Replace Laptop Display

[chaws]

I am looking into replacing my laptop's LCD screen and read that you should be cautious when changing the resolution because sometimes the graphics card will cease to function.

Computer Model: Dell Precision Mobile WorkStation M4500
Computer Graphics Card: NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M

Original Screen: http://www.screentekinc.com/Dell-T5CDR.shtml
New Screen: http://www.screentekinc.com/Dell_Precision_M4500--15.6-inch--1920x1080-full-hd-laptop-lcd-screen.shtml

Both screens are the same physical size, both have the same connectors, and both are LED back lit.

Do I need to worry about upgrading my display or should this be quick and painless?


Thanks,

Christopher Haws

The FX880 should support that resolution and Dell offered it with both monitors originally.
