Hello Another display question from my side … as I do not have the scheme of the early 2011 MB 17", I would like to know, if someone does know if the displays - glossy one from 2009 and matte one from 2011 - of the 17" MBs are interchangeable in general. As far as I see, there are no differences during this product line. Regards, Stone
The models from 2009-2011 all have model numbers A1297 so you can use any display for A1297. They upgraded the resolution in 2009 to 1920X1200. All models MBP 17": http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-loo… The model before that was A1229. You could also use a matte display. Not easy to find on Ebay but I have seen some. You would also have to get the bezel.
