    I had my screen crack in an auto accident. Got hit so hard, it broke in a padded backpack. Anyhow, I want to replace the screen, but was wondering if I need a part directly from Dell or if I could use a 3rd party off ebay or another site with no problems?? My laptop is a Dell studio 1537. I was just wondering because I keep seeing people say you need the identical part, but then I see a bunch of places selling 3rd party parts for them. Any help is appreciated, thanks

    1 more question. DO I need the same backlight?? I believe mine is an LED backlight, ws wondering if I could use monitor with same specs, but 1 bulb backlight instead?? I see some of these come up in my searches, I just don't want to buy something I can't use.
