Only if the system ships with that option, AND you get a model screen known to work with your model system. Otherwise, you will likely find the upgrade will fail. Notebooks work only with those screens shipped with the model line - anything else either likely won't work outright or won't work fully (backlight controls reversed, no backlight, etc.).
I have a Inspiron 17R N7110 with a 900p panel. Would you tell me more about the 1080p panel installation and where you got it? I just got a Bluray write for mine. The 1080p panel would be a nice addition.
You will also need to replace the display cable -- the harness that runs between the mainboard and LCD. The one for your current screen will not work with a higher-resolution panel.
If your system is under warranty note that changing the screen will void the warranty.

Thank you very much for the link. I found some one eBay, but they were more expensive. The display cable, do you have a link for it as well?
How is your 1080p screen working? Is the picture much better?
Sorry to the revive the old thread but wanted to post some info. A display cable swap is not required. The cable in this laptop is already a Dual LVDS cable. So you just need to swap the LCD. Make sure you pickup the right lcd per the model number I posted above. There are quite a few that you can acquire for less than $100.

Hi ejn63,
That was a lightning fast reply, thanks! OK so the Inspiron 17" range only has displays up to 900p.. so I guess that's a no then.
Thanks

I just swapped the LCD Panel in a Dell inspiron 17r N7110 with a 1920x1080 1080p panel. It came with a 900p panel
I used a LP173WF1(TL)(B2) panel.
