companies tend to use the same LCD/LED across most of their laptop lines.
something i noticed when looking into doing this for my G51 was that soemtimes the cable used on the lower cost G51vx, was different than the cable used on it's high def brothers.
so if you were to buy a new panel and hook it up, and get green lines or, something else just weird, start looking to see if that cable has the right number of wires. from my understanding the ends were the same but the lower end models would have fewer wires, since they didn't have to support so many pixels.
cost for upgrading a g51vx from 1366x768 to a 1920x1080 panel was about $150. this would be worht it if it wasn't for the fact that i can pick up a used monitor or tv and run the hdmi out to it. then again, i'm probably not going to find a 1080p monitor for $150.
