You will need to call your local Dell office and ask for "Spare Parts". Dell doesn't support post-purchase upgrades on internal components that aren't considered user-replaceable -- so yes, your upgrade WILL void the warranty. Since panels are not universally interchangeable, and on a model this new - you may want to consider returning the system and re-ordering if you do not find the existing panel satisfactory.
There may or may not be an IPS panel available for the model you have -- Dell will likely be the only place to find out.
It likely is - before you buy it. Once purchased, Dell does not support internal part replacements (other than customer-replaceable parts - essentially memory and hard drive).
@ejn63 That statement you made is completely false. The FTC has said that manufacturers cannot void your warranty if you fix or replace parts yourself, unless they find the part you fixed or replaced is responsible for damage that would be covered under warranty. The FTC said this practice is illegal unless the item costs less than $5. You can replace any part of your laptop with any part from any place and your warranty is still valid on the original DELL parts, the parts you replace would be warrantied by the manufacturer of the new part, and if DELL tells you otherwise they are breaking the law.
FTC quote:
"Provisions that tie warranty coverage to the use of particular products or services harm both consumers who pay more for them as well as the small businesses who offer competing products and services."
I am about to order a new screen for my Inspiron 15 5577 with B156HAN01.1 because the original screen is horrible on this thing. The possibility of the screen damaging the computer are slim, unless you buy one that isn't compatible, the worst you will get is nothing on the screen, because the screen is not providing any voltage feedback to the board. Electricity goes in to the screen and so does the signal, then the screen and the signal get grounded out, not much damage that the screen can do to the laptop. You could damage it during installation and if you do that would void warranty but merely replacing the screen and it working afterwards would not void a warranty.
Person lives in India so I doubt FTC has any relevance for India. Maybe India has their own sort of regulation. I do know if that model had a option for a IPS screen your probably safe if the pins match. I myself found out how bad Dell Standard HD screens are in 5567. Absolutely terrible quality so I just donated the laptop to charity. So of the cheaper IPS replacements not a whole lot better.

If one is available for your model, Dell would be the source; remember though that if you replace the display, you will lose your system warranty.

Dell won't install the part - you're free to do so, but remember - you will void the warranty on the system by doing so.
The only way to upgrade a screen is at purchase -- Dell doesn't support post-purchase screen upgrades.

Dell would be source? Give me the link where I can buy.
Warranty would be lost if I replace it by myself, even if I bought it from Dell?

I found many compatible IPS screens for this specific model online.
Can I just buy them and give to Dell local store and tell them to replace it without voiding warranty?

So opening the display part and changing the panel won't void warranty?
What if they say if something happened during the warranty, it is because that I change the panel where actually it is not?

At the bottom read the reviews and you will see there are a few people who have also upgraded the 5577 OEM screen.
