    Hey all, I did a preliminary search around the forums and didn't come up with anything so here it goes...

    I have a DV7-4069wm that I got DIRT cheap. So far I've added added a Momentus XT, swapped out the motherboard for one with the 5650 1GB GPU, and changed the CPU to the P2 N970 Quad; so I've pretty much got this thing tapped out when it comes to speed :)

    BUT, is there anything I can do to upgrade the screen from the stock LED 900p screen to a 1080p screen? Officially, in the HP parts listing for this series, there isn't one listed. But theoretically shouldn't I be able to buy a 1080p LED screen for another DV7 on ebay and just swap it in?
