    installed a 1920x1200 active matrix/tft flat panel purchased off ebay for $50 made for generic laptop standard screens.

    Took me a few hours; never did it before. The hardest part was overcoming the fear of breaking it.

    If your screen has an antenna or something baked around the sides, then maybe that is going to break because for $50 and your own skill, it is possible your install will be harder than mine.

    My laptop is something I bought in 2006, and the 1920x1200 resolution is pretty astounding on it. The laptop does get a bit warmer during regular use -- it is driving a resolution higher that it was natively doing before -- but it is not like I am running a lot of new applications on it. The OS and everything works all the same but I get more desktop space and more window frame visibility as a result (plus... for a no-name brand screen, it is pretty sharp compared to the one I replaced!)
