Would you mind posting the panel part number once you received a decent answer from their support ? I would love to do it myself too and yes, the MB is a pain in the back to take apart

That looks tempting, especially that I still haven't fallen in love with the dead pixel on my mb screen.
Any chance a higher resolution 13.3" panels will be available? There are plenty of 14" with 1400x900.

Ooooo. Awesome job.

I hate glossy screens. I'm waiting for the LED backlit matte display.
