    Been in the market of buying a laptop for the past few weeks. The laptop that I want would be the Sager NP 5793 but because its a matte screen it might be a deal breaker. I might get it if I am able to switch the screens , too glossy, at a reasonable price. Anyone know any dealers or websites that do this service or sell the screen type? Unless anyone knows a good 17" gaming glossy laptop at around the same price but does not need to have blue ray.

    get a lg lp171wu1 tl a3 or lp171wu3 tl a3 both will work for you i prefer the tl a2 version but you would have to remove the upper and lower brackets for it to fir which is pretty easy to do though.

    Search using screen product code not by notebook model. Many notebooks use identical screens and also there are substitute screen models which seller may know better.
