Late 2011 15" w/ 6750M 512MB - Swap glossy display with HR display possible?

I've got a Late 2011 MBP 15", 2.2 GHz, 6750M 512MB, and the stock 1440x900 glossy display. I've been doing some research into swapping the display panel with the high-resolution, glossy panel. The part that I need is the Samsung LTN154MT07, 9CB6. I've been able to find the part online for a reasonable price, and everything I've been reading is that the LVDS cable is the same, so a direct hardware swap is possible.

However, I've heard that the entry-level GPU on the Late 2011 MBP, the 6750M with 512MB VRAM can't drive the high-resolution display. This doesn't seem to make much sense, as it doesn't take much to drive 1680x1050 resolution and the 6750M has more than enough power to drive the HR display (in theory).

Has anyone else here on NBR attempted a display swap? I've been searching Google, MacRumors, and NBR forums for a while now and have come up short.

The MacRumors forums so far have been non-helpful, maybe NBR will be a bit better.

 

You could order those machines with the high-res glossy or matte screen right from the factory, so the assertion that there's some issue with the GPU is incorrect. I think the inadequate GPU memory thing you're referring to here was for external displays. My impression (and correct me if I'm wrong) was that the low-end MBPs had difficulty driving the Thunderbolt monitor.
