Is it possible to switch display panels in a laptop to achieve a higher native resolution?

Is it possible to switch the LCD display in my laptop (Acer Aspire V3-771G-9809), which currently displays at a native 1600x900 to a display panel that displays natively at 1920x1080? I know the new 771G models have 1920x1080 displays, but I was wondering if it was possible to switch displays, or if something on the mainboard controls the display output and is therefore not switchable.

Thanks!

I thought I'd leave my updates to the question above - I purchased a 1920*1080 LCD and it worked just fine.
