    I would go with this company:

    http://stores.ebay.com/LAPTOPSCREEN1-NEW-SCREENS-ONLY

    And, as for as the screen, you can use LTD133EX2A. I think it goes for $205 here and it's a new screen.

    I like ScreenTek, but for this screen, I'd go with the other company on eBay.

    That's information that not many companies will not give out...it takes a lot of research to get all the compatible screens for a certain model...

    In case anyone runs across this, I've learned some stuff about these screens in my hunt for them. The SZ premium notebooks (ie the ones with the really thin smooth grey lid) use LED backlit displays (from what I can tell). If your screen measures 5mm thick, it's led, if it's 8mm thick, its the regular type and will be much easier/cheaper to replace. The model you want for the thinner display is LTD133EXBX. The non premium notebooks have a plastic lid that's thicker. Hope this helps someone, took me hours to hunt this down.

    it's pretty common knowledge that 650 and up are thinner led lit screens...
