IPS screen upgrade for Dell E7240?

[TwentyOnePenguins]

Hello there, so, bought a Dell E7240, but the TN screen isn't hitting very high on my list. Its actually quite painful for my eyes, which probably isn't a good thing, hence why I'm looking at replacing the panel.

This has been done in the past, there is a forum post somewhere talking about it: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/e7250-e7240-screen-upgrade-possibility-fhd-ips-matte.775211/page-7

Anyhow, I've been looking at the LG LP125WH2-SPM1 model of LCD on Ebay ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-LP125...REEN-FOR-SALE-12-5-LCD-LAPTOP-UK/381134056408 ). However, when contacting the seller, they claim its not an IPS panel, which is strange to me, since from what I've been able to gather, there is only one model with this number, and its a IPS (AH-IPS). So, I really don't know if I've missed something or if the seller doesn't have their facts straight. 
Is there anyone here that has tried this, and/or know a IPS screen that works?
Any help is appreciated!

The seller would try to boast it, but he clearly says its not IPS.  Either hes being honest or not.  EIther way if you have looked up the specs and are 100 percent shure its IPS, then buy it.

I will probably do that, although, I've messaged another seller, who claimes "the IPS variant of the panel is very hard to source". This indicates to me that there is somehow two versions of the same panel? (one ips and one tn) So I'm really not sure at this point. I have found this however https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BN-12-5-LAPTOP-PANEL-SCREEN-LED-AG-HD-JUST-TN-LIKE-LG-PHILIPS-LP125WH2-SPM1/162960995845 and it looks promising, although I can't tell if its gonna work with my notebook...

Before you make the decision just call Dell and they will help you sort out if it will work etc.

Thats true, although I'm not too sure they would give any help with this, since its not exactly a supported configuration. I may be wrong though, gonna send a email their way right now...

Dell is good with support unlike some other companies I will not mention.  So you will get it sorted out some way or another.  Expect a e-mail back within 24 hours or so.
