I currently have a Dell m1530 and I was wondering if I could upgrade the screen. Currently the resolution can be set to a max of 1440 x 900, and I would like to get that to the 1680 x 1050 or larger, and in full HD.

1) Can anyone direct me to a place where I can find these type of screens?
2) Can I use any 15.4 monitor in the laptop, or does it need to conform to a specific standard?
 
It will probably use a proprietary connector to connect to your motherboard. Dell would love to sell you one. Contact them.
