I've been looking into doing this for my own system. I currently own a G7 7588 and the LG panel that came with it just isn't cutting it. Do some research on what your current systems compatibility requirements are. I believe most of everything was already covered in previous posts.
Here's a video of a guy who I stumbled upon while doing research about my own process. The panel he uses is going to be different from what my system will use, but the process seems really simple. If anything this shows you that IT CAN BE DONE!
Definitely do your research and see if anybody out there has used the panel you're attempting to use. I read in a different post about a guy that installed the AUO42ED and was able to get it running; however, he was unable to adjust any brightness settings. Then I read another post that mentioned a N156HHE-GA1 panel worked and was able to adjust the brightness setting. I plan on purchasing the latter of the two. AND it's less than $100 USD, so why not?
Also, I talked with Dell and they confirmed it would void my warranty.
