Dell E5500 - 1920x1200 display?

[spleenharvester]

Long shot I know but does anyone know if the E5500's 1280x800 display is replaceable with something higher res, even if it's 1400x1050 or something?

I want to replace the panel anyway because I think the one in there is crap but I've seen a 1920x1200 panel advertised as being compatible with the E5500 so it's worth looking into.

EDIT: Also Dell's site claims there is a compatible WXGA+ panel: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...=gen&sku=ny850

I believe that GPU only allows upto 1440x900 on the internal connection with a WXGA+ "Truelife" panel. External port should allow much higher. The one you're looking at may be compatible but it won't run at native resolution so you'll be looking at a fuzzy screen
