)

    Mainly looking to replace/upgrade screen. Open to any other upgrades you guys may know of as well!
    Thank you!
