    I have a HP Pavilion dv7t-6000 CTO Entertainment that I bought just under a year ago, May of last year, and I have a small tiny flaw on my screen. I did not get the 1920x1080 screen when I placed my order, so I have the one right under it, 1600 x 900.

    First off, here is the flaw...

    I was told by HP that this isn't covered under my warranty since it's likely accidental, and it'll be around $350 to repair. I figure I may as well get a new, updated, screen and try it myself. HP told me what I need is the 7.3-inch High Definition Bright View LED SVA LVDS - Raw panel, model number 641629-001.

    Is that one glossy or antiglare? Which one would be best? If I updated to that screen, would the cable on it be compatible with my laptop or would I need an extra cable?

    Ok, so with all of that, what is the best way to get that screen? It looks fairly simple to do myself, so that's no problem. Thanks guys!

    I was just told by an HP rep in chat that the graphics card determines your max resolution, and not the screen itself. I told them I have a 1gb gddr5 radeon hd 6770m and they said that no matter what screen I buy, I can't get 1920x1080 period. Is that even remotely true?

    Absolutely not. I'm on a 6750M and I do 1920x1080 on an external monitor all the time. I mean, , my old 2600M could do that.
