Inspiron 15R 5521 screen replacement
Hi
I recently bought Inspiron15R 5521, its screen got damaged in travel. Screen type listed is 15.6" HD Widescreen Display. I wanted to replace the screen. I see different screens on Amazn and am not sure which one the correct one.
Can someone tell what is the part number of the screen, also since I am at it, can I upgrade to a touch screen and what is the part number for that?
Appreciate any help on this.
Thanks
Ashok

You can find the part number for the screen in the Original Configuration list at support.dell.com (use the the service tag). It's also on a label on the back of the screen.
To upgrade to a touchscreen, you will need the entire top half of the system - screen, bezel, back cover and LVDS cable.

Thanks for the pointer to support.dell.com. I see following listed for the screen
M4TK3 1 LiquidCrystalDisplay, 15.6HDF, FLAT, WhiteLightEmittedDiode, TrueLife, AuOptronicsCorp
Amazon doesn't have anything for M4TK3, but I found something similar
AU OPTRONIC B156XW04 V.5 15.6 WXGA 1366X768 LED Screen (LED Replacement Screen Only. Not A Laptop )
is this right thing?
Also Can this screen be upgraded to higher resolution, I read somewhere that video card on Inspiron 15R 5521 supports resolution up to 1920X1200. What would be part number for such an upgrade screen.
Thanks

Your screen:

To upgrade to FHD, you will need to replace the LVDS cable assembly (the original won't work with the higher resolution screen):
