This is a 15", 1600 x 1200 UXGA LCD, stock pull from a Thinkpad R50p. Condition is excellent, no scratches or dead pixels that I've ever been able to notice, and I have good eyes. It works perfectly, except that the backlight tube is burnt out, so if you're replacing a broken LCD, you'll need to move the backlight tube from the broken LCD to this one. If you don't have a functional backlight bulb, one can be gotten from eBay for around $15-$25.
I'm asking $200 or best offer. Any reasonable offer will be considered.

Putting in a backlight is a pain in the neck. And you can get a NEW QXGA screen on eBay for $300 so OP's price is pretty strong, to say the very least...
And when you're lucky you can run into a regular, working UXGA well under $200, sometimes well under $100...
Just an opinion from someone who can't imagine a day without staring at an UXGA screen...
