  1. A friendly note on how well this works. I bought the 7MGPK from pchub. It took several weeks to get here, but it did arrive and it is a dell part. However, the length is a little long and took a little convincing to fit in the provided space. This isn't a big deal, just an fyi. Anyone should be able to overcome. What's more interesting is the 1680x945 screen. I purchased the linked one (14 0" 1680x945 LED Screen for Dell Latitude E6430 LCD Laptop | eBay) (from a great seller, btw - they refunded me 100% for shipping to the wrong address when I ordered again). When I had the laptop apart to disassemble, I plugged in everything before reassembly to ensure it actually worked (remember, if you have new hardware and a bios password, you need to turn off the password for it to detect new hardware. This made for an interesting endevour when I installed http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ALDTRO, which works BTW ). Upon booting, gnome recognized it as just a regular 1600x900 screen. I have't had a lot of time to confirm this, as my next issue was this: The LCD is actually a bit too big for the plastic guides and is going to take remove of the LCD rails and light dremeling of the outer lcd plastic to fit. Both the OEM and replacement screen claim 12x7.4 dimensions to fit, though I haven't confirmed either because I had to reassemble. The only other issue was the the 40pin on the lcd is on the right side of the laptop (towards cdrom bay) and the cable (oem and aforementioned replacement) both end at the left side. I had to order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M16YAZW - which I haven't tested yet but I assume it works even for 2 channel LVDS. Does anyone have advice on the LCD being slightly too large? My system came from the factory with a 900P AUO B140RTN02.2 panel with Dell p/n 0M4RTT. I find brightness and viewing angles quite satisfactory. A photo of my 900P LCD's model labelling is in the spoiler below. 1080P or higher resolution : not possible since the E6440 uses a LVDS rather than eDP internal LCD interface. The max resolution available in 14" LVDS is usually 1600x900, representing 37% more viewing area than 1366x768. Though ebay has 14" 1680x945 LVDS LCDs, giving an additional 10% more viewing area over 1600x900 or 51% over 1366x768.
