    Both are 16:10 and 1440x900 so the panel should fit and LVDS cables are somewhat standard, but the routing of the LVDS cable in the Vostro 1720 and the Studio 1737 are completely different.

    As you can see the Studio 1737 LVDS cable comes from the right..

    And the Vostro 1720 LVDS cable is from the left. Unlikely to work.
