    Hey all. I have an out-of-warranty XPS M1330 whose LED LCD screen is failing (lines visible even when unit is off, output port works just fine). I'm not going to pay the arm and a leg Dell wants to replace it and have no problem doing the replacement myself.

    I'd like to know your opinions/advice on what my best option would be. The unit currently has a Toshiba panel, which I was pretty happy with, but I see AUO panels on eBay going for cheap. Heard they were poor quality, however. Other options?

    Can anybody point me to a decent, reasonably priced panel? (Supplier, model number, link?)

    Thank you --

    P.S. - I'm in the USA, for shipping/price purposes.

    P.P.S. - While I am at it, anyone happen to know of any alternate pin-compatible 13.3" WXGA+ LED screens I could substitute, for that extra bit of resolution?
