    hello recently sold my Alienware 13 R2 touch screen and purchased an Alienware 15 R2 non touch, the 15 R2 comes with the 980m version and would like to upgrade the 1080p screen to the UHD touch screen version. Now unfortunately i havent had any luck finding threads on this forum (maybe im blind) regarding this kind of upgrade besides a few people upgrading to a different 1080p model. I was wondering if this has been done before and if there are any threads regarding this type of upgrade. From what ive gathered i assume for this upgrade you would need

    -the 40 pin edp oppose to 30 pin
    -the actual screen its self
    -and lastly an adapter for the bezel so that the screws are relocated to the sides on the UHD screen oppose to up and down on the 1080p Screen

    any help or input would be appreciated! Thank you!!
