Inspiron 15R 5521 Screen Upgrade

Question

Hey, I have a new Inspiron 15R 5521 that I got as a gift. I am wondering if there is any chance I can upgrade this to a Full HD (1920x1080) Screen from the current WXGA (1366x768) Screen.

Thank you very much for that answer. Also do I need to get an extra cable or something to get this working?

You are welcome Hiemanshu. The cable which goes with your system LCD will be good enough for this one as well. However if you want to purchase the service kit please let me know the region you belong to. I shall assist you with the spare parts sales department contact number.

I have not done this upgrade yet, but I plan to.

I believe the part number VYY56 will lead you to either the

Full HD, AU Optronics B156HTN02(aka B156HTN02.1)

or the WXGA, AU Optronics B156XTN02(aka B156XTN02.1).

Will the Full HD model work in an Inspiron 5521?
