    Hello.

    I am trying to find a compatible 17" screen with an aspect ratio of 16:10. The laptop is a MSI CX500, and i am trying to fit it inside an iMac case.
    Just under my thread there is a similar thread, but i still dont understand how to look for a compatible screen...

    The current screen is (I think) ltn156at02-a04 (samsung). I cannot find it specified in the manual, and it doesnt say explicitly on the back of the screen. 'ltn156at02-a04' is the only number found on the back, that looks like the notation used for screen models.


    What should i look for? It should be 40pin LVDS, but what else? Do i need it to be the same resolution? Or i should just try different models until one works?
