I am just curious as I have a 15in dell laptop screen. I don't feel like buying a bigger screen for it, as it would require more effort than a slight chance of this other one working. If I matched the panel brand and era within a year or so, what are the odds that it would just work? I may just have to try this when they are out for a weekend. That would be crazy if they came back and it was changed ... I doubt anyone would notice...
