    I have a 15" macbook pro unibody
    I want to get a high resolution screen for it, mine is the standard one.
    Is it possible?
    Do you guys know where can I get that service around SF, CA?
    And is it worth it?

    Thanks

    It's possible but it's a very expensive upgrade. A new screen will cost around $700, my opinion that it's not worth it and buy a new MB Pro.
