    I'm afraid that even if you managed to change the lcd's your HD 5650 graphics card wouldn't be able to display at 1600x900. Check if your graphics adapter allows for resolutions higher than 1366 x 768, which it probably won't. If it does then the upgrade is feasible from a computing point of view and then you'll have to check for hardware compatibility, i.e. interfacing and dimentions.

    The 5650 has no issues with resolution.

    You should be sure of the compatibility of the connectors, I don't have any knowledge in screen replacement but sony seems to like changing connectors (see ZIF connectors for Z11 SSDs and mSATA for Z12 ones)...
